Metro Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Does anyone remember the amount of original transfer record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingston Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Tristan Borges was the first transfer and therefore the initial record holder. I think he still has the highest value. No official number was given but it was reported at the time as being between $300 000 and $400 000. yothat2, Metro and Unnamed Trialist 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Have all the teams had a player sale to Europe by now? Off the top of my head: Pacific - Bustos to Sweden Cavalry - Loturi, Pepple, Ntignee Valour - Akio to Scotland Forge - Borges to Belgium, among others York - Zator to Poland Ottawa - Tabla to Turkey Halifax - ? johnyb and yothat2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says a lot that Vancouver isn't even in your CPL. Haha 😄 I wonder of TJ might be our first to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_twelve Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 With the new playoff format would a player from either of the top two teams miss both their playoff games (potentially the final) if they picked up their 8th yellow in the last game of the regular season?

It still seems natural to me for a player to go to MLS or Scandinavia, and only then the bigger fee would be paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're just looking for young players with potential to move on, I think TJ seems like the best option at this point, though he's certainly cooled off since the early season.

Yes, Davies looked more dominant in MLS than any player I’ve seen in CPL, even though it’s a higher level. The level is why its surprising. I don’t understand your confusion or how you’re spinning that to indicate I’m surprised we haven’t produced a generational talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're asking for a kid to come in to a professional league and look dominant. You don't think it would take a generational talent to do that?

SpursFlu Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Was this kid who just got sold, not that young, for 500k even that dominant? Clearly he must have been good but full disclosure, I hadn't even heard of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Transfers to Europe in the Winter and summer windows from leagues in the America's. CPL managed 12. Not bad for a 5 year old league with only 8 teams. Trois Reds, Kent, Unnamed Trialist and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
