Floortom Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Signed? Not even a loan? So Colorado decided to just not offer him a contract based on what they saw from him in preseason? a bit odd if so and surprised he couldn’t catch on somewhere else in MLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) 43 minutes ago, narduch said: MLS' stupid rules probably make it hard to just leave and go to another MLS club. "The Halifax Wanderers Football Club is thrilled to announce the signing of Canadian midfielder Mohamed Omar. He joins the Wanderers on a two year deal, including a Club option for 2023. Omar, 22, recently completed a stellar college career at Notre Dame where he captained his team to the NCAA Tournament Final Four. Turning heads with his performances, Omar was highly sought after, eventually selected in the first round of the 2022 MLS Superdraft pick by Colorado Rapids. After impressing on trials, some squad build limitations meant the Rapids were unable to offer a contract for 2022, giving Omar the chance to consider a range of alternative offers".

I think it is to December 2022, it used to be two years after the year the player was drafted. Edit: I checked the MLS roster rules, it is still two years, so to December 2023.

N1ckbr0wn Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Weird move by Colorado (doesn’t look good on the front office regardless of stupid MLS rules) but shout out the CPL. That’s why it was important to have our own league. Players like this would’ve fallen through the cracks and potentially never really play again Zem, Xavier., Nate3322 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Even if MLS rules prevented him from being on the roster could they not have signed him and loaned him out? Maybe they just want to save some $, monitor him and sign him next season if he impresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) The MLS Draft has become less and less important with so many Clubs growing Academy Programs. It still has it's value, but hopefully we continue to see the best CPL players jump to MLS and abroad like we've seen this offseason. CPL has been such a blessing for kids like this and players like Borges & Bustos and many others. A huge stepping stone for us would be changes in MLS rules. We're seeing record numbers of Canadians on the MLS teams but they are still few and far between in USA. It's worth keeping the draft as we have seen some integral players with our National Team drafted through MLS. But for every Canadian drafted, there are 1 or 2 that never make to the MLS.

I wonder if one of those offers was MLS NextPro with Colorado, but he preferred the CPL option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Crazy that he’s a first round pick and impressed and they couldn’t sign him… shouldn’t be in the Can PL for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigzTFC Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think this is smart move on Mo Omar's part. He's 22 years old and it is unclear what is his best position. We often see talent wilt on the vine without playing time. He's going to get a playing time under Stephen Hart and probably be groomed as a CB. Especially with the two CB's they have being internationals (Schaale and Santos). Sal333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
