InglewoodJack Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 17 hours ago, Acid-Tone said: The move to Montreal makes more sense now that Montreal announced they've shipped Ruan off to FC Dallas. (for 50k GAM + 100k in conditional GAM) Ruan must've wanted to move on as they basically gave him away. Either way, that should free up some minutes for JMR. His wife posted a story about how much she disliked living in Quebec like last week. From what I’ve heard, they actually traded him while he was in vacation in Quebec City. Fans are apoplectic about it. I’m pretty high on Bugaj and obviously JMR, his replacement, but for the sake of the team, I hope he storms out of the gate. They signed Herrera, traded him for Ruan to reduce wages, and (from fan POV) dealt Ruan for TFC’s scraps to further reduce wages.

I'd rather see him further up the pitch but listing him at defense sounds like he may continue there in Montreal. His play at RWB for TFC this season isn't too far off from Farsi's level imo, so as much as I'd love him to play further up, I'd love for him to blow by Farsi as well in that role.

It's either he plays right back or left wing. I hope that he plays left wing. We all hope that they play him at a offensive position to show us his talent!

Was about to post about the incongruity of that as well. Always wonder if people who moan about being in Montreal make any sort of effort to respond in the language somebody speaks to them in. Makes a massive difference to how you get treated and you don't need to be anywhere close to fluent to be able to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my concern. As nice as Laurent Courtois seems, he plays a LOT of guys out of their natural spots. Seems obsessed with trying to reinvent things. No idea what he has in mind for JMR, I'm kinda worried. Corazon and ahmedou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmedou Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Quote "It's very welcoming! Before I came when I was speaking with the president everyone said that's it's very family oriented here. So I'm very excited and it's welcoming for my teammates, coaching staff and everyone here. I knew of few players before come to the team, so they help me a little bit to settle in bit. So far so good!" Quote "My style of play is fast, good on one vs one, exciting, hard worker, I like to cross!" Quote "My goal is to make the playoffs! I think that's the most important for us!

Dominic94 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Looked good offensively but Montreal are a dumpster fire, thought he and Saliba was a promising duo. costarg, Corazon and ahmedou 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Thought he played way too passively. Mostly back passes, had a few opportunities to work in space but got rid of it as fast as he could. Looked like his controller disconnected when he lost the ball that started the run for NER’s 6th disallowed goal. First game and Montreal is a complete disaster, but I hope he gets a little more creative and ambitious. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a lot of that at TFC. Not going to get too worried about it yet. He needs some time to settle in. But he eventually needs to get more attacking drive if he wants to take the next step.

InglewoodJack Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I doubt it, he has 200k followers who still have access to his page and his comments aren’t locked. Don’t know which fans would be hating on him. TFC fans probably understand that he didn’t have a future there with the Italians ahead of him, and CF Montreal fans are definitely not blaming him for the 10-1 GD over the last 3 games or whatever the number is now. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockingly it seems like most TFC fans were sad to see him go. TFC ownership and management set him up to be the whipping boy. Says a lot about what fans thought of his growth, especially this season. ahmedou and Ivan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
