May never have another chance of playing the Netherlands or France. New coach or not, they will want to take their strongest team. It's last prep for Copa. Greg will probably be involved with training only, is my guess Ya I don’t think he’ll be a part of the squad, just there to train with the team like when Dieu Merci-Michel trained with the team I want to say in Edmonton prior to some games narduch, toontownman, Ivan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Wouldn’t be a bad move to have a good prospect as 3rd keeper especially if he’s going to be playing a few weeks later for the u20s. johnyb and costarg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I hope this means they take an extended squad for training. Also would make sense to include LDF (who I hope plays for the u20s) Ottawafan, Shway and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the sentiment, but I was curious if the friendlies actually fall in a FIFA match window since they happen before the Euros and Copa America. To my surprise, they actually do. So club cannot technically hold players back (although we all know that they can apply pressure on players to skip international friendlies, as has happened to many of our players in both sides of the pond before). narduch and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but for friendlies, it’s not like we need 3 keepers other than for absolute emergency, if one wants to stay back because he’d rather play, then I wouldn’t be too upset. Though as someone mentioned, maybe he’s getting called up the same way we called in dieu merci Michel or Adam Pearlman just to practice with the team. Wonder if DSC stays home- could be in a situation where we’re calling in their starting striker and starting keeper and both might not even play. They can’t do anything about it, but maybe we play nice and let them keep their guys this time around.

Stryker911 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I believe this translates to say he was selected for men's squad as well as u20. narduch, johnyb, Kadenge and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Good for him. I wonder what's next for him- he only had a single bench appearance for the reserve team this year (and Bordeaux themselves finished 12th in ligue 2). We must see something in him, unless he's just the 4th keeper in an extended squad in his backyard. Borjans Sweatpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 He has impressed me and I would say he was clearly MOTM tonight with a couple of outstanding saves, he had a really poor pass out early but overall his distribution looks good with his shot stopping ability, if he continues to progress I can see him being in our rather crowded keeper pool!

Kadenge Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Perhaps it wasn't just that he was with Bordeaux for getting the call up to train with the senior team. Canuckia and nolando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had figured that he was called because he was in Bordeaux but ironically he wasn’t even with the team then. If we’re calling McGill as 3rd keeper I’d have no issues with bringing him in his place. I hope he stays with Bordeaux and wins the starting spot. At 19 and on a big club that would be a dream. Incredible city and stadium. Corazon, gator and P-O 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 9 minutes ago, narduch said: I assume this means they won't even be in the 3rd tier now? According to this article, their division is yet to be determined, and apparently it wasn’t even determined if they would’ve played in the third division this season as they had been relegated for financial reasons: https://www.sudouest.fr/sport/football/girondins-de-bordeaux/girondins-de-bordeaux-le-club-va-abandonner-son-statut-professionnel-les-joueurs-seront-liberes-et-le-centre-de-formation-ferme-20685009.php?csnt=190eaa76151 What is happening is that they’re not renewing their professional license, which, since they were already relegated to the 3rd (semi pro) division, doesn’t automatically trigger further relegation, but it does automatically cancel all player contracts. They apparently have to present their budget to the FFF on how they could manage a team in either 3rd or 4th tier, but per the article, it’s incredibly unlikely that they’re approved for insertion into the 3rd tier. It’s a shame that their player contracts got cancelled as I’m sure players like Swiderski and others who could probably be sold for a few hundred thousand could’ve really helped them start to climb out of the hole. Apparently Fenway group was in talks to buy the club but pulled out earlier this week which sounds like is what triggered this. 74 Whitecap, solsous and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borjans Sweatpants Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Well, hopefully that interest in Swiderski manifests into a great opportunity for him. No transfer fee needed, so hopefully lots of interest and he can choose the best spot for him. johnyb, Corazon, Jack1997 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
