Unnamed Trialist Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Good signing, agreed. I was surprised to see he left Caps in 2017, thought it was even longer ago than that. Before seeing Manneh "announced" I wondered if Victor Blasco might go back to CPL, he too was with Merriman. Because he's still playing lower tier in Spain, on Issey's team, he played this weekend (I saw them about 6 weeks ago). He told me he was going back to Cambodia for the league starting in May, but Haber has been back for over a month and Blasco has not returned yet, which seems odd, they are in the same league.

toontownman Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Wow. I know we are getting a completely different Manneh to when he was last I'm Canada but this is huge. Pacific were stacked as they were. Did someone get injured? They still needed another CB and backup LB with the last two roster spots. I guess a LCB might cover both?

Big_M Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Could be a huge signing and not that old turning 29 but question is how much he has left...hasnt played an official match in 1.5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace to burn back in the day. Haven't seen or heard anything of him for a while, so I don't know if he is still as fast, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him causing opposition defenders trouble.

I remember when he scored the youngest ever MLS hat trick when he was 18 against the Sounders no less. Soul crushing pace! As others have said he's obviously not the same player now but great signing nonetheless. Let's goooo!!! NVsoccer and Aird25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Having (loosely) followed him since his departure from the Whitecaps: there's a reason he's bounced around so much in such a short time and is now leaving his home state (and basically home city) for Pacific. I just don't think he has anything left, even at only 29. Guess we'll see. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s gone from within the stadium (across the road) unless they had to put it back up for some exceedingly expensive reason. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Petrillo, Wheeler, Ollie, they get their butts out of the studio and travel around to see CPL stadiums in the pre-season. I find this parochialism a bit irritating at times.

Maybe she was referring to a new, higher platform for the camera not being ready? Sounded like she was specifically talking about the pole though. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the Telus logo. If anyone wants it, I'm not into getting more Pacific gear now VFC is here, but I'd be glad to deliver it at cost in Victoria in July. 82€.
