League stability could be one thing. Knowledge of the playing level going in could be another. Better access to MLS scouting (aspiring to jump to that level someday soon) could be another.

Awesome! That guy was one fantastic player. I mean, really fantastic.

1. Borjan ... ... 2. S. Thomas (based on experience only; position tenuous) 3. Leutwiler (based on experience only; position tenuous) 4. Busti (rising fast) 5. Crepeau (rising but not as fast a Busti)

I just checked and, according to Transfermarkt, James has played CB for Fredericia's first two league matches, so maybe his DM days are behind him. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manjrekar-james/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/222686/saison/2018/wettbewerb/DK2/verein/5776

jpg75 has a soul? ?

Personally, I'm on board with Henry being a starting CB for us in the Fall. The trick to me is finding a partner that will compliment his skills and cover for his weaknesses. Unfortunately, I have no idea who that could be.

That, he was. Great of you to point that out. Cheers!

Neither of these players strike me as "leader" or "captain" material but I do agree with you that they need to step up as key contributors to the program going forward. Both are very talented players, heading into their prime years, seemingly well suited to playing in Latin America, which is something that we struggle with so much.

Awesome! Personally, I hope he stays at Ottawa until he can eventually find a starting gig at a higher level. I think he is too young to sit as a backup in Montreal next season.

But I still can't get "Edson" out of my head. ?

I just hope that Tabla remembers and appreciates that it was his time in Canada that give him the opportunity that he got from Barca.

Interesting - did not know that (hence my original post). Cheers!

To be honest, I'm not entirely certain how these transfer windows work and assumed (incorrectly, it appears) that once a country's window closes, players (under contract) cannot be transferred in or out of that country. Are you saying that the dates only limit movement into a country but not out?

DC United updated their (official) pre-season roster yesterday and Tissot is still listed as a "trialist", so no contract has been finalized yet. Still, good to see him continuing with the team though. http://www.dcunited.com/post/2017/02/13/united-announce-updated-preseason-roster?utm_source=Social&utm_medium=Twitter

While it's not a depth chart per se, the CMNT Wikipedia page (which list players involved over the past 12 months) is kept up-to-date quite well and can be sorted by (general) position, age or caps received. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_men's_national_soccer_team#Current_squad
