Re: Re: Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread) Actually I don't think too many people have made a joke about his name.... not yet at least
Re: Re: Re: Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread) Orville Reynolds who publishes It's Called Futbol thought it was a prank call when someone phoned him to say there was a kid going over to England by that name. Turns out the Dutch Davids is OR's favourite player. Eventually got in contact with David Edgar's father and found it really was a story.
Edgar Davids is steeped in Canadian lore. Didn't he laugh at DeRo in Juventus? Plus the fans in Plymouth sing, "who the f*#$ is Edgar Davids? we've got Jason Bent! Bent! Bent!" For the record David Edgar and Edgar Davids look absolutely nothing alike I heard Tony was looking for work in Brazil. It's not quite like he's playing somewhere and we don't know where. Rather I think he's trying to get a trial somewhere and hasn't yet. He's really hard to get tabs on, there's god knows how many Tonys in Brazil (when he started with America, there were three different teams called America and two of them had Tonys.) and getting info on the Chinese league isn't any easier. Did Sita-Taty Matondo not go to GAK? cheers, hobbes
Hasn't signed anywhere. I would expect the Impact to snatch him up if he's not picked up before the season. BTW, the Impact will unveil new signings (possibly Chris Williams among others) tomorrow.
Not sure what happened with GAK, but he played yesterday with the Canadian U20s against the University of Washington.
Keeper with San Jose Before everybody gets their n*ts in a knot over at the Voyageurs board, the young keeper with San Jose just recently played with the USA U23s in December against us, so I doubt very much he is inclined to discover his Cdn roots (if he has any). I doubt that he has been officially capped as yet but he is part of the US National Team set up. And Matondo's trial was unsuccessful at GAK.
Basi Seminara, 14 Gianluca Saggese, 16 Are both in Italy playing for the youth team of Salernitana. And there is Julian Uccello at Bolton.
Mother of all Canadian's abroad (thread) Has Julian signed in any way with Bolton? Last I had heard (from SoccerCentral) he was connected in some way with Man United.
Pat Onstad has left Rochester (A-League) and signed a multi-year contract with San Jose of the MLS. "SAN JOSE, CA (March 13, 2003) - The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that the team has signed veteran Canadian National Team goalkeeper Pat Onstad to a multi-year contract." http://www.sjearthquakes.com/press_box/031303release.htm
It appears Rocco Placentino is on trial with Italian club Avellino (Serie C). However, he is still under contract with the Montreal Impact. http://www.impactsoccer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197
Three more players on trial in Norway (thanks to Winnipeg Fury for finding the info)... Matondo, and Roberto De Faveri are both on trial with second division club (actual third division?) Kvik Halden. Not sure who Roberto De Faveri is... Carl Fletcher is currently on trial with Bryne. I for one would love to see Fletcher get another shot with a European club, he deserves it.
18 year-old Kevin Harmse has signed with Tromso IL of the premier division in Norway. http://www.til.no/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleID=733 I think there are now around 9 or 10 Canadian players in Norway and Sweden....
Srdjan Djekanovic has yet to play a game with Obrenovac in the Serbian-Montenegro first division. I suppose he might be on one of the youth teams or reserve squad. Apparently he also played with Zmaj Beograd this year, or perhaps he is on loan with Zmaj. http://members.tripod.com/~dekisa/obrenovac/djekanovic.htm
Kevin de Serpa is no longer with Real Aviles. He played in two games with the club and scored one goal.
David Edgar (age 15) made his debut yesterday with the Newcastle reserves. He came on in the 54th minute.... Newcastle tied the Bradford reserves 1-1. http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/message?forumid=4693&messageid=1050058608
According to a post on the Voyageurs... Carmello Rago is with Puerto Montt in the Chilean first division. However, he has spent most of his time with the reserves. http://www.deportespuertomontt.cl/equipo/equipo.html
