2011 - Montreal Impact - 2012 MLS Entry Season Thread

[DuRoux]

For lack of times I couldn't follow much of the news around the Impact entry in MLS.

Anyone could write a small round-up of the team pre-superdraft?

Thanks

Is there a stream at noon (RDS or TSN2)?

You're 100% right. Plus even if Ching plays, its not like he has another 5 years in him. he might play one more year and than what?

I think Mattocks is the flashier pick, but I am afraid he will bolt for Europe after his 3 year Generation Adidas contract comes to an end.

I finally managed to see some clips of Wenger, and the guy is just good naturally. Even some goals from him, and he seems to have a nice curl on the ball. Good skills. He's not even a forward, but filled in last year at Duke and still scored 18 goals.

In the end I guess we'll see where they go, but you can't go wrong with either of these players I'm sure. I actually also really like Chandler Hoffman who's another striker, but he should be gone in the top 5.

wat.

[FrankMTL]

Wenger, wow, very surprised, but a good pick

[Drizzy]

Very smart pick IMO, good job Impact.

[MooseOllini]

Super happy!!!!!!!

Leduc said he's also longtime friend with Z.Valentin! That's awesome. 2 young soon to be studs on D buddies!

[Turtleneck Plek]

Great pick.

Wenger is going to make our defence much stronger and should be a very important piece of the team moving forward, and perhaps a safer pick than Mattocks who already garnered some interest in Europe.

Welcome to Montreal Andrew!

Mattocks goes to Vancouver

Bah. I would have preferred Mattocks to be honest. Our defense will be absolutely brutal next season, but now getting a DP striker is not a luxury anymore, it's a must!
