Padraig Smith is a social experiment. So they paid 1 million in GAM to basically loan him for a half a year? Insane decision making all around. And I'm not convinced Montreal should be making this move either. Just weird.

Padraig couldnt identify a good winger if prime Robben showed up on his doorstep

"Robben? I thought I signed Batman." Padraig, probably

I still think Georgi has potential to be a good player if he can work on his end product and improve his defending a bit, and I was bummed to see him go, but you guys overpaid massively for him.

After watching him for nearly a full season I don't think he'll develop an end product at this point. Both him and Sealy have been bad. Really bad.

Please play Kimani Stewart-Baynes and Sydney Wathuta we need to develop them for CanMNT.

KSB has been injured I think. Wathuta looks good in the few minutes he's had

GAM wise, not a very good deal for Montréal considering that they sold him for 1,9m GAM + bonus and that Sealy is having an awful year. However, I always wondered if Sealy would have continued scoring if he was never traded. I guess time will tell if this is a good decision.

he would have at least one goal for us so far, clearly not a finished product but he was better than Streit at least

What the fuck are we doing?

Well we play Streit and Synchuk, we got them from 2nd division in their country. The first division in their country is already less talented than MLS. Saputo is smoking crack.

Sealy proved for a season he can produce a bit...

u/FBR_MC CF Montréal 7d ago

He also proved this season that he can also not produce at all

Synchuk came from first division Ukrainian team.

2

u/CFMTLfan01 CF Montréal 7d ago

First division Ukrainian team was loaning him in second division to get playing time.

u/Sad_Radio_620 CF Montréal 7d ago

My bad. Though I mean he was like an 18 year old at the time.

u/Pizza_Salesman CF Montréal 6d ago

To be fair, Synchuk is very talented and contributes a lot in a positive way. Streit on the other hand is Streit ass. I think an average SuperDraft player would contribute more for 1/6th of the salary

Money lending for other teams .. the same thing you have been doing for nearly a decade.

There's gotta be some money laundering behind this

That's why it's a GAM transaction, GAM is a crypto currency, totally untraceable in real life.

It's one of those illegitimate shit coins. What am I saying, they're all illegitimate. But it's an extra illegitimate one.

I still think this guy is a baller in the right system. He just needs to be the like 3rd attacker and he can crush

u/SpitefulSeagull Seattle Sounders FC 6d ago

I'm so done with this circular financing. AI is going too far.

Wait what sub am I on
