TennZip Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 http://www.midwestprocombine.com/players/ Looks like Brad Ruhaak will be at the inaugural Midwest pro soccer combine on Dec. 19-20....working hard to make a good impression to start his pro career. The MLS soccer combine is scheduled for Jan. 7-12 in Los Angeles. MLS super draft is Jan. 13 also in Los Angeles. I don't know if Adam will be at the draft/combine as I don't know if he is still considered NYRB homegrown. I would think that Adam Najem. Victor Souto, Brad Ruhaak, and Danilo Radjen all deserve an invite to the MLS combine if the 4 of them are interested in pursuing a career in MLS. Thank you to all 4 "zips forever" mentioned above for everything that they did for the University of akron and zips soccer and good luck to all 4 if they choose to pursue a pro career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor - Wil Trapp is a homegrown; why is he not listed under that heading for CrewSC? Major - Chad Barson is out of contract with CrewSC. If they have no intention of signing him, he should not be protected just for being a homegrown; MLS should not be allowed to completely control players like this. My understanding is that CrewSC still owns Ben Speas' MLS rights. So, even though Ben played for Minnesota in 2016, they would have to make a deal with CrewSC for Ben to play for them in the MLS in 2017.

No reason for HG's to participate in the Combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way to control players' freedom, even before they join the league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) OH, DARLINGCeltic’s move for Portland Timbers star Darlington Nagbe could cause USA rift ...If ten-times capped Nagbe signed at the start of next month, he would be whisked off to Celtic‘s winter training camp in the United Arab Emirates. But if he insisted on attending Arena’s US camp, he could feature in the Scottish Cup tie against Albion Rovers and the league clash v St Johnstone, but could miss up to three games against Hearts, Aberdeen and another game with St Johnstone. However, Celtic could put their foot down and not allow Nagbe to leave for the camp because the games aren’t on FIFA dates.
