Maxime Chanot [Defender]

[EganSoccerWords]

I like chanot don't get me wrong, but I don't like that, in a good year, we lose him for 2-4 games a season for the pisspot Luxembourg team ( or more if he picks up an injury, case in point). I'm sorry if he/others are offended by my stance on his national team but I don't care about a historic 0-0 tie with france if it means we are losing our #1 defender. This is a capped league and we spend a good chunk of our budget on him, so when he is out our depth gets hamstrung. He isn't a flashy name or on a flashy NT, so I don't see his value for the marketing of our team/league. My only guess is these demerits I mention reduce his price making him attractive talent/$ for our team assuming he stays healthy. And if that is true, it means he is taking a pay cut being here, and I absolutely wouldn't fault him for wanting to get out to grab as many dollars as he can. Soccer careers can be short so he needs shoot for max contracts. So for me this plays out fine if we keep him on current salary or he gets sold for big bucks. I am ok being a stepping stone club for player trying to get attention if we are getting a good deal on the salary for a couple years or make a big payout on their sale. Rinse and repeat for that sweet sweet GAM and pull away from the rest of the league. But for future players I really would like to avoid international team players. Go for unrecognized talent from the big NTs where the player has a small chance to be called up.

He is taking a pay cut already. His wife works in NYC. Guy should be making 700k.

This. My thought is these "rumors" could be from his agent to posture to get a nice little raise with NYC

 

[LostAnvil]

That. But check out his Tweet. It's 80% spiritual, religious retweets.

naw, I know - just love that picture

Just bumped into Chanot an hour ago. Looks fit to me. Says he feels good and is excited for the playoffs.

Villa. Maxi. Harrison. Chanot. Vieira. All have the same facial hair.

Captain Villa.

He dresses the exact way I'd expect.

That's how I was sure. It's not the easiest to approach even though I was 95% convinced. The Rolex and sharp outfit did it for me.

This guy is just cool. He's true to himself. Probably my favorite player on our roster.

He became one of my favorites when I saw him in the behind the scene videos. I like how he always yells "Come on guys!" To hype up the team before they walk on to the pitch. Also he likes Dragonball Z which makes him cool.

Callens is the one that likes DBZ.

I know I've been eh on the Athletic, but a little light on Chanot's mid season mindset.

Says it was a family matter, forcing him to go back to France/Luxembourg. Unfortunately it doesn't say exactly what it was, but must've been bad to throw him off form for a month or two. Glad to see things seem to be better for him, as he has been much better than those few games I presume he tried to play through.

All the best, Chanot.

Arias is doing solid work there.

Did Araos also get the same scoop about Vieira. That is was a personal matter and the reason Vieira told him wouldn't make him question that it wasn't...

Then Vieira went to Nice.

That wasn't a scoop, Vieira said that to him at training that day.

That isn't a scoop. What's a scoop then?

A scoop is something you get on your own -- when the coach says something in his press conference but asks that it remain off the record, that's not a scoop.

Chanot has been solid overall but I'm glad that they cut ties with this player before he gets himself severely concussed.
