There’s a lot going on at Montreal CF, and as the summer mercato draws to a close… the Montreal club has traded Caden Clark to D.C. United. Maxime Truman shared the information on Twitter, as he did just last week for the Jules-Anthony Vilsaint trade (who went to Toronto).

It wouldn’t be surprising to see Clark sign a new contract with his new team. He was one of the promising young players in town… but Montreal CF is starting a rebuild and there was interest in Clark’s services in MLS.

Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire were also in the running for Clark’s services, according to Maxime Truman [content-ads] CF Montréal had several forwards and it’s “normal” to see one of them being traded.

That said, some may wonder why a guy like Bryce Duke or Sunusi Ibrahim couldn’t have been sacrificed in place of Clark… and there’s an explanation for that.There was interest in Caden Clark, unlike Duke and Ibrahim . Speaking of Sunusi, it’s pertinent to know that seeing his contract (depending on what you hear) could be bought out at some point. And while we’re on the subject of the summer mercato – it’s worth noting that at least one quality player could join the Montreal CF squad before the mercato closes. That could help… given that the Montreal CF currently finds itself in 14th place in its conference (out of 15) with a record of four wins, 15 losses and eight draws. In closing, let’s remember that there are links to be made with the Montreal CF and the Montreal Canadiens. The Montreal CF is rebuilding after seeing the Canadiens do the same… and after seeing the results of the Habs’ successes last season. Here’s hoping the Montreal CF rebuild is as exciting as the Canadiens’…[spacer title=’Overtime’] – After Clark, Joel Waterman?

– Um…

– Oh yeah?
