MONTREAL - The Montreal Impacts rebuilding program took more steps Tuesday with the arrival in camp of Belgian defender Laurent Ciman and a major trade with the New York Red Bulls.The Impact sent popular midfielder Felipe to the Red Bulls for left back Ambroise Oyongo and veteran midfielder Eric Alexander.The trade completes a near-total remake of the back line for a team that allowed 58 goals last season, third worst in Major League Soccer. We feel its in our favour, that we improved the squad, Adam Braz said after his first deal since he was named the Impacts technical director on Nov. 24. They wanted Felipe and they gave up a lot to get him.The Impact should begin the campaign with a back line of returning Frenchman Hassoun Camara at right back, Ciman and newcomer Bakery Soumare in the middle and Cameroon international Oyongo on the left side.The whole back line speaks French now, so theres no reason they cant communicate with each other, quipped coach Frank Klopas.Later Tuesday, Montreal acquired Ghanaian winger/forward Dominic Oduro from Toronto FC in return for allocation money.Montreal also got allocation money and an international roster spot in the New York deal while the Red Bulls got the top spot in the allocation order, which may be the key to the deal. It gives the team who holds it first dibs on any U.S. national team player who wants to return to MLS from an overseas league.The league website mlssoccer.com reported New York may be interested in midfielder Sasha Kljestan, currently playing for Anderlecht in Belgium. Kljestan was once a teammate of Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch.It was Marsch who brought Felipe to Montreal for its expansion season in 2012. The 24-year-old became a workhorse for the Impact, scoring 12 goals and adding 24 assists in 93 games over three campaigns.There was speculation Felipe may be traded because of a glut of attacking midfielders. There was also concern from some that he had not progressed since his rookie year, which made the Brazilian bristle.You check my statistics: the past two years I did almost the same from my first year, said Felipe. Which player played more minutes than me? (none). Which player had more passes than me? Who creates more than me?Even birds can talk but, in the end, its what you did (that counts). Im leaving with my head up because I know I did everything I could for this club.Left back was a revolving door for Montreal after Jeb Brovsky was traded early last season and the Impact hope to have fixed that with Oyongo, backed up by former Chivas USA back Donny Toia. Oyongo is currently playing in the African Cup of Nations, where he scored against Mali on Jan. 20.Hes a tremendous young talent, attack minded, a lot of pace and technical ability, Klopas said of 23-year-old Oyongo, who played 13 games as a rookie for New York last season. He gets forward.Thats the kind of player we were looking for on that side with the way we want to play.Some European clubs have shown interest in Oyongo, so he may draw a tidy transfer fee sometime in the future, Klopas added.The surprise was landing Alexander, a 26-year-old American who started 60 of 68 games over the last two seasons, scoring six goals.In Montreal, he will compete for playing time with designated player Ignacio Piatti, Andres Romero, Justin Mapp and Dilly Duka. His versatility will come in handy, said Braz.Alexander has played out wide and in the middle for New York, he said. He was an important piece of the puzzle for them. Hes got experience and hes at a good age.Alexander, who has played twice for the U.S. national team, is expected to fly in from the Red Bulls camp in Orlando, Fla. on Wednesday.The Impact had already beefed up the holding midfield positions with the addition of veterans Nigel Reo Coker and Marco Donadel.Returnee Jack McInerney was the clubs lone experienced forward before the Oduro trade. The deals overshadowed the arrival of Ciman, who scored a rare goal in his final game for Belgian club Standard Liege on Sunday.The 29-year-old got a free transfer from Standard so he could play in North America and get specialized treatment for his autistic four-year-old daughter that was not available in Belgium.The Impact were able to work out a deal in which Ciman does not use up one of the three spots per team allowed for designated players.Certain things fell into place at the right time, said Braz. Were lucky, but excited to be able to bring a player of his calibre to the club. Michael Strahan Jersey .

This one resulted in a 25-24 loss at Jacksonville that turned out to be the Jaguars biggest come-from-behind victory in franchise history.The Jaguars (2-10) ended a four-game losing streak and dealt the Giants (3-9) a seventh consecutive loss that could raise more questions about the future of New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin.Its a loss that we feel we should have won, Coughlin said. Weve done this too many times. We just helped somebody beat us. Instead of forcing them to beat us, we helped them. ... Im upset with everything. And Im upset with me. I start with me.The Giants dominated the first half, scoring 21 points in the second quarter and looking like they would notch their first victory since early October.But Jacksonville and New York played like different teams after the break.Linebacker Geno Hayes forced Eli Manning to fumble early in the third, and teammate J.T. Thomas recovered in the end zone. The Jaguars forced another turnover in the fourth when rookie cornerback Aaron Colvin returned Larry Donnells fumble 41 yards for a score and a 22-21 lead.We have to find a way to finish games and get wins, Giants linebacker Devon Kennard said. Its not like we dont have a talented group and not hungry for a win. There are close games coming down to the last drive and we are just not finishing. We have to find a way to finish games and get wins.Its been a recurring theme for the Giants this season.They were tied at 17 heading into the fourth quarter at Seattle three weeks ago before losing by 21. They trailed 16-10 late in the fourth the following week against San Francisco and had first-and-goal at the 4-yard line before Manning threw an interception in the end zone.ddddddddddddLast weeks loss was equally tough to swallow. The Giants went ahead 28-24 with three minutes remaining, but then allowed an 80-yard touchdown drive.Coughlin challenged his players to start closing out games.They responded with another late-game meltdown.Were going to stay together no matter what, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said. Its a very tough loss. We made big mistakes that cost us. Were going to finish this season strong.Injuries were a factor in the latest loss.Right tackle Geoff Schwartz, playing in place of starter Justin Pugh, injured his left ankle and left on a cart. His replacement, James Brewer, also left the game with a concussion. Running back Rashad Jennings sat out most of the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. The Giants managed just 75 yards in the second half.Linebacker Terrell Manning (ankle) and defensive end Robert Ayers (pectoral) also left the game.Despite their absences, the Giants allowed just 258 yards and recorded a season-high seven sacks.But the defence failed to make a stop when it counted. Blake Bortles drove the Jags 55 yards to set up Josh Scobees 43-yard game winner. Bortles completed four passes and hurt New York with identical keepers for 11 and 20 yards.The Giants had one final chance to win, but Manning fumbled on first down.Its frustrating and I dont know an English word to explain the way we feel, said Jennings, who ran 26 times for 91 yards. We have too much talent on this team so we should be held to a higher standard. We came out in the second half and we were just flat, and thats not us.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
