Jeremy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I don't understand why some of you are still following him so closely. It's very clear to me he will never play for us, keeping tabs on him will only make his first appearance for the Dutch more painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-collins Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's like we're Marie, Carrie Fisher's character from When Harry Met Sally, dating a married man: Marie: I don't think he's every going to leave her. Sally: I know he's never going to leave her. Marie: You're right, you're right. I know you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Remember Jonathan is their only real signing this year. Mallorca is the team in La Liga that has given playing time to the most new arrival academy players this year, they have four regularly getting minutes who were all in 3rd tier with Mallorca B last year. Which makes their season all the more admirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelocruz@yahoo.com Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 If Jono decides to play Canada how is it possible for Jono to play for Canada when he no longer posses a Canadian passport? Isn't this the same reason Tam cannot play for Canada because he doesn't have a Canadian passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomurphy1 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Tam can't get citizenship he dounced it and was born in Malawi. Judas was born in the Canada and won't have problems getting a passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saviola7 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm pretty sure he was able to get dual-citizenship. i seem to recall marc bircham playing games for canada without ever having set foot on canadian soil. Bircham had a Canadian grandparent. I believe FIFA rules are that you must have either citizenship, be born there, or have your (grand)parents born there. JDG2 was born in Canada, Bircham's grandfather was born in Canada. Tam was born in Mawali, later got citizenship in Canada, was cap-tied and then renounced his citizenship and thus does not qualify under the conditions listed above.

finchster Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Did Jono really have to denounce his Canadian citizenship when he got his Dutch passport? No he didn't, why would he when he lives in Toronto in the off season? Why take such a drastic step when you don't have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdroze Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Excuse my schadenfreude (and apologies for stirring up any who still have delusions that he might someday play for us), but it seems that JDG2 still can't catch a sniff with the Dutch national team. He was not named in either the 23-man squad or as one of the 3 injury replacements for their upcoming Euro 2012 qualifying games. Just putting that out there.

jpg75 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I noticed that Janssen and Robben both pulled out due to injury and was curious to see who would be replacing them. Have the replacements been named? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 ^ Not only that, but of the forwards and midfielders called up (hard to place JDG2 firmly in either of the 2 categories) three are younger than JDG2 while 3 more are only a year older. Frankly I'm a bit surprised he hasn't been called by this point. If there's not more to this story, he should soon be able to read the writing on the wall.

jonovision Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I noticed that Janssen and Robben both pulled out due to injury and was curious to see who would be replacing them. Have the replacements been named? Luuk de Jong (Twente) and Jeremain Lens (PSV). Van Nistelrooy was also called up to replace Huntelaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Jono scores on a free kick, the winner vs. Zaragoza. When Barcelona played in Mallorca a few weeks back his first half was superb, as was the whole team really, then Mallorca dropped off as Barça scored before the break. So if HOlland is at all interested, they should make a move. He is having a very strong year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Jonathan started scoring down the stretch (3 goals in the last month), unfortunately this coincided with his club tanking it and coming 1 point away from relegation! http://soccernet.espn.go.com/team/fixtures/_/league/esp.1/id/84/mallorca?cc=5901 2 points in the last 5 games and 6 points in the last 9 does not cut it, Mallorca are extremely lucky that Depor could not manage a result at home with Valencia or else it would be Mallorca instead of Depor going down.

ThiKu Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 He isn't getting into the Dutch team and needs to move on from that. Maybe he has. I believe however he may not be eligible for Canada any longer due to citizenship? But, I think he'd almost rather not play for Canada, it might appear, despite his brother being a key cog.
