Nate3322 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I like Hoilett a lot but I'm not sure he's worth a DP slot especially when we could have resigned Piatti. I won't be surprised if he does sign with TFC though. gator, Ivan and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new manager has been playing with wingbacks and not wingers, which doesn't suit Hoilett in my opinion, so that may have something to do with it. 27 minutes ago, Mikmacdo said: KJ said the new DP wont be a surprise. I am thinking it will be Hoilet which would be a letdown. Agreed. Hoilett as a DP a couple of seasons ago would have been fine. Now he would have to be a TAM player in my opinion, but more concerning is that I fear he won't be an Armas type of player. Given his his age and evolution as a player, I don't see Toronto as a best fit under what I expect from Armas. johnyb and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It's going to be difficult for Jnr to get back into the starting lineup. Cardiff is the hottest team in the Championship right now. They have 4 wins in a row and are undefeated in their last 6...very close to a promotion playoff spot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloth8 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I expect we will see Hoilett play in the upcoming WCQ. In the past 13 games since Mick McCarthy took over as manager, Hoilett has: started 1 game (the first one where he was taken off after 50 minutes), missed 4 because of injury, and played 0 minutes off the bench. He clearly doesn't fit into McCarthy's preferred formation, so I don't think Cardiff will miss him. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/unluckiest-players-cardiff-city-fierce-20099171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 JH needs to move on obviously, I thought he played ok for us, you could tell his match fitness was lacking, maybe a move to MLS will be in the cards because I think he still has some playing days ahead of him! BTW Cardiff pulled another massive collapse and this is their last season of parachute instalments, Lg One beckons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always got the impression he would like to come back to NA just because of the time he has spent here in the off season apparently, his days as a potential DP have gone as you say but he has made a boatload of money over the years! I am not sure many Championship teams would be interested in signing him though and as I say clubs like Cardiff who don't have the parachute money anymore are going to struggle under FFP!

Obinna Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I always imagined he'd come to TFC and play under Vanney, who was crying for a winger at the tail end of his tenure, but I am not sure Hoilett fits the mold of what Armas wants, unless you want to bring him in off the bench to finish off games, which I am not convinced will be of interest to Junior at this stage of his career. A move to another Championship team is most likely. Outside of that, perhaps one of Celtic or Rangers could use his services. That would give him a chance at European football as well, something he hasn't experienced. Or if he wants to try something entirely different, maybe he goes to the Turkish Super Lig. It looks like Besiktas will have a hole to fill at left wing, and aging veterans with top flight experience is their jam. costarg, N1ckbr0wn, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) With their draw today Cardiff City are now firmly in the grey zone. Cardiff have 3 matches left but nothing to play for. They cannot be promoted and they cannot be relegated. Despite not fitting into the new coach's system, hopefully Jr Hoilett gets some playing time now that there is nothing on the line. ---- I expect he will either sign a short contract at Middlesbrough in the summer ( and play under coach Warnock once again) or he will return to North America.

Yeah but if he were to come to MLS, he would at least have not only a chance at playing time but I think a chance to at least resurrect or in other words reinvent himself career wise.

VinceA Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Interesting to see how Herdman approaches Junior. A better option for the shop window could be to have him be with the Gold Cup suad than WCQ. Regardless he's barely played in 2021 so I am interested in his role in the summer. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herdman uses him well; he doesn't tend to play him for the 90 minutes. I'm guessing he starts vs Aruba and but doesn't vs Suriname.

Alex Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I could see Hoilett playing in both wcq and the gold cup due to his lack of playing time, especially if he’s without a club for a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
