toontownman Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Might get a game or two out of him prior to retirement! Fitness allowing maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in Quebec before though... Think it was mentioned a page or two back. He was closing in on fulfilling requirements and interested but then got moved to NY. Unless he retained residence here he has to start from scratch as you need to meet a certain amount of days residing in Canada over the past 5 years just to apply. Then it could be another year or so to get processed. BCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestseveran Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Time to start focusing on Hagglund. He's close to 5 years signed with TFC. Need centre backs now. hamiltonfan, A_Gagne, deschamp86 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on his youth games with U.S. or does he actually live in the states too? The most likely candidate for me on the Whitecaps would be Mezquida Hurtado is horrible anyhow Edited March 26, 2018 by SpursFlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely should be close to fulfilling requirements. You know we could get him on board and the Whitecaps would trade him the day before! It will be interesting to see how many minutes he gets this year. I could definitely see him getting lost in the shuffle and being moved out by this time next year. Hurtado: Via Nolando (on the last page) I asked him about this point blank a couple years back and he said there's no way he could ever do that when the US was his country. I think very few Csps players have ever done the Point Roberts commute like Manneh did, so I suspect Hurtado has been steadily putting in residence time here, fwiw.

Vince193 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) What about Christian Techera? Mezquida wouldn't be eligible since he's repped Uruguay at an official youth tournament. Edited March 27, 2018 by Vince193 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Where would Lovitz go? LB cover behind Dejong, Adekugbe? Midfield behind a whole bunch of guys?? If he wanted to switch sure, come on down, but I dont think he would get alot of calls. And do any of the american guys on our MLS teams stay year round? I know its more complicated than just playing for CDN team for 5 years. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thought Lovitz had been a bit of revelation so far this year for Montreal at least offensively. Not least because he was picked of the scrap heap. DeJong is advancing in years, although he has really hit a purple patch at the Whitecaps. Is Adekugbe through his injury problems? He would be a decent depth addition if we got him. Still crossing my fingers Levis can get back on track and pick up where he left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, apart from being in the Unity kit picture he's been absent from anything this season. He'll probably get his first appearance, along with Norman, starting in the first leg of the Multi-Level Marketing Cup semi-final against Montreal. And then, maybe a loan to Fresno. Hopefully, my predictions will be wrong. Robbo's new default strategy is to go to Davies as his second choice behind De Jong at LB. And if something were to happen to De Jong over the longer term, than Robbo we'll bring in a Harvey-type MLS vet for cover.

toontownman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 You are probably right, that said he was starting to get minutes and everyone at the club including Robbo was high on him. The killer will be if he has lost some of his pace after the injury, which was his major strength. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt hold out too much hope for Levis getting time there. And it would prob come at the expense of Hayden or Kadem. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bigs up Teibert on a regular basis than benches him after his strong start to the year. toontownman and CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this wasn't just a written or spoken quote, although I am sure he did a few of those too. I had seen in a few places that Levis was actually well thought of at the club among all coaches. I think he would have continued to get more minutes had he not got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears this never crossed his mind. He feels he would be too old by that time (35?)even if it were to happen. Judging by the conversation I don’t think he even considered getting Cdn citizenship and he says he always goes home in the off-season so that in itself would delay the days in country required to be eligible (3yrs out of 5). Oh well. You never know. With Mauro Biello with the CMNT, and if Piatti still plays at his level, in Canada, maybe something could happen but I don’t think it will.

I'de start him over De Jong and Adekugbe right now in a heartbeat. I do think Adekugbe has the most potential though. hamiltonfan, El Hombre, toontownman and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialK Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I don’t know if this the right thread but what about CF Oladapo Afolayan. He signed with west ham U23 team and has played 4 games already. He Played really well in National League ( 5th tier ) 46 games 15 goals and he got noticed. He’s 21 ( Jan 1 1997) and I’m pretty sure he would be age eligible for the Olympic team. He’s family moved from England to Canada and he played for the TFC Academy, then went back to England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince193 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm interested in Hagglund. He's been here a while and would be a solid piece and just seems like an overall good dude. Techera as well but I think that's a couple of years away still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
