Tarrius Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Was just on twitter and noticed that Nick Dasovic tweeted this guy about the U20 team. From the time I've lurked around these forums, I don't think anyone here has ever talked about him. It's also important to note that he's currently with the Arsenal youth system and by reading his bio here: http://www.arsenal.com/reserves-youth/players/jeffrey-monakana, it seems like he is an important player for the Arsenal youth sides. Jeffrey's twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/JeffreyMonakana Just thought I'd bring it to the attention of everyone here if we haven't already talked about him.

Keegan Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Well that's embarrassing for Nick. This kid is from North London not Edmonton, Alberta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 According to the Arsenal website he's born in Edmonton...(apparently I should read the OP as the link is in there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theaub Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Probably should've put those two together In which case that's pretty funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grigorio Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 jeez that looks so unprofessional. one would think there'd be some sort of social media policy or training. The head couch of our U20 team looks to be pestering a player with public tweets over and over to get in touch and is posting his email all over Twitter... Maybe someone should mention there are direct messages in Twitter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Oh wow that's embarrassing. Why does he need to tweet at him 5 times in 2 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Oh wow that's embarrassing Yup. has somebody tweeted or contacted Nick Dasovic? Maybe a V with twitter should let him know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Can only send DM on twitter if both are following each other. Someone tell Nick to knock it off and have CSA contact Arsenal directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the CSA contact Arsenal? The kid isn't Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoatsforever Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yup. has somebody tweeted or contacted Nick Dasovic? Maybe a V with twitter should let him know... Just tweeted Daso. Hope he actually reads it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Actually I tweeted him as well. @MSerson - did you even read this thread before you posted? (ps-the kid stated on twitter he is from Edmonton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshieScores Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Monakana's response was hilarious, after Nick wanted to touch base with him. @NDaso4 huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Kind of sadly reassuring that the slightly delusional trait common amongst the most rabid of Canadian soccer supporters is also shared by members of the coaching staff. I wonder if Nic had him written into the starting lineup for Brasil alongside Junior and Jono. :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wow, is this all really true? Man. I am one truly embarrassed wannabe Voyageur for reading this whole thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugerKing Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Seems to me this isn't the first time this has happened, in terms of people getting the two Edmonton's confused. Good on Dasovic for thinking outside the box. No harm in tweeting the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah this happened a few years back with two kids in the West Ham system, one of them being this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96mer_R%C4%B1za . Although that time no Nats coaches harassed them. Probably just us fans that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wasn't there a Spurs player from Edmonton (England) a year or two ago that someone mistook for being Canadian? Mwatani or something african sounding like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wasn't there a Spurs player from Edmonton (England) a year or two ago that someone mistook for being Canadian? Mwatani or something african sounding like that... Yes, I made that mistake can't remember which club it was but FM had him listed as Canadian and it was definitely an African sounding name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bob Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I am willing to bet real money this isn't the first time a national team coach has made this mistake; it's just the first time one has made it in public. It's a really easy mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
