Dub Narcotic Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I thought I would start making player threads for all of the new Canadian kids coming into MLS. The story so far: Osorio is a central midfielder developed by the Clarkson-Sheridan club in Mississauga who arranged a loan/trial with Club Nacional in Montevideo, Uruguay. After spending some time on their roster he came back to Ontario and played with SC Toronto in the CSL. This lead to a trial with TFC in the 2013 pre-season which was successful enough for him to be signed to a MLS contract. He also has some Canadian U-20 caps.

Ivanovski94 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not an academy product yet in all the interviews or anything regarding him they're claiming he was a product of the academy. Funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny. He may have spent some time with TFCA at some point. He has played in a lot of places in his young career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not an academy product yet in all the interviews or anything regarding him they're claiming he was a product of the academy. Funny. The club really likes to upsell its Academy. Especially because the hardcore fans eat it up. I'm excited about this signing. Hopefully he gets a fair chance and can prove himself.

RS Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 He's an academy product in the eyes of MLS, because he fulfills the minimum number of training sessions mandated by the league to qualify as a homegrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmateo Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks for clearing that up, I couldn't understand because in his own versions of events he didn't spend much time at TFC. It is too bad he couldn't spend a bit more time with Nacional (whatever the issues were to be worked out) but from the very little I've seen I can see why TFC was interested. I just hope he isn't wasted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I just hope he isn't wasted! As of today he should get a decent shot, at least in the near future. TFC's roster is still wafer thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmateo Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It is more than in the past, while the TFC has been good at giving young players a chance in the starting line-up, the general ****-show around them has been less then helpful for their player development. A player like Plata regressed at TFC, Attakora didn't get better because of his on-field time (though there seems to have been other issues) either. It's just a concern, but I'm hopeful. He looks like a kid who loves the ball at his feet and has confidence - it will be interesting to see when under the lights he can pass the ball to the forwards/striker.

Juby Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 He stands out pretty prominently in the SC Toronto NY Astro's game last year: skip ahead to 1:05 to go straight into the highlights and he answers a couple questions immediately after the second half highlights.
