jpg75 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 If he keeps playing the way he has so far this season we might have to start worrying about an Azzurri call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Impact Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Totera just said something about Cristante on Impact this Week, but I didn't catch all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion26 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Would be great if he does play for us, but I won't make it a bid deal until he says I am playing for Canada... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One American Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 He'd probably be a top 5 player in CONCACAF. Play a five-man mid. Cristante Arfield and Piette in behind. Put Hoilett and the kid on the flanks. One of the three up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Impact Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Found what he said: http://www.tsn.ca/radio/montreal-690/totera-gilardino-won-t-come-for-just-five-games-1.857112 (says it at the end) Cristante is going to be on his show next week.

SpecialK Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Ya that could work, but Hutch doesn't have the legs to run with those speed demons. Davies and Hoilett seem to work well together on the wings, very dangerous. With Cristante, can join the attack and he can drop back play a more a defensive midfielder, he's very versatile and he's great on corners. My personal view, Hutch is better then Piette, but Piette would be great off the bench to replace Hutch. He doesn't need to play a full game anymore.

Ansem Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have to agree. Adding Cristante would gift us one of the best midfield in CONCACAF. (Arfield, Cristante, Piette, Hoilett, Davies, Hutchinson) With rumors of Larin going to Besiktas for much needed polishing and Cavallini keep growing in MExico, the next cycle is looking very promising. Jackson-Hamel off the bench for late game energy!and DRUMS: Liam Miller! At the back adding Cordova, Gutierrez and Ferreira... Anyone else getting excited?

I can't tell if this is sarcasm? Yes, a guy who keeps up with Porto shouldn't have a problem against those sides.. at all. Also, no cristante isn't a top 5 player in concacaf and we aren't embarrassing the USA or Mexico by adding him. Let's keep expectations reasonable.

harrycoyster Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Even considering him for top 5 player in CONCACAF is a joke. He's a player that has been loaned out of Benfica for playing time. Mexico has 5 players starting for Porto or Benfica. Cristante might be top 25. I don't understand the need to instantly compare our players favourably to other players in CONCACAF. The "Davies might be as good as Pulisic" posts during the Gold Cup nearly gave me an aneurysm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
