In fact we should be honey dicking all the fence sitters; send them V's swag, make a banner geared to them and take group shots with it at games, start twitter campaign etc. I thought it would be more funny for us in V's land, than an actual attempt to persuade him.

Nothings funny when you're intentions are 100% serious. Edit: To clarify I think what you said was a joke, the feller after seemed quite serious, but I could be humbly wrong.

And I haven't seen it done. I.E. Someone just had a kid - we should send them a shirt or jersey something. Borjan's getting married - we should send him something in congrats. I'm a man who lives by "E=MC2", and beside theory of relativity I translate it to my day-to-day living. In whatever I do it has to equal to something positive, regardless if it doesn't look right or make quiet sense at the time. Sending a bunch of shit to a current CMNT player, they receive love, and more times then not shows signs of gratitude, and allegiance through their play. Sending shit to a fence sitter, who in the end reps the shit and plays for another country...equals to a waste of shit. Hey it doesnt have to be an either/or prop. is all i'm saying. And no one's stopping you from reaching out to our current players on your own either. Some V's have written or sent stuff ( xmas cards, V's shirts etc.) to players and typically get signed jerseys back in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured as much, but when i saw that hashtag it gave me the idea that maybe a targeted campaign would help. Anyways seems like some people don't like the idea, which is their perogative, i'll see if anyone wants to join me..send me a PM if anyone else is interested.

For what it's worth, he also follows the Italian FA as well. He also follows Drake, perhaps MLSE can put in a word to Drake and send Bryan a message/swag....

These things can take a mental toll though and if there is any small amount of possible fence sitting, the small rejections can build in our favor the more it happens.

Alex1775 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Just an update, seems like Cristante's club futbol career is hitting an all time low, as he hasn't been able to get any minutes as of late at his loan club Palermo . Also, reports indicate that the clubs bench boss no longer sees his potential. Could this mean that a Canada call up is more likely to happen. http://www.calciomio.fr/malaise-bryan-cristante-id-10651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks for the update Alex. Good digging. Might push him closer to us for sure, that said we might have to be concerned how much he nosedives and where he moves next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi44 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Canada cap seemed to help Hoilett's career. Maybe can do the same for Cristante? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It's weird to hope for a career lull, but let's all be serious, he would still be an interesting option to look at for us. Besides, we aren't alone in this regard, take Jermaine Jones as just 1 example off the top of my head. If his career had gone even just slightly better, he wouldn't have all those caps for the US.

To recap his loan to Palermo so far: Jan 10th: Subbed in at the 89th minutehttp://www.legaseriea.it/it/serie-a-tim/match-report/2015-16/UNICO/UNI/19/VERPAL January 17th: Started.

Just about 1 game's worth and nothing in the last two months. Palermo has 7 games left to play in Serie A.
