Either way, if he stays in Uruguay the season starts February 4th. Bring him to Camp Poutine! He can still do at least a week and a half of preseaon training in Uruguay after that.

Hopefully we see him in the mix soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazlo_80 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Especially if this is his first training camp with a new team that he really needs to impress. This kid is still young and this national team camp is relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he play in that Ghana friendly like a little over a year ago? It's not like hes been gone for a decade. I just assumed Floro didn't rate him.

Bertuzzi44 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If he is making the switch to Penarol (a big club) then wish him the best and let him try to establish himself. Now is not the time for ultimatums. Plus, our next competitive match isn't until the summer... baulderdash77 and Addona 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Obviously I don't know him personally, so this is just speculation but.... my impression of Cavallini is that he is a glory hunter. That he wants to be part of something big and important. That is more important than representing his country (for him). Perhaps that is why he turned down past invites to focus on his club football. Can't have those little pesky Canada camps get in the way of his rise to the top, right? Now, if he was to move up a level and actually cement himself as an important player at say Quito or Penarol, is that actually good for us? Does he look in the mirror and say "now THIS is my level - I finally made it...now let me accept a call and show the CSA what a real striker looks like"? Or, does he say to himself "now I NEED more - I need to play for a Boca or River Plate or play in La Liga / Serie A - CanMNT is just a distraction right now". Again, this is all fictitious speculation. I have no idea where his head is at but it's fun to think about. He is such an enigma.

dyslexic nam Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Maybe I am in a generous (ie. less petty) mood, but I am not worried about this guy. He is honing his craft, and has the potential to be a striker that would be above average for us. He is cap-tied to us, so if he gets the itch for international footy, he can earn a spot on our team. And if not, fuck him. No biggie either way IMO. I am not an advocate of closing the door on him forever. But no groveling. He will only ever be as motivated to play for us as he chooses to be. The main thing is that he is firmly cap-tied to Canada, so it comes down to a yes or no question for him. And if the answer is "yes" at some point, he can come back and prove his worth. He certainly isn't killing it so hard that we need to fall all over ourselves to win him back. Ivan, shamrock, Club Linesman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reporter exagerrating would be the only likely excuse. That said, it doesn't matter to me as long as he wants to play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The point is that signing for Peñarol now, at this stage, is huge, it is as big as going to mid-level Argentina. He is now in the spotlight. Many of his fellow players will be internationals now, he can stay training with the u-19s and subs when they are called away on a Fifa date, or decide on travelling himself for Canada. His choice. Another thing, given how dominant Nacional and Peñarol are (similar to Rangers and Celtic in Scotland), he is going to get more scoring chances, will likely increase his numbers. That said, Peñarol came third to last in the 16 team table this last season (fall), so they are seriously underperforming. Just to get a picture, here is what rsssf says about league winners in Uruguay (three of Danubio's titles are from this century however): 39 Peñarol 35 Nacional 4 Danubio Defensor Sporting (includes Defensor) 1 Bella Vista Central Español Progreso NB: all teams are from Montevideo dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
