He has the quality to play euro first division, so many players stay in England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain's 2/3/4th tiers that they get lost in the mix and often stuck. In a lot of cases; because the goal is to play in the top pro your point, in those 7 starts he showed well Junkie and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a euro first division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austria or Switzerland would be good choices as well. Holland or Belgium would perhaps be a step too far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where he goes depends a lot where his agent has connections. Acoording tp transfermrkt he is with a German agency whose players are mostly in the German leagues.

Kadenge Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Canuks Abroad are reporting that he has signed with FC Ingolstadt in B3. They were relegated from B2 at the end of this season. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Not a bad spot for him to end up. I believe they were in the Bundesliga earlier this decade. If he can play a significant role in helping them gain promotion into the 2. Bundesliga, it could brighten his prospects even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
to70 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The signing is reported on the Club's website.

shamrock Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Lateral move but still happy for him. It took ages for he got some starts at Würzburg, hope he gets a bigger role in Ingolstadt and that they can compete for promotion.

Obinna Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Apparently the older brother of Joel Matip is the captain of this side. He's a 3-time capped Cameroon international. Other internationals in the side include Center back Mergim Marvraj (Albania), Forward Dario Lezcano (Paraguay), and Israeli defensive midfielder Almog Cohen. Not sure if any of these players will depart as a result of the relegation. Lezcano hasn't been called up to Paraguay since 2017, but he has 4 goals in 13 games for them internationally, so I assume he's a pretty good player and at 28 he may depart for greener pastures than the German 3rd division. Perhaps bringing in Elva is a way to fill in the gap in the event that happens, just speculating. Ali Gerba also briefly played for this club by the way, scoring 11 goals in 10 league games.

shamrock Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I think we need to captie. He looks in form playing at the top team in the 3. Liga. Elva's been clear he wants to rep Canada, but we don't know how much patience he has and I'm sure St Lucia would love to have him in their fold. Imagine a promotion for Ingolstadt (which at this point seems reasonable), he'd be playing 2. Bundesliga next year which means an automatic call for the nats. Would be a shame if at that point we missed out. apbsmith, ray, Obinna and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reign Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Much like Telfer, he has immense competition at his position. Although I would have no problem with him getting a cap. We need to start playing friendlies ! apbsmith and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) He has started the season well. He has played two games, scoring 1 goal (as far as I know). I think he's a dark horse for a call next month. Like others have mentioned, there is a lot of options in attack. I don't think we can afford to make wholesale changes, but we may want to bring in a couple of fresh faces. So maybe Elva, and/or maybe Borges. Layera and Cordova should get a look, at least 1 of those two anyways. Akindele for sure should be getting a call. Perhaps a third keeper like Carducci gets brought in at the expense of Leutwiler. And with Hutchinson and Piette possibly out and Eustaquio not ready, maybe the younger Adekugbe sneaks in. I wouldn't introduce more than 5 or 6 new player's though. Consistency is important.

I mean he started Godinho in our most important game in over a year, who is now a 3 Liga player. Even at the time he was a Scottish Prem player that was getting no minutes. 3 Liga wouldn’t be that far fetched, and if he won’t call up players from 3 Liga we won’t be seeing a CPL call anytime soon.

shamrock Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yeah I think a lot of Scottish Premier league sides would struggle in D3 Germany. Aside from Rangers, Celtic and maybe a couple of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
