But hasn't played for them so far. After that he would have to go to Jong Heerenveen (u23) and if he does well there, he might get a chance under Foppe de Haan. I think they have brought him in as a long term project, he'll get time o get used to his new environment and the different game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Borges is listed on the U19 roster: http://www.sc-heerenveen.nl/voetbal/jeugdteams/a-junioren?lang=2 He is listed as being "Portuguese", which i assume means he has a Portuguese passport and likely why he was able to sign before his 18th bday.

He's listed as Portuguese born. Geboorteland means country of birth (which is Portugal). You're right that Heerenveen could pick him up early because he has a Portuguese passport. I think in all further communications Heerenveen called him Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is definitely training with the first team, but it doesn't look like he's there on a permanent basis yet. Also can we talk about how unfortunate a name his teammate Jizz Hornkamp has? Yikes.

TFC2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Tristan actually comes from my area and I know him well. Huge drive to become the best. He's been training with the 1st team but will most likely be with the U21's unless he really impressed this preseason.

shamrock Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 He's in a good place. He still has a couple of years his contract and if for some reason he does't cut it at Heerenveen he more than likely get some opportunity at a lower playing club, just like for instance Wil Johnson did.

You think if we had a game scheduled for the November window in which he played but then he received a call up to a Portuguese youth team there's a greater chance he wouldn't accept? Come on. This knee jerk reaction to always blame the CSA when someone mentions dual nationalities is ridiculous. This kid is 19 and still playing youth football. There's no indication he's considering or even on the radar of Portugal. We'll presumably have a camp in January in which if OZ deems him worthy, he'll get a call. If this kid was such an amazing prospect and there were worries about loosing him why didn't OZ call him in September? Do you not trust OZ's judgement? shermanator, jpg75, shamrock and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzAndSting Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I would love to see a list of all the players people thought we should "CAP TIE HIM RIGHT NOW!" and see where they are today. Grizzly and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Crazy thought, but what if we waited until Borges played an actual professional game before we start making calls to cap tie? Having said that, glad to hear Borges is having success with Heerenveen, but now he needs to make the move to the professional game.

Bison44 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 At least this shows us that OZ is keeping on top of youngsters in Europe. Funny how we go from a couple posts about a kid every few months to blaming the CSA for not getting him into camp/friendlies. If we had called Crisante, Ferrieira, Eustaquio, Borges and all the other guys that look good in hindsite we would have had 60 guys in the last camp.

Club Linesman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 At each camp though there should be a couple of youngsters to expose them to the set up and to say that we have real interest in your development and ability. We don't need to see our top guys at each camp if it will negatively impact their club situation, and we don't need to see the same mediocre players time and time again because we know what they can do ie Straith, Ledgerwood types. Call in players like Eustaquio and Borges. Oz did that with some of the younger South American players and hopefully will do this in the future to further develop the pool and commit some of the younger dual nationals to Les Rouges. yothat, johnyb and SpecialK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) So a twitter post linking to another twitter post? Why not post the link to the article? http://www.voetbalnieuws.be/news/264781/vn-exclusief-heerenveenspeler-borges-geniet-belgische-interesse Then we could have also learned that Borges has been playing as a#10 and LB (Zwolle are looking for a LB) and has been training with the first team. Gent is also interested and currently have our U17 star Johnny David of Ottawa training with them (call him their pearl).

Kadenge Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hope he stays playing as a #10 wherever he goes, as we have left back options. Watched him play for the U17 and U20s in Concacaf WC qualifying. He scored a real gem against Costa Rica for the U17s. Very talented player and great 1 on 1. Looked a little slow and his completion rate was not great for the U20s but has a lot of upside which he seems to be capitalizing on. Its massive that Euro teams are taking note of our youth and hopefully David can catch on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
