Coin Toss Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Notice how both our U17 and U20 male players of the year are question marks when it comes to MNT allegiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U17 in question technically isn't even Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad_Impact Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I honestly think that getting him to accept any cap tying call up would be tough at this point. He seems set on playing for Cote d'Ivoire. On top of what he's already said and done, he's posted two Instagram stories about it. One was him holding Oyongo's CAF medal with a caption basically saying "one day" and another was today of what seemed to be Cote d'Ivoire's national anthem.

Shway Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think if he gets substantial minutes with MTL we call him up for the gold cup...(if he accepts) That goes for every player basically...if your playing for your club team, you should get the call up on that alone....because we have a lot of players who are the same, and for me it comes down to who's consitently playing.

Keegan Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Classy strategy to stick with Canada until he picked up the U20 award and then dip before the matches that matter. He hasn't done anything wrong yet but where there is smoke there is fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad_Impact Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The Impact's youtube channel has a vlog series following training camp, and he seems to be doing well. Check him out at 3:49 .Also, here's a screenshot of what I was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingvikingstad Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I support West Ham, and a few months before the January window on the supporters forum, many were referring to cryptic posts and likes from Payet on Instagram that referred to vague ideas about him wanting to return to France. Most people shot them down as wacky theories and said things like 'who cares about what happens on social media' and so on and so forth. What happened less than a few months later? He makes a Pepe Le Pew stink and wants to leave back to France. Sometimes where there's smoke, there's fire. Sadly - much like Payet - I think this is one of those cases. masster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is any question that Tabla has his heart set on playing for IC personally. There has been way too much fire, as you put it, to think otherwise. Still I don't see IC having any interest in him at this point. i know people always downplay the act of cap tying these kids, but I would do it ASAP with Tabla as the upside significantly outweighs the downside.

Chad_Impact Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) We have to remember that Tabla and Cote d'Ivoire's Drogba were close during his tenure. Drogba seems to have thought highly of him so who knows what he's said to Cote d'Ivoire's soccer federation. I say at the very least, Tabla is on their radar. If they come calling, I think he accepts it. If they don't, then he considers Canada. Edited February 28, 2017 by Chad_Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
