Obinna Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 14 hours ago, The Real Marc said: Anyone else making that other than Bekker or Bustos? Are they really going to give him that kind of money? Maybe they are, because he's on a three year deal and it's Atletico Madrid? He's got upside but also significant downside. He stinks out the joint in Can PL and he's done. High risk high reward for both parties. I like it a lot. Not sure to be honest, but I would be surprised if he wasn't offered something in that ball park. After digesting it a bit yesterday I have warmed up to it. I really hope he can kick on from here.

costarg Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Interesting article/interview with Ballou (in French). He comes out sounding very grounded, humble and thankful to the coaches everyone seemed to think he had issues with. https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/soccer/2022-03-09/entrevue-avec-ballou-tabla/tout-ce-que-je-peux-controler-c-est-le-terrain.php dyslexic nam, Xavier., johnyb and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Definitely could do with the confidence boost, he hasn't looked comfortable within the team or more the rest of the team not utilizing his best skills or passing to him. Imo. Hopefully he builds from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I have seen all of Ottawa’s games and I think he’s looked really good out there. The skill is there. He’s look very dangerous at times. If he puts it all together and keep playing big minutes. I can see him get a call up in nations league. The CPL is gonna be great for him !

Obinna Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hopefully the first of many, but not too many, as I want to see him go above and beyond CPL before long. The jump to Atletico Madrid would obviously be massive, if not unrealistic, but Atletico San Luis in Liga MX could be a good eventual destination, perhaps. It's still early of course, but I hope the consortium of 'Atletico' clubs can provide Tabla a new home once he consistently proves all he can at this level. toontownman, Shway, Jack1997 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil03 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Sadly I feel the bridge has been burned with MTL and, as much as I would love to see it happen, the jump straight to Athletico Madrid is unlikely to happen However, as a an alumnie of MTL's academy Tabla is considering an homegrown player by MLS rules, and therefore automatically a domestic one. I feel that's both a credible and the best way ahead for Tabla: use the fact he can be considered a domestic player in MLS' American clubs to carve himself a way back to *somewhere* in MLS and go from there.

There's always Atletico San Luis. He's still very far away from that, but it's more realistic than Atletico Madrid. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
