Bertuzzi44 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The V in me says he's a lost cause. The realist says he's probably a lost cause. Wait, I may have those mixed up..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Honestly, the fact that we're even having this debate shows both that Tabla is most likely a lost cause, and that we really overthink the tiniest details that show that a player might be a lost cause. Until I see Tabla's name on either a Canadian senior team roster, or an Ivory Coast roster, I'm just not going to worry about it. Even if he's cap-tied, he may not be committed to the program. Why worry about it for the next 15-20 years? deschamp86, Levi Oakey, matty and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 If we're looking at social media, look at the flags on Bernardellos post representing everyone in the pics nationality. Tabla is the only Ivorian in the pic and the flag is there. I think they know something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we put this to rest for a while cause it's really annoying. He was born in the Ivory Coast and has a love of it and also has said he feels at home playing in Montreal. I think it's safe to say that while this isn't a settled issue, there's not a lot currently to this paranoia. He's not on their youth sides and is years away from reaching their national team (unless he's way better than MLS right off the bat and moves to a European top flight before he's in his 20s).

thundercaps fan Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Even if he is years away from making the Ivorian team it doesn't mean he'll play for Canada in the meantime. I think Tabla will just turn down call ups just like Hoilett did, which is not good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm somewhat doubtful of that because of his youth involvement and the fact he was trained and grew up in Canada. Also is this guy the second coming or something? I get he's highly rated and the best Quebec talent Biello has seen but he's 17, a fuck ton could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Can we skip to the part of the thread where we all think we hate this guy for getting a call up to the Ivory Coast until after he's cut and decides to switch back to Canada and we all love him again?

Yeah you are right, a lot could change from now. I was just stating what I think is going to happen, but I don't have any inside information or anything.

I was just adding fuel to the fire hahaha. The only thing we can do is wait and see what he decides. Nothing is set in stone until we see him on a roster again.

You could also look at this and say "Canada flag is first! He loves Canada more!!!", but that would also be stupid. shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 And regardless of what happens on facesnapfeedagram, we probably should refrain from tearing him a new one on the basis of speculation. Assuming he may read this thread occasionally, reading posts where people essentially give up on him and dismiss him as a lost cause probably won't help us in the long run. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've already responded, I was just adding to the fire that was reading too hard into the social media and I believe we must wait until he's on any rosters before judging his situation.

Guest Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Was there any official statement towards why he skipped the u20?

Ruffian Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think in this case if "focusing on club" was Tabla's reason for not coming out for the U20 team, then that is a good enough reason. He has the chance to lock down a professional contract and a chance to get playing time on an MLS club that he has worked hard to be a part of. If he was not present for some of the Impact training camp, then he could lose his chance to impress the coaching staff.

Dub Narcotic Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I agree with this. Look how hard it is for these young guys to lock down regular pro spots. I came across a video recently of an older U-20 camp and it was depressing seeing a lot of guys like Dylan Carreiro who now have stalled pro careers.
