Club Linesman Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Fantastic! It’s hard to imagine that we will have such talented offensive players to choose from and in competition with each other for the right to represent Canada! Herdman may need to end up playing the 352 vs all of our opponents. Now if we can convince Hutch to play CB for four years and/ or get Tomori or Ferreira to commit we will be assured of 2022!

I think anyone who shit on the release of Zambrano and the appointment of Herdman can officially give their head a shake now. It's all great news and I give Herdman huge credit for getting these guys on board, I'll wait and see what he can do with all of this talent before I crown him saviour of Canadian football!

Obviously Davies talents speak for themselves. But just from what i have seen of both player's play in MLS (in their rookie seasons of 2017) you can make a case for either of these players as to who you would put at top as far as prospect. One thing i liked about Tabla is his ability to play in tight spaces. Specifically, his dribbling with ball close to his feet and his ability to make a creative play in these situations.

Namaste Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I hope this is the domino for Tomori to come into the fold. Super stoked about Tabla and excited to cheer him on with Canada and Barcelona! Strait Red and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villus Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 As a long time Canadian soccer fan its nice to finally get the big prospects committing. Tomori and Ferreira would be huge with our lack of depth at CB, this young core could be really, really good and have a chance at overthrowing the usual order in CONCACAF Strait Red, MtlMario, hamiltonfan and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Bloody brilliant news! Was convinced he'd opt for Cote D. This all starts with Akindele, which is ironic seeing as he may never crack the 18 again. Akindele wins rookie of the year, then chooses Canada. Larin lights up MLS, gets rookie of the year. Hoillet comitts. And then it all starts coming together. MLS has a role to play here, for sure canadasoccer20 and hamiltonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkuseisLoose Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Can’t believe he committed watch us now not cap tie him ?. But in all seriousness our attacking depth is pretty good now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 My guess is that we will see Ferreira be the next to commit as he is getting older and his chances with Portugal aren’t great. Hopefully that happens when he comes back from injury. Tomori and Stephen may take a little longer. Hopefully one of them commits by the Gold Cup next year and the other for World Cup qualifying. There is also Akinola who we may see although he is gotta start thinking his chances with Canada are not much better than with the US with the depth we have in the front 3 positions now. Would love to see the attacking mid with the Turkish name in the Netherlands come onboard. But I am probably getting too excited now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferreira true. I don't think Tomori has much of a chance with England, unless he goes to the premier league next season and starts. He has wayyyy to many young CBs to pass who are currently getting premier league minutes. In 2022, when he's 24 he'll be battling against Joe Gomez who will be 25, John Stones 28, Harry Maguire 29, Michael Keane 28,... And those are the guys who have caps. Likewise with Stephen, he'll need a move somewhere with guys like Renato Sanchez, Ruben Neves, Andre Gomes etc. I think we'll see Stephen first though. As for Akinola, he'll have to make a decision that's best for him. Right now Canada ain't a guarantee as it was 3 months ago.
