Gian-Luca Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Given the Canucks who are playing tonight, I imagine he, Osorio and Shaffelburg will start on Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 TFC are playing like shit but Laryea hits one from distance (which you don’t see too often) and gets a goal in the final game of the season. costarg and Bison44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was a bit of a revelation. I wonder if that is something he just doesnt use much as he is usually dribbling his heart out up and down the wing. Something else to put in the highlight reel if he is shopping for a new club. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually has taken a good number of shots with the NT. He scored vs Bermuda and hit the post vs Suriname I remember. Had some cracks vs Mexico.

Nice that Osorio suggested he needed Europe to stay on Canada’s first team. Both should get some time in Europe a la Landon Donovan to stay fit. yesterday for Montreal a few guys were mentioned to go to bologna for training. Why was Miller not included is beyond me but didn’t see if anyone asked. Obinna and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but the confidence with which they both spoke definitely makes me think that the wheels may be turning. Osorio has spoken about Europe before, but I don't remember feeling him sounding this confident and in the drivers seat per say. 2 minutes ago, Ruud said: Nice that Osorio suggested he needed Europe to stay on Canada’s first team Agreed on this point, was a refreshing comment to hear johnyb and ghostknownunknown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I imagine Osorio in the Netherlands. He can probably be a useful player for Feyenoord or even PSV and Ajax, probably from the bench for those latter two. Spain may be possible too, at the lower half of the table, of course. What about Venezia in Serie A? They seem to have a growing concacaf contingent. Busio was their record transfer and they also added Tessman from FC Dallas (who's played sparingly). They may want a veteran hand to help them out though. In fact, they added Ridgeciano Haps from Feyenoord in the off season, who you may recall from the 1st round of qualifying against Suriname. He was one of the big recruits ahead of the match who squared off against Laryea on the flank. Anyways, similar age to Osorio, similar transfermarkt value, different position of course, but might speak to the sort of reinforcement they could go for. cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, similar age to Osorio, similar transfermarkt value, different position of course, but might speak to the sort of reinforcement they could go for. I think that I have mentioned it before in the Jonathon Osorio thread but he recently changed Agencies (maybe last winter?). Anyways, his new agency is Sports Entertainment Group (SEG) and they have a very large connection to Dutch footballers and the Eredivisie so I would suspect that is a strong possibility. Laryea, given his age could perhaps move to a bigger club or bigger league. Some of the athletes with SEG include: Martin De Roon - Dutch International playing for Atalanta in Serie A and formerly of Heerenveen & Sparta Rotterdam Kasper Dolberg - Danish International playing for OGC Nice in Ligue 1 and formerly of Ajax Cody Gakpo - Dutch International playing for PSV Eindhoven in Eredivisie Daley Blind - Dutch International playing for Ajax in Eredivisie Jairo Riedewald - Dutch International playing for Crystal Palace in Premier League and formerly of Ajax Kevin Strootman - Dutch International playing for Cagliari in Serie A and formerly of PSV, Utrecht & Sparta Rotterdam Jasper Cillessen - Dutch International playing for Valencia in La Liga and formerly of Ajax & NEC Santiago Arias - Colombian Internaitonal playing for Granada in La Liga and formerly of PSV The list goes on and on but those above were just some of the biggest names under them. I would say that at least 66% to 75% are either Dutch Internationals or have experience in the Dutch football system. The names above are big names mostly form the big 2 clubs in Netherlands but they have dozens of more players with the lower level Dutch teams as well. There also seems to be a decent connection with Scandinavian players and leagues. Other big players include Siebatchu (Pefok), Hoever, Hoedt, Troost Ekong, Locadia, Natcho and even Biseswar (from Suriname).

Axia Sports Management. Looks like there is some connections to Greece. Based out of Montreal, Toronto & Athens but there also seems to be a connection to Belgium as well. Here are some of the athletes. European's Overseas (Greek Players): Victor Klonaridis with Atromitos FC (formerly AEK Athens & Panathinaikos) Nikos Kainourgios with SV Zulte Waregem Giorgos Koutsias with PAOK FC Giannis Botos with Go Ahead Eagles Canadians Overseas: Cyle Larin with Besiktas Derek Cornelius with Panetolikos Jonathan David with Lille (formerly Gent) Jules Vilsaint with Royal Antwerp Domestic Based NA Players: Adam Lundkvist with Houston Dynamo Alex Bono with Toronto FC James Pantemis with Montreal Mathieu Choinoire with Montreal Tristan Borges with Forge (formerly OH Leuven) Yuya Kubo with FC Cincinnati Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Besiktas is around the level I would expect for Laryea to be at in Europe but Besiktas have Valentin Rosier (and they just got him on a permanent deal) on the right who is one of their better players and Ridvan Yilmaz on the left who is a Turkey senior international at the age of 20. Barring him playing farther up the field I think it would be difficult for him to break into their starting XI.

He's 4 years older, but they'd be still be getting a wide player, and he'd come at a fraction of the price. johnyb, sebdeserio, Atlantic and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, this agency is strongly connected to Sigma and Bobby Smyrniotis (Forge manager) who brought up a large portion of the domestic players they represent through the youth ranks. Costa (Bobby's brother and current director at Sigma) was originally listed as an agent & founder. I'm not sure if he is no longer involved, or if they just delisted him to get people to stop talking about the Forge-Sigma relationship. Obviously, there is a connection to Greece through that relationship and specifically with Bobby previously working at Olympiacos. Bobby also spent some years developing youth programs for Ajax, but I haven't really seen this group leverage any Dutch relationships. I believe that the Belgian connection runs through Peter Reynders (former Forge assistant) who spent more than two decades working at Genk and has run camps with Sigma since 2013. Daniel Krutzen, Tristan Borges and Paolo Sabak are all Forge players who have spent time at Genk. Outside of players with Greece, Genk or Sigma relationships; I've always been a bit surprised with the amount of French Canadian players they represent. I now notice that Nick De Santis is also involved in Axia, so I'd assume his 20 years in the Impact organization have some pretty good influence. If I had to hazard a guess, Genk and Besiktas would have to be frontrunners.

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Laryea could make a move to Europe, he is younger, has an upside, his salary is not that high. Perhaps not being really clearly defined in terms of position could hurt him, but he's versatile. I think Osorio is going to have a hard time to find anything in Europe, and suspect, on his salary, he's just posturing to see if Bradley will come pleading him to stay. cronaldo7 and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
