Acid-Tone Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 He should get every opportunity to start and hopefully prove his knees can hold up! I imagine SC Farense will be the odds on favorite to finish last and be relegated, so the one year deal makes sense for everyone. Regardless of whether he ever plays for us, I wish him all the best. It's hard to imagine many things more frustrating than reaching the near-elite level of sporting competition only to have your body betray you like his has!

Mikmacdo Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 it seems they have a couple of brazilian cb's around the same level starting now. i highly doubt portugal is calling up a 28 year old cb from sc farense anytime soon so best case is he wins the starting job, stays healthy and plays for us next year. johnyb and Nate3322 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costarg Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Personally, without knowing much about the guy besides his previous potential and the injury, I'm leaning towards he knows full well he won't get a call up from Portugal. He's most likely managing his games and workload to protect his knees and trying to earn some money the safe way. No way he risks his career playing for Canada, unless.... we qualify for the World Cup in 2022. Depending how his career is going, if stays healthy and signs a decent enough contract that he can live well after his playing days. That being said... we need some freakin CB's of this calibre!!! shamrock, johnyb, Corazon and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 To be fair we have done this to ourselves with the thread title. Too important for Canada is the answer 😛 @costarg is spot on imo. Much like akinola. No need to be hasty right now when no games are happening. Kent and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your so right ! Personally I want to see him in a Canadian Jersey so bad! He’s gonna be awesome for Canada! but honestly with his knee and club team security I don’t want some Caribbean shopkeeper to take out his knee and he’s done for another year. He’s not needed right now. When things get really serious in the later rounds , ya he should be there, I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t join ! He would be really stupid not too ! johnyb and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite not showing interest in playing for us, I actually feel the same way. I still hope he does well in case he finally decides to play for us, if not it's still nice to have a Canadian raised player playing at a decent level.

Club Linesman Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 He is evidently close to fitness. Quick google translate of a couple of articles. First one said he would be good to go next game but the more recent one indicates that he is still not match fit. Hoping he starts playing and then comes to his senses about his international option.

SpecialK Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Maybe he’ll change his mind about playing for Canada for this Nov. He would be a really nice addition and surprise for fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 He is finally healthy enough to be on the bench for today’s game. Let’s hope he starts playing and can maybe enter the conversation for our CB position. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 He is probably about #30 on their depth chart. If he is playing internationally, it’s for Les Rouge. N1ckbr0wn and Mikmacdo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 At what point to do we move on from Ferreira? When he is 31? 32? 33? The more depth the better, I guess, but I would really be surprised if he ever played for us.

Club Linesman Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 We need CB’s. He turned 28 just a couple weeks ago. And he is playing in Portugal same league as Vitoria who gets call ups, then he could still help us for Qatar. He got into the game today vs Bunbury’s old team today.

Club Linesman Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Made me wonder how old Vitoria is - 33! We can use Ferreira if he remains healthy and wants international football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 We do need CBs and yes he is "playing" in Portugal, but it's a pretty big IF that he remains healthy if you ask me. The rigors of concacaf play would not be kind to a guy who can't seem to stay healthy as it is. It's a big ask for a guy who doesn't really seem interested in playing for us anyways.

PiedPilko Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I've lost my faith in Ferreira. Farense just got knocked out by a third tier team in a cup game, and he's not even starting. He also just seems delusional about his international prospects with Portugal. I get that we're pretty desperate for CB's, but I don't even know where he'd be on the depth chart at this point.

The Real Marc Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The issue is not that that he is delusional about playing for Portugal. The issue is that he does not want to play for us. Mikmacdo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If he decides to play for us tomorrow, then great - we will get him into a camp and see where he fits. But I honestly don’t give a fuck about him at this point. He doesn’t care about the Nats and is an aging player who is injury prone. I get that he might be a quick upgrade in the short term but there is no way I am pining over this guy.
