costarg Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Am I a sucker to hope he's taking a year off for more rehabilitation time? If so, I wouldn't blame him and it could be a wise move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frmr Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yeah, since the 2017-18 season he's played seven matches... I don't think he needs more time off. Probably done. The Real Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I just refuse to lose hope. I'm thrilled with Miller, Johnston and Kennedy (although the injuries worry me with this one - ahem, Ferreira). I feel we just need one dominant CB, a leader to really attain the next level. Tomori is that girl in highschool you just can't forget.

PiedPilko Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) It is kinda funny that the Cayman game was probably the last match he'll ever play. Edited October 21, 2021 by PiedPilko MM3/MM2/MM and narduch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 plenty of teams will be looking for players at the break...will be opportunities out there...if he wants to play and hes fit he should be able to sign somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Not to be pessimistic but I just can’t see another comeback. Maybe he is training like mad and will shock me but after so many false starts and a long layoff it seems like the writing is on the wall.

youllneverwalkalone Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 He's not done till Nolando sees him training in the park beside his house. This was the kiss of death for Whoregreaves. ray, johnyb, Addona and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is funny to me is his one cap for Portugal was: - against the USA (and he got burned , leading to the US goal) - a camp where Ronaldo was given some rest and not invited, so he never got to play and train with him. That the match vs the Cayman Islands might have been his last is just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razcle Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Any actual news on this guy? Being from Mississauga I wondered if TFC would take a flyer given our CB situation. I thought he looked very composed in his cap for Canada and was hoping to see more. Ruffian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinozotti Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The guy hasn’t played in half a year, lost cause now. As much as we wanted him for us, he wouldn’t get the job done anymore Shway, johnyb, Nate3322 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Considering he joined us when he was broken down and wasn't getting anymore Portugal calls, not too sad about his situation. johnyb and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) I understand the pessimism but his path thus far is pretty well the exact thing that landed Vitoria as a stalwart in our defence. Vitoria: commits to Canada at age 28 after failing to earn a Portugal callup and falling out of favour at a powerhouse club. Bounces around a few clubs, experiences injury and often falls out of favour. Now he is a frequent contributor (sometimes even getting the captain's armband) for both club and country. Ferreira: commits to Canada at age 28 after failing to earn a Portugal callup and falling out of favour at a powerhouse club. Bounces around a few club, experiences injury and often falls out of favour. Now ????? Obviously he doesn't currently warrant a callup and I can't say he will definitely bounce back... but I wouldn't write off Ferreira's career or future with the national team program just yet. Sometimes a spell of health and a club that believes in your ability is all you need.

While based on the games he's missed I would agree, at the end of the day neither you nor I are his doctor. To the best of our knowledge, he's 2 years healthy and 2 years prior to that he was starting at Braga. He might never make it back, but it's not like he just forgot how to football. I won't write it off yet. Just last year he was playing in a league that most of the defenders on our radar would dream of playing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frmr Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 He's got a mountain to climb mentally. After two potentially career-ending injuries back-to-back, he's going to have arguably a tougher time overcoming the mental hurdles required to get back to performing at the top level than he will physically. Not impossible, but I would be very impressed with his mental strength if he can get back to a level required to earning a place in Canada's team right now.
