He’s anything but a “depth move”. he’s either match fit and in our starting XI or injured and providing 0 depth We must also consider the growth of Henry, James and Cornelius. Who knows where those players will be at when this guy finally gets healthy and rounds into form. All 3 may be ahead of him by then, if they aren't already. This is a guy who has played only 40 games for Braga in the last 4 years and he'll probably have to drop a standard in order to build himself back up.

Battles for every challenge, goes in hard on tackles etc. That to me says a lot about his commitment? He has answered the bell for every game in CLN vs. minnows....what else can one ask of a player? king1010, Bertuzzi44, shamrock and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkuseisLoose Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If Ferreira does join within the next year or so he starts currently alongside James. Obviously if Henry or Cornelius move on to a bigger club they could easily rival him but if they stay at their current level I can’t see them starting over him.

All I'm saying is he left a sour taste in my mouth by saying that he regretted being cap tied by Canada and only showing up once in about 5 years, during a time when he was needed most to help rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it's not even clear that James is ahead of Henry. I am just as impressed at everyone else that James finally broke into a top Danish team, but I am waiting to see how he looks week-in and week-out. We see how good Henry has been for Vancouver. I watched the friendly match he played for Portugal against the United States and he was absolutely skinned for pace on multiple occasions, and that was at the peak of his powers.

But if that is the case, then just say you don't like what he did during that 5 year span, don't question his current commitment which has been on display the past 2 years.

Ansem Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 We can still land him. Not surprising that he tells a Portuguese media that he wants to play for Portugal... Like Eustaquio used to say... Or Ballou for Ivory Coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 It's been a year since he re-injured himself and had to have surgery again trying to get back into playing again from his previous injury. Looks like his career has died due to these recurring injury problems. JuicyHam and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to think that Canada becomes his only option for international football Definitely his only option. He’s in the latter years of his 20s and has been battling very serious injuries for most of them. It would take something pretty incredible to get him back into Portugals plans. Here’s hoping he goes back to competing at a good level so he can even be a good option for us Edited February 1, 2020 by N1ckbr0wn SpecialK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Marc Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Would he risk it? The last thing he needs is to tweak an injury playing in Central America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 If he can get his game back and signs on with us. Boom our CB problem is fixed and watch out concacaf !! Book your tickets for Qatar 2022 boys and girls !! If he’s 100% he’s the CB we have been missing. He’s big, can really pass it, can handle speed, good in the air. He can be a true anchor back there! Ferreira , Vitoria, Henry, Cornelius, James, Miller, Kennedy, Didic, Gasparotto, Montgomery, Waterman, Romeo, Straith, Dunn- Johnson, Meilleur-Giguère, Facchineri, Lebre, Sadiki. im liking that list!!! Also who knows some diamond in the rough player comes out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also who knows some diamond in the rough player comes out of nowhere. Not sure one player guarantees us qualification for 2020 but if (and that’s a big if) he regains his form and commits to us, that would be a big plus especially in the short term for next years qualification matches. I would also add Higgins at TFC and Yao at the Impact to that list plus Halbouni now at Werner Bremen. When you look at that list, you gotta expect that 1 or 2 of the kids emerge in the next year or so to be a full-time starter at the MLS or equivalent level and 1 or 2 more in a couple of years time. Where I once thought CB was our weakest position, I now think depth wise it’s fullback (even if we may have one of the emerging world’s best at that position).

baulderdash77 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 It’s an interesting question. Now that I think about it we really may be 1 really top end CB away from a World Cup team. We have a bunch of ok-to-solid CB’s in our pool with a bunch of depth of ok-to-solid guys but no stars. If -big if- Ferreira returned to full health and form he may be good enough to put us over the top. We haven’t had very strong CB’s With Davies at LB and Laryea at RB we have a very solid set of CB’s. Probably best in CONCACAF. Our midfield is probably 3rd best and our attacking options with Cav, David and Hoilett are probably 2nd best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I’ve never seen this guy play, but I find it hard to believe he is good enough to guarantee us qualification when you consider that our path might have to go through Messi (as an example).

Fullback Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yeah, I think everybody needs to pump the brakes a bit. Not easy to come back from the kind of injuries he's had and even if he does become healthy, you would think he would have seriously lost a step speed and agility wise.

Ugh, Davies will NOT be an effective LB for Canada as he is for Bayern. In Bayern he is sorrounded by other world class defenders (one of them David freaking Alaba, a world class LB himself) who can quickly fill in any gaps left behind if Davies decides to move forward. Canada does not have that luxury. Just because he plays as LB for Bayern Munich does not mean he would be able to successfully do the same for Canada.
