Yes these specific countries have "taken" from us, but those are isolated incidences and those nations don't obsess over any player of their heritage playing abroad. Hargreaves was a guy about to break out at Bayern Munich and De Guzman was playing in the Netherlands at the time. Unless you can show me Dutch or English fans, pundits and their respective FAs obsess over a Canadian of said heritage playing on a MLS youth squad, it's not the same thing. Not even close. 10 hours ago, matty said: The problem @Macksam is addressing is the fact Canada has no actual player pool. Instead we have to turn over stones to find people and Canada does a shitty as fuck job at that (Alan Mannus is proof of how shitty our searching power is). Canada is in a place where we basically need to hope a guy will settle for Canada and that's a fucking joke. Canada is also in a place where any Canadian playing in Sweden's 3rd tier is being followed by the national team and that's even more of a fucking joke. Yeah some guys like Arfield are real gets and adding Cristante, Tomori and Ferreira would make us a feared side in CONCACAF likely but going after just anyone (which is largely the case with Canada) is a waste of time and money. We need to be selective when it comes to this. You mean no where near as frequently. Most are searching their own leagues for players to follow or are only tracking those in top tiers (sometimes second tiers) from maybe a handful of nations that might be eligible. This is the type of post that deserves multiple likes. This is our ultimate goal and what every voyageur should be hoping for.

One American Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 his mother is Canadian. That's like Mix Diskerud. And Mix is probably the most typically American of the USMNT foreign contingent. TheCanadianAstronaut54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior_Hoilett_07 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 On 4/27/2017 at 10:04 PM, Junior_Hoilett_07 said: FourFourTwo in England published an article on their website a few days ago about each Premier League teams future prospect. It's similar to The Guardian report but has a bit more information about him if anyone is interested. Here is the link: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/all-20-premier-league-clubs-brightest-youth-prospect-yet-make-their-first-team-debuts Apparently, it says that he was born in Canada to a French father and Canadian mother but is being looked at by the English FA for their youth teams. We could do with trying to get him to play for our own youth teams ASAP as it sounds like he moved to England at quite a young age. His situation seems quite similar to Fikayo Tomori's so lets hope it doesn't end up the same way. UPDATE: According to Burnley's website, he was recently nominated as the club's 'Scholar of the Year' at a special Premier League event. The article (link below) seems to suggest he's had a good season this year. Maybe the CSA should start thinking about approaching him to join our youth set up if they haven't done so already? I've read elsewhere that England are reportedly showing interest. http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/news/article/2016-17/scholar-tristan-is-top-of-the-class-3724670.aspx TheCanadianAstronaut54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialK Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Burnley Academy just got upgraded to category 2. Now they can play against tougher academies/ other EPL academies like Man U. I hope some games will be online. I can't wait to see Tristan play. https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/news/2017/june/academy-granted-category-2-status/ Edited June 26, 2017 by SpecialK Blackjack15 and jpg75 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Tristan and Burnley u18 are playing in the Generali CEE Cup in the Czech Republic starting July 19. There are 12 teams playing including two other English premiership u18 teams and one team from Canada, Prostars FC. Hopefully there will be some great video of this young Canadian potential star player and the Canadian team. http://www.ceecup.org/en/index.php TheCanadianAstronaut54, hamiltonfan, Zem and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Burnley u18 played this morning against AC Sparta Praha. Burnley won 1-0. #7 Tristan Jumeau made a nice pass on the goal in the 74' min. The live stream was really good. Here's the link to watch the game. They play the prostars FC from Toronto tomorrow ( I think) maccaliam, TheCanadianAstronaut54, dyslexic nam and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack15 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The fact that he is scoring regularly for the U17s and U18s, while just being 15 years old is very impressive! I hope he choses Canada (Mother) over France (Father)! Is he eligible for the FA? (England) Has the CSA reached out to bring him in for youth camps? hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya he is eligible for England because he lives there and there have been reports the FA is scouting him hard. I don't have twitter but can someone send a twitter message to the CSA asking if they know and been in contact, and scouting him. Or does anyone know that the CSA is involved? Because OZ did have u15/16 camp recently. I hope the CSA doesn't mess this up! Blackjack15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
