Macksam Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) I think the explanation is quite simple. He's trying to gun for a first team place with FC Dallas, and the team's pre season and training camp is well under way right now. He's doing well and the coaches are evaluating him. He's not going to risk that for the U20 Championship and I'm sure the CSA's staff were well aware of that when making the selections.

Gale brought Dylan Carreiro through the ranks. From what I have seen, he doesn't really go for the traditional holdup striker. Which I think was one of the reasons that we didn't use Cyle Larin effectively at u-20 level last cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he isnt eligible to be a first team player due to US labour law. He wont be until he is 18. He will have to play in Canada this year or with the Academy.

I also don't think this is an issue, or MLS wouldn't have signed him to a GA deal. And he'll be 18 in may, so think this is a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we would have started with Dylan Carriero if he had been available. That cycle he had Jay Hams and Cyle Larin, Carriero, Petrasso and Aird were held back by their clubs if I remember correctly. We had invested a lot less in that cycle. So I don't think he had the depth that he has this cycle. From what I have seen of Shaan Hundal he isn't a "Hold up striker". Neither is Zanatta or Uccello. Sigue would be the only one of the current crop I would put in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's a FIFA statute, a minor cannot move to play outside of his home nation for footballing purposes (the family would need to move for non-football reasons). It stands to reason that Reid will likely not be able to play for either FC Dallas nor their USL affiliate until his 18th bday - he could be loaned to a Canadian club however. I would have thought he would not have been able to sign a contract either, but it's possible the league got around this by creating a Canadian subsidiary and Reid signing with the subsidiary (to legally sign with a "Canadian" league).

RS Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Omar Salgado was allowed to play outside the United States (in Vancouver) despite being under 18. IIRC, he got around the FIFA statute because MLS is recognized as the same top flight for both countries. With that in mind, I don't see why Reid wouldn't be able to take advantage of the same "loophole."

I tried googling this and couldn't find anything. Anyhow, my original point stands. If you look at the Canadians with realistic shots of getting MLS first team contracts or the ones that are already in the first team fold but under 20, like Malick Johnson, Alfonso Davies and Shamit Shome, they aren't apart of this squad as well. A few of us were even questioning why Shaan Hundal wasn't invited to the first team training camp for TFC and that answered itself when he got selected for the U20 squad.

miel de maple Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) You can watch Reid play last 35min as a number 9 vs Racing below (starts at -41min mark). He played well, some good give and goes and a great scoring chance in the box faking far post then rifling a shot off the near post that frooze the keeper in his boots. He reminds me a bit of Obafemi Martins, a great first touch to turn a defender or get separation then sets up follow on runners w flick-ons to get in behind defenders. Actually the way he stands reminds me of Oba in that he holds his head slightly back and his posture makes you (and sometimes his teammates!) think he's not ready to receive the ball and is almost uninterested, but he can go from standing erect to a sprint to pounce on a pass in a heartbeat.. interesting player.

BradMack Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Reid scored in a friendly against River Plate, ended 1-1. He also had an assist in a friendly between FCD reserves vs SMU Mustangs. Does the fact that he's already signed to a gen adidas contract not mean he's already on the roster? I'm assuming he's on the roster until he's loaned o a USL team.

However, I think the issue that surrounds him is that he is 17 and can't play in for the first team until he turns 18.

Kent Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 And he doesn't turn 18 until August according to MLS website.
