Corazon Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 13 hours ago, matty said: Also just to be that guy, Cristante's ties were stronger than tenuous iirc. He's visited Canada for family reasons a good number of times and apparently still does as of 2017. I knew that Zambrano was working hard to recruit him but I thought I heard the connection was distant. Basically that his father or grandfather was from Canada. I actually had no idea that he was coming to Canada for family visits, etc. Hearing that breaks my heart a little more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father is Canadian and I think his brother is living in BC - I know someone claiming to be his brother slammed Canada for not not calling duels when they are young Edited March 25, 2019 by SpecialK johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Cristante still proud and not shy to say he’s Canadian - come on voyageurs let’s put pressure on Victor to change the rules and we can try to get Bryan back ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While pleased he's still actively promoting his Canadian roots, I think it's best to just accept he's not coming. Even if the rules were changed, he's managed to earn 6 caps for Italy, including a pair in official matches.

If the rules were too change, what would be our chances of changing his mind. With the lineup we have and we have the World Cup in 2026. Matty would you say 50/50 still ? If you were a betting man ?

Your probably right and I don’t blame him at all! Good for him. Wish he made the squad this break. It’s clear now we need Tomori, Ferreira , Gutiérrez and Bassong ASAP!

Cavallini , Larin , Millar, David, Akindele, Ricketts, Haber and that’s just at the senior level.

Blackjack15 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 As much as it hurts saying this it's time to move on from Bryan Cristante. But good thing he still proudly calls himself a Canadian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just our back-line that worries me once we start playing stronger opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmhutchinson Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 How comes Bryan Crisante is regarded as one who got away? Born and raised in Italy, played youth level for Italy all the way from U16 to full international, Has a passport through his father How is he regarded as a Canadian?

This reminds me of what's her name telling everyone how proud she is of being Canadian while telling us her dream was always to play for the US. It's a little confusing to me.?

Dominic94 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Matter of time till we get another big recruit, Davies, David, ZBG, Millar, Ballou, Busti are all at the least showing great potential, not to mention Collyn and Habibulah being highly touted. One of these kids who’s on the fence will think that they want to be part of this group. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the The potential fear , do you think players would jump ship though, We have a really good roster pool and great chance at making the World Cup 2022 and we have the World Cup in 2026.
