lazlo_80 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 1 hour ago, harrycoyster said: Not that the Caps aren't worthy of some criticism when it comes to youth players, but Adekugbe has reportedly had his mind made up that he only wanted to play in Europe since before the Brighton loan. The Whitecaps offered Adekugbe some pretty significant minutes before the Brighton loan that he turned down. In this specific case Adekugbe has less interest in the Whitecaps than they have in him. I take it you're a whitecaps fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Jordan Hamilton joined TFC as a 16 year old from Pickering SC. Also, Vancouver started their Residency in 2007 with the class of 1990's that included REB, Straith, Thomas, Gage (91) et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember him traveling to training camp with the senior team in the Aron Winter era (I was thinking 2011) as a 14 year old. Looking up his birthday the math would work with 2011 but he would have been virtually 15 at the time. And now I've looked it up. This says he was 15 when he joined the academy in 2011. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2014/01/09/toronto-fc-sign-academy-forward-canadian-youth-international-jordan-hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is, they didn't sign him when assembling their next academy class in winter 2010-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Because the Aird one all happened so fast, I want to give you guys some time in case this happens. Goteborg are putting me in touch with Sam and as you guys do a good job thinking up stuff figured I'd ask for your ideas NOTE: I'm not asking if he's done in Vancouver (I know that's a rumour) and already have a question in place about Tomori Edited September 1, 2017 by matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakmur Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 He must be enjoying his playing time. He went 60 mins in his first game and has played the full 90 in all five games since. Blackjack15, Obinna and toontownman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodgkiss Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Which league would he most like to play in? BPL? Is he most comfortable as a LFB, LWB or LW and why?

Obinna Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) What are his early impressions of the football in Sweden?

Why was it decided to go on loan in Sweden, specifically with IFK? Is there hope in the club that it can finish a Europa league place? Are there any specific aspects of his game that he is working on, or hoping to improve, while out on loan in Sweden? If so, what are they?

BuzzAndSting Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Non soccer related, more cultural @matty. How has enjoyed Sweden? Any major shocks or adjustments? Has he tried surstromming?

TRM Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This is becoming a very depressing, recurring theme. He plays very good and gets injured. During his first run up the field he was involved in a very good chance. Here's hoping it's nothing serious and he finds a way to stay healthy. Good luck Sam.

In that run that led to his injury, you could see what he brings: a natural, smooth attacker from the left back position unlike anyone else we have. He has a world of potential but somehow needs to find a way to stay healthy. Mike Thompson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Good article on Adekugbe posted on Twitter by Canucks Abroad:https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/allsvenskan/skadehistoriken-kan-paverka-backens-framtid-i-blavitt/ Using google translate, sounds like his injury history is giving IFK pause as to whether they want to pick up their purchase option or not. Also interesting to note that he doesn't say what his preference would be for next season between staying in Sweden or returning to Vancouver.

shermanator Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I would be very pleased if Adekugbe were to transfer to Goteborg. It seems to be a good level for him to get lots of minutes in, which is the key for his development given his struggles for minutes in Vancouver, and his injury history.
