No one ever took the Azerbaijan thing seriously but he confirmed it was wikipedia bullshit here: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/812298/st-johnstones-david-wotherspoon-reveals-all-in-this-weeks-special-a-to-z/ Says his mum was indeed born in Canada.

Bully Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 He'll be in an upcoming camp. Where do folks rate him on our depth chart? Addona, hamiltonfan, Blackjack15 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine if Arfield goes into the middle he is competing with Aird and Petrasso and Edwards if Zambrano opts to use him as an RM rather than a left back. If Edwards is at RM I think hes a starter. The left is Hoilett's to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialK Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I am, maybe FIFA paper problems. Scott Arfield said it took about a year to get everything in order for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Arfield said it took about a year to get everything in order for him. It takes a few months but it's quicker when you already have a passport. We don't know if Wotherspoon already had one - I suspect not. His mum may not even have had one - they may have had to start from scratch and get all the documentation together to get Wotherspoon a passport and then file a one-time switch.

Pottsy3 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 He's never played a game for us and plays a position where we have some depth. If he was called up against curaçao and proved himself, then maybe I'd be surprised. But as of right now, his suggested positions are filled by guys like Aird, Davies, Edwards, Arfield, etc. All of which earned their spot in the squad.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 + He is playing in Europa league today. He's got big games to play at club level. Zambrano talked about giving some other guys a chance for the Jamaica friendly in Toronto. My hope is that he will have everything sorted by then. yothat, toontownman and Pottsy3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoginess Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I suppose that's the nice thing about the one-time switch, we can cap-tie someone without having to wait 2 years for an official match. king1010, hamiltonfan and toontownman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Makes sense not to throw him in without a real up close look in. Hopefully will be in the squad for Jamaica. Looks like he will add some more nice depth to the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Arfield, all the guys who listed are far less experienced and likely lesser players at the current time and two have one 1 cap (one of those guys actually looked meh in the game), Wotherspoon would easily jump them on the depth chart and hold the spot until they're ready to take it back (should he play for Canada).

It was an alright goal I personally think Zambrano will call up a North American based squad for this friendly against Jamaica. Doesn't make sense to have guys from the Europe who's season is in full swing for just one match. They must focus in their respective leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
