What I'm saying is, how could he not walk into a starting midfield position if he's playing at a player of the month level in a superior league than MLS and the SPL. If he does end up making a move to one of Porto, Benfica or Sporting, the only CMNT player with a bigger club would be Davies. Atiba with Besiktas you could make an argument for, but not Piette, Oso, or Arfield. Don't get me wrong I love those three, but just my opinion. Of course he has to actually choose Canada as well Edited November 15, 2018 by Chad_Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he a great player and how would he fit in with the NT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, big article in Portugal's sports newspaper Record about how he will be transferred to Sporting! http://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-nos/sporting/detalhe/eustaquio-a-analise-dos-especialistas http://www.pressreader.com/portugal/record-portugal/20181116/281582356663613 http://bancada.pt/futebol/portugal/eustaquio-o-luso-canadiano-que-faz-da-qualidade-do-passe-a-arma-letal The wizard of OZ may have really f*** this one up for us.

Do you believe the rumour that @shermanator repeated? On 8/30/2018 at 11:23 AM, shermanator said: Since this is not first hand information, I'd take this with a grain of salt, but what I've heard from multiple people is... Zambrano was on one of his "scouting trips" in Spain (aka an excuse to live large on the CSA's dime while doing no actual scouting) while Eustaquio was playing in Torreense. Eustaquio reached out to Zambrano to express his desire to play for Canada, inviting Zambrano to watch him play as he was nearby. Zambrano never bothered to get back to him. Eustaquio then moved to Leixoes and shortly after accepted a callup from Portugal. So either this is a prime example of why Zambrano was fired seemingly out of nowhere, or a perfect example of a Zambrano smear job on his way out. Would not be surprised if it was true.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Tough loss, but that Poland U21 team is strong. Stephen is too old by about 10 days for Tokyo 2020 qualifiers. It is now between trying to become a senior Portugal player or a senior #CanMNT player. Youth career over. Ansem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid-Tone Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This has to be good for his prospects of playing for Canada. Though it is a Portuguese manager that's bringing him over to Mexico. I'm somewhat surprised that one of the mid-tier clubs in Portugal haven't snapped him up. dyslexic nam, Chad_Impact, Blackjack15 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad_Impact Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A little disappointing after seeing some of the clubs he was linked with but still a good level, and definitely good for CMNT chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack15 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 This certainly takes him out Portugal's radar, crazy that he was linked with European clubs such as: Sporting CP, Seville, Betis, Man City and Newcastle UTD and Never managed to sign with them Now being with Cruz Azul in Liga MX, the best league in CONCACAF I think this brings him closer to play for Canada I'm sure John Herdman is talking with Stephen to bring him into the fold, hopefully by March the earliest, he has to file his one time switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
