Lansdude Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Seems dumb to sell him now. Hold on to him, avoid relegation, hopefully his stock rises more when Canada qualified for World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 When is his contract up? Keep in mind the closer he gets to the end of his contract the less money Pacos can probably get for him. johnyb, maccaliam and Free kick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoH037 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 When Canada qualifies and competes in Qatar, and Eustaquio stands out, you'll be sure he'll get a move then. I'm not worried about his career trajectory, its trending well, he is playing at a good level, and he is still young and will be a key piece come 2026 (future Captain perhaps?). Right now I'm most concerned with him getting playing time and staying in form. P-O and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on to him, avoid relegation, hopefully his stock rises more when Canada qualified for World Cup. Pacos wages for the entire team is just over 2 million euro and steph is 440K of that. If someone came with a 6 or 7 million dollar offer from him, you're talking about 3 years worth of club wages. It would be pretty tough for a club owner to turn that down. I think clubs low balled offers in summer and Pacos' owner knew international football playing against Mexico and the US would help his stock rise so he held off, but a player is one injury away from having his stock plummet too. king1010, Approve My Account Pls, Corazon and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 A fluky assist today that probably should've been a drawn penalty: Was very involved today otherwise, in a 2-1 win. One of his better games this season. Corazon, dyslexic nam, sebdeserio and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard a single rumour or link for Stephen on a transfer. Doesn't look like he's moving this window. He'll be off on international duty on the 22nd. You'd think with medicals something would have to be done before then. I can't believe no one's chasing him. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueseeka Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Watched a couple of Pacos games and he definitely seems to stick out more in the Canadian lineup than he does on his club team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone with a keener eye could chip in, but everytime I've watched him with Pacos it just seems like he's forced to play more defensive/bail his team out of a lot of situations whereas he has a bit more freedom to show his talent with the national team Xavier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I rewatched the Mexico away match yesterday. He was in a triangle with Laryea and Davies most of the match and they were collectively going toe-to-toe with the Mexican right side (until Adekugbe came on). Vitoria was bailing out Miller, although he was generally fine. Just guessing, but I assume there are no similar players on Paco's when they play Benfica, Sporting, Braga, Porto. i.e. they don't have have all of a top LW, LB, and decent CB, LB/LCB combo. Makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matro25 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 With Stephen like many other CanMNT guys, they're going to benefit from the buzz around Canada making the World Cup this summer with a move IMO. mowe and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say he's pretty reliant on having a midfield partner who can advance forward. He had Costa last year with Pacos and now he doesn't really have anyone. It's why Kaye/Osorio compliment him so perfectly with the NT. Steph is technically a support player - but a very very good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgewater17 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 https://football-italia.net/sergio-oliviera-could-arrive-for-roma-tomorrow/ Could the possibility of this happening be the impetus of Porto finally considering paying that transfer fee for Eustaquio? Or does another player on Porto need to leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) A good friend of mine, religiously follows the Portuguese League and so naturally we talk about Eustaquio. He just sent me a text stating that Eustaquio could be on the move to FC Porto after all. Apparently, Sergio Oliveira to AS Roma is done. I have seen a few tweets floating around that FC Porto are still interested in bringing in Eustaquio. Many tweets can be unreliable. However, my friend informed me that he just heard it from CMTV Portuguese Soccer Channel. Got to think the rumour has to have legs if its being reported on tv. From a Mexico point of view: Tecatito may be heading to Sevilla.

Wonder how much the option will be because Pacos is only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colliedor Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) As a Porto fan i'm excited and concerned. Segio leaving does open space but there are still other questions. Grujic is still out with injury and I'm not sure when he'll be back. Personally I don't rate him at all but I'm not sure if Porto staff feel the same. Eustaquio most likely competition for a starting spot is against Uribe. Again, I personally do not rate Uribe, but his aggressive style is something our manager loves. Is he willing to bench him? I have no clue. He has done it in the past however, so we'll see. With our current form, I'm not so sure if he's prepared to change anything sadly.
