I’d put Corbeanu at RW over JRR. Maybe JRR over Jebbison but that one’s close for me. Saliba should be included somewhere.

Bigandy Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Here is my 23 man roster- Through the middle we seem pretty strong. FB doesnt have great depth. Winger could be good depending on JMRs position and sali commiting. Would love to hear who Im missing and should swap out. Jebbo (20)/JRR (21)/Michel (19) Nelson (21)/sali (17) Colyn (21)/costa(18) Corbeanu(21)/dias(20) Kone (21)/saliba (19) Loturi (22)/ zouhir(20) Franklin (20)/poku( Stefanovic (17!)/Smith(20) LDF(18)/JKL(18) Ferdinand(20)/ JMR(19) (MAYBE SIGUR...)

InglewoodJack Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Taking out all senior team players, I'd like something like this: Jebbison Nelson Colyn Kratt Zouhir Saliba Franklin Stefanovic LDF JMR Bench guys off the top of my head: DM Michel Smith Thompson Vilsaint Pelligrino Dixon Vilsaint Tahid Not sold on Kratt as our best RW, but not sure who else to put there, and I definitely would want Nelson starting, so you need an RW as well. His numbers for Bremen II are insane though. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRR (Jebbo) Nelson Colyn Corbeanu (JMR) saliba loturi (zouhir) Franklin stefanovic JKL LDF I would consider corbeanu a Sr player since he has 7 caps. Nelson and Loturi haven’t truly broken into the NT yet, and LDF hasn’t played a minute for the senior men’s yet, so I consider all of them “youth” player, though it’s arbitrary. Jebbison has never been called to our or any senior team, so he’s a youth player to me. also, forgot to include a keeper, but needless to say, I go with Sirois. Goodman as my backup.

Could even take it a step further and say guys with no caps. This makes it a bit more challenging. JMR takes corbeanus spot. Jebbo for JRR Loturi for zouhir Nelson comes out for who..... I think it has to be a striker like michel and go a diamond 4-1-2-1-2. Unless colyn goes out wide and we move smith into a very defensive 3 man midfield..... maybe dias or kratt comes in..... if we can include sali, that solves the issue.

For sure and theres plenty of ways to look at it. My logic is that the only player who would be called up to our A team based fully on merit is Jebbo. I would argue LDF is also there on merit but am I being a bit bias because he's a dual national? Corbeanu and nelson deserve a shout at maybe deserving an A team call up but no coaching staff has deemed them worthy of it so far..... dyslexic nam and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GasPed Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 On the not-as-positive front, just want to report that the Calgary boys (Waterman, Adekugbe, Kennedy) along with Elijah Adekugbe and a couple others, entered themselves in a local 7 v 7 tournament here (Calgary) last week over their Xmas break. They were the heavy favorites to win, but lost without even making the semi-finals. Not sure how important that is, but not being on social, it's all the news I've got.

He's in Dubai right now according to Social Media. His agent also came out saying they want to resign to Columbus. It's silly season but I think he takes the $ in the middle east to be honest. Is that good news for the CAMNT? I don't know, kind of meh or neutral from my perspective. Doesn't get him closer to either national team in my opinion. I wonder if he sees it differently... johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
