Bison44 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 This just irks me. Literally the 4th post on here about him is the training stint in europe (at age 17) with wolfsburg and a story with the details on the transfer attempts that TFC turned down. Obviously they saw something in him same as we did. He'll be 23 this summer and looking to salvage his career, its a real shame. Dunn and Romeo fizzled out as well. Sighhh. narduch and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of youth players in Europe fizzle out as well. If he had gone to Wolfsburg he might not be any further ahead than he is now.

He's been a pro for a while now. Ya I don't know, not sure i'd take what anyone in TFC's staff feels about a player into consideration for anything.

True but TFC would have the money and there would have been more space for FILL IN BLANK HERE, and he looked promising too. 😉 Kent and An Observer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the completely belligerent outside it just seems it's all mental and application issues. He has all the tools. He needs game time to grow consistency into his game though.

Obinna Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Inter Miami? Hmmm On one hand, it's very encouraging that an MLS took him in for training. He can absolutely have a career at this level, given the right situation. He may need a few breaks here and there, but it's definitely within the realm of possibility. On the other hand, it's Inter Miami. Jay Chapman found minutes hard to come by down there. David Norman Jr. never even got a sniff down there. I wish him all the best, whether he sticks in South Florida or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Strange thing is, Chapman got the career highs for starts and minutes with Inter right before they cut him. I am wondering if they are bringing him in with an eye to shifting him to a CB like toontown said?? Recycle him at another position...maybe?? At least he gets to spend some time in Florida.

And Inter Miami seems to be team a in flux in the player personnel turnover department added to underachieving big name players. More pertinent to the topic, hopefully Okello can find a landing spot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Whoa. This could be huge. No reason he can’t break out like any other Canadian who showed flashes at TFC and grew elsewhere. A change of scenery will be great for him and he has all the potential to be a senior Canada player in the next year if he can shine. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does well and sticks with Inter Miami but like I said but he was just not good enough with TFC , maybe a change of scenery will do him well let’s see.

An Observer Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 For me, he has all the tools but isn’t aggressive enough nor does he seem to have an engine to get around the park for 90. One is coachable and the other down to fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
