SpecialK Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I dont understand why this kid and the other Canadian goalie playing for Spezia Primavera not on the CSA radar/ playing for the U17 teams! How do they not have scouts in Europe ! It's bullshit! I just hope we haven't lost out of potential talent here CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE and BuzzAndSting 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you proposing they hire someone to contact every kid at every youth club across Europe to find out if they have a connection to Canada? matty, ThiKu, Zem and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost to replicate the amount of work the V’s do in terms of research would not be justifiable at all. It’s arguably 2-5 full time positions if not more.

We're supposed to have a scout in every country don't you know? I would not be totally shocked if the CSA weren't aware of this kid's existence, but given the legend of Cristante I'd trust that maybe they have an idea of someone at a big academy with a Canadian passport.

But that's to be seen still... I was just basing it on the fact that some fellow V's were saying that he is one proud Canadian On 2017-12-21 at 2:16 PM, Toje said: He grew up in Italy, but is still a proud Canadian. That's where I was basing this from, but then again this means nothing I suppose @canta15, particularly when success becomes tempting for bigger and better opportunities (cracking Juventus senior team and being number 1 goalie and what can come out of that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the current Moroccan NT is built that way, including Bounou the keeper, born in Montreal. Mind you, they tend to wait until a player appears higher up on some radar, but they have done the job well and are going to the WC. I do think we have to try, frankly. I am still bothered we did not play this past November window, we have to stay active and play every chance we get, with the players we can find. Do others have a feeling of dormancy these last few months? matty, SpecialK and Bison44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Sandor article of OZ's plans for 2018 has made me hopeful for a more active youth set-up this year but did leave Camp Poutine in question which again is a bummer. I'm curious if the previous trend of one game windows will continue until the Nations League start. It'll feel like something the OZ era should be passed by now if it does.

I suspect that once a player has reached a certain level himself, his agent or his family are getting in contact with whatever FA they want to represent as opposed to the reverse, exactly like Kris Twardek's situation. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toje Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Alessandro Busti was called up to an Italian U18 ID camp. He is one of 5 goalies looking to make the U18 team. The Italian FA uses this ID camp to help form to U18 for the up coming year. http://www.figc.it/other/Under18 Gironi.pdf http://www.figc.it/it/204/2540446/2018/01/News.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Is two and a half weeks the Voyageurs record for going from "new European hope" to "playing for someone else?" (OBVIOUS NOTES: yes if he's eligible for us he isn't tied by a U-18 ID camp. Also he is Italian so no hard feelings.) jpg75 and Northvansteve 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
