dyslexic nam Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 24 minutes ago, Kent said: David is the only one in this list that it makes much sense that the club wouldn't want to release him. I'm not saying the others will get released, but it's at least feasible that Barcelona doesn't mind letting one of their B players some experience playing some crucial games. Liverpool might be OK with letting a youth player go for a while. Juventus might not mind letting their backup (or is he 3rd string?) youth goalkeeper get some playing time. Wasn't the Dominica game the first game time Busti has had this season? Anyways, the clubs might hold back their players, but it's still my belief that the CSA should at least try to get them to the U20 tournament. At the end of the day, I think most clubs would have to see the benefit of this. These players would be getting tons of minutes in significant, competitive games. That has to be viewed as a positive when it comes to their development, and at the end of the day the clubs all have a strong interest in seeing these players maximize their potential. For anyone currently only seeing time in a youth or B setup, it seems like it should be a no brainer. And like you said, that does make the case of David a bit unique insofar as he has been seeing some first team minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ayo Akinola called to the US U20s.. they have called a squad that is pretty underwhelming so that may be bad news. One guy from Belgium (2 first team appearances in 2 years and a year older than David - wasn’t dressed for Lokeren yesterday). Akinola, even an unattached FC appearance (is that cultural appropriation?). I’m surprised they didn’t get Sarjeant or Weah.. both aren’t in their respective first teams at the moment. Probably doesn’t bode well re Tabla, Millar. Busti is probably a lock.. Juve will want him to get games. Davies is also likely a lock unless Herdman wants him.

No harm in asking, so this makes sense to me. I'm not too sure what the club's interests are i.e. whether they ask the player what he wants. If the player is at all in the first team plans then they won't release him, it's for 3 weeks (and tbh, a player in or near the first team won't want to go). But if the player is really not going to sniff the first team then perhaps they try to build goodwill with the player by releasing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 There's an info sheet on the Concacaf website. It says teams have to enter their lists 10 days before the first game. It didn't say release, but they have it so they should release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stated that I don't think we should. I rather see the opportunities given to players who need exposure. David, Davies, Millar etc... Leave them be to senior call ups. I think we'll be fine against Dominica, St Kitts, Guadeloupe and Monseratt. The challenge will be Panama. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and I’m wondering if that is because they’re working out who the 20 of the 35 are i.e. seeing if they can get a guy like Millar. Can’t see why else it wouldn’t be released. I’ve never seen less coverage for a team though honestly. This roster is going to drop out of nowhere.. no one (aside from us) even knows it’s coming.

There are now 9 days left until our first match. Unless there has been a rule change or exemption for us, the roster has been submitted, it just hasn't been released publicly.
