Certainly worth calling up for the next Olympic qualifying campaign though, assuming he's interested in playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Has been playing for Danubio in the Tercera as of late. Most recently started on Tuesday against Plaza Colon in a 6-1 win. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 A 22 year old that is starting to to get some starts in top flight Uruguay seems like a decent dual national to pursue, especially given the fact he is a center back. At least an attempt to bring him in to a U23 camp. Danubio is not a powerhouse but has had some recent Uruguayan great players play for them such as Recoba, Forlan, Chevanton, Gargano, Stuani, Cavani & Giminez.

dyslexic nam Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Seems exactly like the type of guy we should be inviting to a camp. Young, CB, and playing at what seems like a solid level (though I admit this is based purely on assumption). In the buildup to 2026 and possibly 2022, deepening the pool of quality young CB’s has to be seen as a priority for the program.

toontownman Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Nice! Transfermarkt wasn't updated when I looked for the most recent two games and they have kind of updated it now, kinda! https://www.transfermarkt.us/martin-amuz/leistungsdaten/spieler/402076 I am not familiar with what the Torneo Intermedio is in comparison to league games? A cup tournament I think? So still first team. If he keeps getting minutes there is certainly an argument for him to be ahead of Didic in the full mens team.

How Amer is on the depth is still to be argued, especially over some CBs in the CPL, without even mentioning Manjrekar....

But I haven't seen him play or any recent highlights - everything is from 2015. Its more so he plays a position in need, and is playing in Uruguay.

Bison44 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well this sort of reminds me of Cordova. Not trying to slag him, but he got talked up alot playing in Chile and in a position we are weak in but since he has been in the program and been in camps etc...ehhhh!/?/???! Is he any better than guys we had languishing in USL, ie Lareya?? Or ZBG or Godinho?? The grass is always greener..and especially when its south american grass. Dont get me wrong, come on down, come to camps lets see what you can do...but I've never seen the kid play, never seen an interview or quote saying he would like to rep canada etc. I am just a little wary...but I would be happy to be proved wrong.

Like Cordova though, this guy is young - still only 22. Great age to build depth (will be 29 in 2026). As a CB, he also plays our thinnest position. For those reasons alone it would be great to get this guy into a camp and see how he looks. This is the sort of thing we may even be able to do on our low-road route to 2022 against some Caribbean minnows.

Bison44 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Sure I agree with all that, but we have guys that are 22 in CPL, USL etc that we KNOW would rep canada. We seem to fall over guys from other south american leagues sight unseen. The guy might not have any interest at all in Canada.
