toontownman Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Even for concacaf that was bad. Was there maybe a foul or something. There is nothing in between the linesman and Okello. I don't know how I can watch a concacaf game and each time say this is the worst officiated game I have ever seen. *Seeing as I posted the above in the wrong thread. I will continue the Singh Praise.* Coming out party for him. Give the man a contract now!

Honestly unless his parents were members of the soca warriors version of the voyageurs I don’t see how not. Trinidad will never qualify for another word cup - I can confidently say that. With the new CONCACAF teams on the rise they are far behind. Dominic94 and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 No idea where his loyalties lie but I am not sure why we wouldn’t be making a significant effort to recruit a strong young defender who can play like that. We complain about our depth at CB - well here is a kid that can ball. Nate3322, Shway, Dominic94 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdude Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Was immense today considering the circumstances. Confident and decisive for the most part. Also, anyone notice that amazing 60 yard ball out of the back on to the wing? We need this kid in our system.

Bdog Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It looks like he spent basically his whole life in Canada, despite his T&T appearance he doesn't sound look like a long shot to play for us. I'm sure he'll represent us if he got the call, I want to finally get excited for another Canadian TFC CB. Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can expect a full call up for t&t after this probably lol If he gets more minutes maybe herdman will fire up the zoom. Unless Herdman is completely incompetent, which, when it comes to recruiting guys to the program, he's hasn't shown to be so I would really surprised during the next international break if he choose T & T when both countries call him up.

One American Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 TnT is one of the richer island nations, due to oil. They're expanding the WC. I wouldn't say it's impossible for them to make it. But it won't be regular for them. Dominic94, johnyb, Kent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one performance. At the same time there is a strong possibilty he doesn't see another minute until after June. Does Canada call him off one performance ahead of the 10-12 others ahead of him, for a crucial set of games? It's potentially a bit of brinksmanship and not completley straight forward situation. Hopefully Herdman or someone from the CSA reaches out. Even if he wouldnt be considered for May/June we could convince him he can play his way into future plans and maybe even the gold cup. I would expect T&T to be calling him tonight. Canada might wait, right or wrong until he gets a few more appearances for TFC. Hopefully they touch base to tell him to wait and commit to us. Looks like he had promise. What do people think is the threshold to warrant a call up? He would have to start 5 more games imo or at least get 5/6 appearances before the qualifiers and play well.

They short termed him twice, that long term isn’t far now. It was him for a reason, they like him. Could be as simple as moving on from a CB/player, we’ll see him before June. Statement performance tonight. toontownman and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there is one for us. We are weak at CB and he plays that position and put in a good performance tonight so that's all it takes really. toontownman and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Considering he was born in Canada, plays for a Canadian side stacked with talent in his age group who are likely his mates and future MNT teammates, plays a position of need for us on a national team that has depth almost everywhere else and Trinidad are pretty weak at the moment, I think he is a good bet to hold out for a call up by us. toontownman, N1ckbr0wn, Ruffian and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certain he will get a first team contract I would imagine. Zavaleta days are numbered and Omar Gonzalez/Mavinga get hurt quite often. Julian Dunn should get some playing time too.

johnyb Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) A simple call from JH to all the Canadian TFCers, including Singh, congratulating them on their performance might be all that's needed at this point to plant the seed.

Bison44 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 They hit it on the head, he lives here, played on a CDN team, has friends from academy playing on CDN youth and CMNT team. Herdman et al has already made the rounds to the MLS academies, if he hasnt already been approached something is seriously wrong there. Would he really have to file a one time switch?? As for threshholds of calling, if he signs with big club, gets a couple solid outings for TFC and/or plays well with TFC2 for the rest of the summer, why not? You'd be calling him for a position of need and it would still be based on his potential. We've called plenty of guys like that based on potential (Waterman/Zator/Didic). If come summer they are still high on him, give him the last roster spot and bring him into the program eh??

LeoH037 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Upgrade from Zavaleta tbh... younger, higher ceiling, and homegrown. I can't see him not getting his fair share of playing time. T&T will surely be after him, and we can't afford to lose a promising CB, specially if he starts getting serious minutes with a good MLS side.
