toontownman Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 There will for sure be CPL players. There are too many quality Canadian youngsters to ignore with players mentioned already above. Should be an exciting mix. BCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Team will likely come from these group of players, however it doesnt factor in full senior players who are eligible (Godinho, Cornelius, Brault-Guillard, Millar, Miller, Davies, David, Tabla) GOALKEEPERS: Dayne St. Clair, James Pantemis, Alessandro Busti DEFENDERS (14): Clèment Bahiya, Diego Gutierrez, Kadin Chung, Chrisnovic N'sa, Ndzemdzela Langwa, Matthew Baldisimo, Julian Dunn-Johnson, Émile Legault, Rocco Romeo, Kosovar Sadiki, Daniel Kinumbe, Scott Kennedy, Callum Montgomery, Thomas Meilleur-Giguère MIDFIELDERS (11): Shamit Shome, Mathieu Choinière, Liam Fraser, David Choinière, Tristan Borges, Nicolás Galvis, Terran Campbell, Noah Verhoeven, Noble Okello, Kris Twardek, David Norman Jr, FORWARDS (7): Tajon Buchanan, José Hernández, Theo Bair, Jacob Shaffelburg, Dario Zanatta, Gabriel Boakye, Adonijah Reid Edited May 22, 2019 by Shway Corazon, Shortdutchcanuck, CanadaFan123 and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reign Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) How does Elijah Adekugbe stack up against the other midfielders in his age group ? Kid is an absolute boss in the midfield in the CPL. Probably one of the best midfielders in the league for me at this point. Edited May 21, 2019 by Reign toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adekugbe is a 1996, so he won'T be compared to the players for the U23 team for the olympic qualifiers. toontownman, Blackjack15, Reign and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I really want to see Estevez make this squad. I really like that kid's quality on the ball. Cyrus Rollocks has to be considered as well. Dude has crazy pace. Sometimes you need a guy who can get in behind and stretch the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Estevez already get called up (but not captied) by Chinese Taipei? I think he was actually the first international callup for CanPL.

lazlo_80 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Not sure it's been mentioned but considering Okello got a call up to the provisional 40 gold cup roster, and he's nowhere to be seen on the TFC roster I could see them giving him up to get minutes with the U23s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktf Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The CPL really will be a blessing for this team. It would be a shame if a significant chunk of the roster does not include them. What else can you ask for but guys like Chung, Verhoevan, N'sa, Langwa, etc. who are probably going to have played at least 20 to 25 full professional games and be on form when this tournament starts? Not to mention, Chung, Baldismo, Verhoevan and then Langwa and N'sa should ahve chemistry from playing the whole season. Sprinkle in some of the guys actually playing at MLS/higher levels and that is great. What would be incredibly disappointing is guys who are signed by TFC, but do not actually play going instead. Or maybe higher profile prospects who again do not necessarily play at a high level. BCM, Obinna and Blackjack15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I agree that for the selection of the U23's, we should be looking at experience ie players who perform on the professional level over potentials. That said, we have so many options now, that I don't think we'll see a lot of CPL players in this team. Of course there will be a few, but we have players in MLS who'll undoubtedly be chosen over CPL-players. Or players with a couple years in USL.

I’ve only seen three York 9 games but Estevez has stood out to me as a player way out of his depth. He has a little technical quality sure, but it’s clear to me why even Chinese Taipei declined to cap him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtownordinary Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 A couple other guys not mentioned and maybe somewhat forgotten would be Alex Comsia (DF) starting regularly in USL with North Carolina, Mathieu Laurent (DF) starting regularly for Birmingham in USL. And there's the slightly forgotten TFC trio of Aidan Daniels, Shaan Hundal and Robert Boskovic who are on loan at Ottawa Fury. Although none of them seem to have been getting very regular minutes.

Shway Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Aside from how the U20s performed, I love the overall development of the entire program. We're literally in a revolution where we are seeing the best teams from youth to men. The U23 team coming, should be our best team yet with majority of the players getting substantial minutes, and are not just starting their careers. Im excited for the now, and for the future where we become a CONCACAF powerhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well right now he’s listed as France but has never played a game for them or called up. So I don’t think he has to use a one time switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
