VinceA Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Looks like the US is having another U23 camp. Canada on the other hand is content to let another U23 cycle go to waste. This is going to be the U20s all over again. First time the team meets will be a week before the tournament and then they're gonna be shocked when they crash out.

Bison44 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 No, it'll be us that are shocked. And we'll blame Biello (crap coach), roster selection(my pet peeve player wasnt included), say our kids are too "entitiled", blame the MLS academies (not enough european based players called) etc etc etc. If we want the next generation to have a different culture, different attitude, how about putting a little priority/a little money on these teams, send the best we have and let them start a winning tradition as teenagers. Start something they can carry on into the full mens team, and not just a history of crashing out of these tournies for their entire youth carers BCM and Kusch to the Corner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Would much rather we had an U23 camp and friendly in November than the possible CMNT Friendly. God forbid the CSA could or would give us both. Perish the thought and the pennies they sit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtownordinary Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Another name that should be under consideration is Malik Johnson. I haven't seen him mentioned recently in the thread but the former TFC2 player has been playing in Tampa Bay this season. I think he was injured or at least out of favour at the beginning of the season but has put together a nice run recently. 15 appearances and 3 goals and 5 assists in the USL Championship. I think mostly playing as a winger. Shortdutchcanuck, Bison44, Shway and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HochelagaFC Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Harry Paton is a player I think deserve a look for this team. He is getting minutes for Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. He started today for the first time in the league and played 90 minutes in a 2-1 win. He seems to be highly rated by his manager : https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/ross-county/1822905/paton-staking-claim-for-staggies-midfield-berth-says-kettlewell/amp/ LUFC, SpecialK, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing in League 2 not too long ago, now he’s in the premier league. Zannata has been all over the place as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paton has always been with Premier League clubs, he has just spent time on loan with Stenhousemuir. Zanatta was with Hearts for four years but spent most of his time there on loan with three different clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Yeah it's good system. At least the youngsters get to pay a lot. Most of the lower-league clubs are happy to get these kids! I think Zanatta got a bit out of luck after giving it another shot at Hearts, it then being a bit late in the season for most clubs. Now he signed with a lesser club than he could have IMO. Still he's getting a lot of mileage in the Scottish leagues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sorry I meant to have that detail in it. It is a U23 best XI. If there are players too old for the U23 qualifying I'm sure it's because this is meant to be like MLS's 24 under 24 or something, not actually related to Olympic qualifying.

BFBF Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The Canpl makes me hopeful for youth tournaments. I think the best part is we don’t have to speculate weather or not younger players can play against older opponents. For example, I wouldn’t be surprised if Attardo got a call even though he is only 18. In the past, even if he was in an MLS academy, he would have been a “kid” and “too young” for the tournament. But he proves that he can play against even the biggest CBs. Either way, with Bair, Shaffelburg, Ongaro, Campbell, Attardo, Borges, and Verhoven I am not worried about our front line... it’s crazy to think these are our “second tier” players at this age group...

baulderdash77 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 What we really need is some good CB, LB, RB that are young to really emerge. We haven’t had a star defender come up in a while now and it’s concerning. It’s also strange that we’ve always been developing young midfielders and defenders and suddenly it’s all wingers and strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
