El Hombre Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 6 hours ago, Obinna said: It's crazy to me that Kerr doesn't have a cap yet. I mean, I get that we basically never play friendlies, but it's wild that a 21 year old with his stats hasn't even gotten a call up yet. Perhaps a big part of it is that he's never been a locked in starter, but he probably ought to be. He's been a sporadic starter and I'm not sure anyone knows what his best position is. It's not like he's a poacher but he's also not someone that cuts in from wide positions. But he does make things happen. He's one of the more intriguing storylines for 2024. If he gets a good run of games, he'll climb the striker depth chart quickly for the CanMNT. It will be interesting to see him and JRR progress throughout the season.

dyslexic nam Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Was in the hot tub so just catching up. Nice goal - really happy for him. If you want to underline why you should be given the start, score your team’s only goal. Hard to argue with that. And a couple of really nice touches. He is at full sprint and during both touches the ball never goes more than a foot away from him - allowing him to move around the keeper and slot it home. I know it bounced but that is still a pretty delicate touch under pressure.

Corazon Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Does really well to hold off his shot until the keepers out of picture. It looks like he kicks his leg up into a shooting motion and then takes one more soft touch around the keeper and last defender.

That touch was immaculate, JRR's was impressive given the speed and things happening around him, this one was just next level. And the customary...... F U Bradley.

Dominic94 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Playing RWB, looks good, he’s high up. He absolutely killed a guy, I think he can do that consistently at the mls level. He’s looking like a winger, but maybe a profile we don’t have. I wouldn’t sleep on him for Copa or taking Richies spot if he keeps this up.

Dominic94 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Bump again but he’s dangerous and making something out of every touch. Looks like a guy who can make an impact in mls and it’s about reps now. YorkRegionFan, canuckgbp, GasPed and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Last of the night: im not sure he’s a RB, he’s still weak physically for the position, but he can easily be a starting winger on MLS teams and they wouldn’t suffer, he’s not the best but he’d be good for any playoff team I’d bet. He can beat guys 1v1 with , trickery and smarts, he may also have some pace. he’s smooth composed and agile. He’s got good vision and IQ. I think he’s finally starting to figure it out. Were it not for Bernadeschi being selfish I think he would of scored a tap in at the end. If he keeps getting minutes he’s going to push Buchanan and make us forget Koleosho and may still end up better than both. He looks like the player we expected all those years ago when he signed, and he looked like a guy who could have came on and subbed tonight and made an impact on the wing. The right side could be very nice if we land LK and then JMR continues his trend, along with Theo TOcanadafan, InglewoodJack, GasPed and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Still only 19. - 2 years younger than JRR and Nelson - 4 years younger than Ahmed - only a year older than LdF (who is seen as a kid) Hopefully he can log a ton of minutes this season and get the reps he needs. johnyb, Borjans Sweatpants, YorkRegionFan and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 If he continues to play as well as he has thus far and gets lots of minutes and Laryea isn’t back in time for the Copa, I think he has an outside chance of making that roster. Lots of “ifs” I know, but I thought he did well in that role yesterday and combined nicely with Bernadeschi YorkRegionFan and TGAA_Star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s always a dark side to a success story… I really loved watching Kobe play and I hope he can get a summer transfer elsewhere is he can’t get consistent minutes in Toronto.

BearcatSA Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 With Laryea out longer term, he has a golden opportunity to etablish himself as the first choice here. He is still a young guy and you can see a lot of instinctive skills with him. There is still a lot of ceiling there, imo. Franklin? I am getting a "just a guy" feel about him, sort of like the Canadian version of RSL's Andrew Brody in terms of celing (that's not a negative because he might be able to forge out a Beitashour kind of MLS career.
