By fun I mean potential duels, January transfers, camp poutine and the qualifiers. I am also being optimistic. I know that for some of us it is difficult to be optimistic after decades of futility. I guess I have drank the Herdman kool-aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There had to be something else going on for him not to be on both the 60 man Gold Cup preliminary roster and the 50 man Olympic Qualifying preliminary roster.

That terminolgy is normally applied to players who emerge in that sort of way into their twenties. If he does get a big move in the upcoming transfer window, questions should be asked by the relevant pro level clubs and national programs about why he wasn't identified as a top prospect at around 16 or so in a Canadian context and had to go back to Serbia.

Obinna Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Would love a Buchanan-Mitrovic duo at Brugge, though I wonder if the competition for places would be tougher than at Red Star? Either way, sound like he's down for the Canada cause, and it sounds like he'll be joining a bigger club. Exciting times regardless of where his destination is.

It's actually not if you know anything about professional paths. Plenty of players don't make squads, get cut, sign elsewhere, make it back. In the real world you can't hold grudges with every coach who didn't recognize your genius. Only in Canada we're not allowed to make such "errors", and our kids can't ever hear the words "put your head down and work". It's only going to get "worse" for our national program by the way, more and more talented kids are going to be left out because our pool and teams are getting better.

Red Star's recent performances in European competition are not drastically different from top Belgian clubs. https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/trank2022.html Main difference would probably be that there is more quality in depth in the Belgian league but that doesn't necessarily make it any easier to be a regular starter if you are at one of the very top clubs.
