I think more exciting than anything else is how it came out of nowhere, which makes me wonder who else we are working on behind the scenes. If we can continue our momentum and pick up points this window January could be interesting in terms of other duals. While I don't see us calling and capping dias/Flores they could absolutely come over in the taxi squad as Flores planned last year.

Dias and Flores need to be playing against men before they get the call at this point. I rather Arfield come back into the program than see Dias or Flores.

For sure but would be great to have them in a taxi squad just to train and be with the mens team and see what they can be a part of.

VinceA Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 One thing to note is Nigeria are stacked with FWs at the moment so just looking at the playing field Ugbo may have seen that we could give him a lot more minutes. Herdman has so been quoted by players as always having detailed plans for his recruits. Jedi Ram and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he was in his ear about the Super Eagles, which is more credit to Herdman and the CSA for pulling this off. Who knows what kind of relationship people have behind the scenes though. Particularly between two players competing for time at the same position. For all we know, it could be that the thought of playing with Onuachu with Nigeria drove him to Canada!

Nowadays a year in Canadian soccer represents a lifetime in most other programs. In FIFA rankings We were in the 90s when Herdman took over. Right now we're 49th and can break the 39th threshold by the end of the WC qualifying rounds.

shamrock Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Great news! I saw him play for Roda, he was the only bright spot for them that season. Didn't even know he had a Canadian connection but let's go! Obinna and Bison44 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Now that he's ours can we worry about his playing time? Doesn't appear to be a starter at Genk.

Yes, Corbeanu made an EPL appearance a couple of months after his MNT debut. Still counts. And yes, Dias needs to be closer to/in the first team to deserve a call during WCQ.

Speaking of the Nigerian team, I'm not sure if many of you have checked out Troost-Ekong's YouTube videos. He does vlogs showing some BTS stuff for international windows, it's a cool look at what goes on. Would recommend if you've got 10-15 mins to kill Obinna and red card 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
