Stoppage Time Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 10 minutes ago, An Observer said: What I have seen of Sirois this year, he is already better than Pantemis so I doubt the latter gets his starting job back unless the former’s form dips. I am quite high on Sirois being in the competition for the starting job in 26 for us with St Clair and possibly one of McGill, Odunze, and Goodman if they pick us and start to play regularly at the premiership level. I would not be surprised to see Sirois get sold to Europe in the next year or two Is Sirois capped yet? Is that a concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I still think people are doing Mad Max a disservice by thinking he won’t be the #1 or maybe #2 in 2026. Yeah, he broke his leg - but you don’t get to compete at this level without experiencing, recovering from, and compartmentalizing some injuries along the way. I know it was a bad break but I don’t see him permanently emotionally scarred and timid. I think he comes back strong, hungry and ready to play. And make no mistake, he has been a beast for us and was a very solid #2 and there when we needed him. I know we always have a tendency to look for the next big thing, but don’t count Max out.

I'm not counting Max out but seeing the Canada depth chart for 2026 especially if Borjan isn't there anymore, then really it is wide open as far as which goalkeepers could end up being the #1 and #2 for our squad come 2026 Because after Borjan, yeah you have Crepeau but St Clair and Sirois can easily compete too to be our #1 or our #2 well depending on what our circumstances are by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that I didn't think he was as good with LAFC as he was with the Caps, and they seem to be rolling along without him, so I wonder if they decide to move him once he gets back to full fitness? All things being equal, he is my choice as the No. 1 heir, so hopefully he gets back to full health. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Hmmm, wasnt it only last year we had guys on here telling us we were crazy thinking Sirois might be in Montreals plans? That he "supposedly" was washed up because Valour gave Yesli the starting job at the end of last season?? Seems to have worked out for everyone, Yesli playing well in CPL, Sirois moved on and establishing himself and Pantemis....ieeee forgot about Pantemis being injured. Remember the bad ole days when we hadnt had a CDN keeper play in MLS for 4-5 years?? Now we have 3 starters (Sirois, Stclair, Crepeau) and some backups (Hasal, Boemer, Pantemis). masster, PegCityCam and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 My only caution is that only Crepeau and St Clair have claimed permanent starting roles for an extended period of time and for St Clair it took a couple years of split appearances before becoming the outright starter. We’ve seen Hasal become a starter and lose it. We’ve seen Pantemis become a starter and lose it. We saw Breza unable to hold a starting role down last season. Boehmer has never really gotten an extended period of starts. However, Sirois definitely has a different feel to him then the aforementioned players.

PegCityCam Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Excited for this kid. Turning 22 next week and racking up the clean sheets like when we used to serenade him with: "Que Sirois, Sirois!

However, my post was never about Sirois or any of those other players ability or quality, it was a cautionary reminder that some of our goalies in MLS have been highly regarded by many after short periods of starts and now are backups or in lesser leagues. Call it being screwed over or not, they are off the Canada radar now. That was my caution. Hopefully you understand, it wasn’t a slight on any of them. ps I also think Sirois is better than all the other recent Canadian goalies in MLS aside from St Clair and Crepeau currently.

costarg Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Sirois is Canada’s best keeper at the moment.

Jack1997 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Kinda funny because I just stated how I overreact a lot in the Stefanovic thread but I think Sirois very well could go to Europe at the end of the season, Montreal has shown they are willing to sell and they have another good Keeper in Pantemis. Assuming Transfermarkt is right Sirois has a French passport so could Ligue 1 be on the cards for him? Corazon and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 If the starting keeper finishes the Cuba game healthy tomorrow I doubt we call in a 3rd keeper for what is probably a single game. Sirois is doing great right now at Montreal so I think you leave him there and just go with 2. johnyb and Club Linesman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Not that these stats are the be all end all, but he currently has the 3rd highest sofascore for MLS keepers- first is Petrovic who is apparently tied to Manchester United, second is Roman Burki who is a full 11 years older than Sirois and comes from BVB, and below him you have Joe Willis and Brad Stuver, two of the best keepers in the league. 9th in the league in saves per game, T-8th for least goals conceded, 3rd in clean sheets, 12th for goals prevented. here I was, thinking that we were gonna be watching Sean Rea or Rida Zouhir's breakout season, when in reality, Sirois has been the most exciting thing about Montreal this year. costarg, Dominic94, MauditYvon and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
