Northvansteve Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Creating a stand-alone thread for Justin Smith. (Apologies if there already is one - I couldn't find it.) Class of 2003. Central Mid. Officially signed with Nice today. Potential Gold Cup call up? NVsoccer, Addona, toontownman and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Probably a bit early but one to keep an eye on. CB/CM so a good area for us. We called Sturring up when he was unattached and Brym before he really saw minutes. Maybe on to include in the extras to get exposed to the squad? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack15 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 We need to cap-tie him. The fact he signed first team contract with Nice is more than impressive toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I thought he was a CB but now he's a CM? Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) So he's eligible for Les Bleus especially being born and raised in France...then well good luck trying to get him to play for Canada LMAOOOOO Edited June 18, 2021 by TGAA_Star dyslexic nam, longlugan and Weng 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) The odds of him ever playing for France are less than 1% Edit: In fact, I would probably say it’s more like less than .01% Edited June 18, 2021 by Atlantic Northvansteve, toontownman, Dominic94 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't ask for a better country for a dual national to be tied to. France has arguably the deepest player pool in the world. This guy is no where near France, nor will he likely ever be. Assuming he starts getting first team minutes, I would expect Canada to be all over him and I doubt he would have to consider holding out for long either.

Looks like Smith was one of two “b team” players getting the start - the rest of the 11 are strong players. Wouldn’t make too much of this but hopeful sign!
