narduch Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Not on the bench today for Nice in Ligue 1. Edit: Smith did go a full 90 yesterday for the Nice reserves in a league match in the 5th tier. They lost 3-1 to Furiani https://www.ogcnice.com/fr/article/119672/la-reserve-battue-a-la-maison.html Edited November 7, 2021 by narduch Xavier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Observer Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think Adonijah Reid played youth for them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Not that he will ever play for France barring a massive change in his development path but I find it interesting that in FIFA 22 he is already listed as Canadian. He was not born in Canada and has not lived here so I wonder if he was personally asked by some EA French representative what his nationality was and he deiced to tell them Canada. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense why he wouldn't be listed as French. Edited November 8, 2021 by Atlantic N1ckbr0wn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I can definitely see him in our provisional squad for Qatar should we qualify but as far as making the final cut, probably not but for 2026 most definitely he will be there.

Obinna Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 With January looming it would be timely if he started breaking into the Nice squad now. A young European based defender/midfielder would be a welcomed sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantic Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Nice have a lot of midfielders and some forwards who can play in the midfield. I wouldn’t count out him picking up a few minutes of senior play at some point this year but it’ll be very hard for him to be a regular bench player. I think he might following something similar to Corbeanu albeit at a different position: at 18 train with the first team and make the bench a few times before the following season going on loan lower down domestically.

Definitely seems like a kid we should get a look at ASAP. Not assuming anything about an actual cap or anything but he seems like one of the key prospects we should be assessing (and building a relationship with). Hopefully the January camp/squad/whatever allows us to get a look at some of these guys (Flores, Jebbison, Dias, etc are others that could be called into a non-committal camp). A chance to play with/against some of the senior guys could seal the deal in terms of their interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 It's interesting that if this guy had actually come out for Canada people on here would be very upset with his lack of playing time/how Nice is screwing up his development by sitting him on the bench and never giving him a chance. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
