Shway Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Not saying it’s him, but I do wonder if there’s guys playing at lower/youth levels that would perform on the CMNT stage. I feel like some guys could just be an opportunity away from their career getting the boost it needs via a NT appearance (Kone is great example) Nello and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I'm surprised despite his prolific stats he hasn't been given any sort of chance with the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I think he needs a few senior appearances before he gets picked up, but he should get those next season, and we should cap him soon thereafter. 1 hour ago, VinceA said: I'm surprised despite his prolific stats he hasn't been given any sort of chance with the first team. To be fair, he’s played like 4 games for the B team and I think even that was a surprise considering his sharp rise. guimares is fighting for a Europa spot too, so I don’t think they’re in a position to tinker with their lineup too much.

Borjans Sweatpants Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Not that he has many other NT opportunities (I think maybe Angola from what I can find), but love that in his Youtube compilation titles he states "Top Canadian Prospect" and "The Future of Canada". No shyness of where he's from is refreshing and no massive dual nationality fights needed (or so it seems). Stryker911, Corazon and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Portugal wanted him, they could easily make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking I think it's best to call up guys that are playing senior ball but, if there is somebody who has the potential to be really special, I think a call up right away could be warranted and this situation seems to be one of those special cases. Gold Cup or a Nation's League appearance could do him wonders like @Shway mentioned. Edited May 18, 2023 by Macksam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree if he was a youth player at like Liverpool or Bayern or something, but I don't know if playing youth ball in Portugal for one of the not big 3 teams is worth a call up yet. If Herdman wants to make DMM the next Koleosho and roll out the red carpet because other dual nationals aren't working out, I'm fine with it, but I think we can wait until he plays a couple first team games, then I'd be pretty quick to call him in.

I completely understand this, and agree with it. My thinking just comes with “but what if he does have the talent and just hasn’t gotten the opportunity”….it’s just a thought, but there’s probably others that would deserve a call up.

Would he even play though? Koleosho didn't play- I know he may have been the one to make that decision- even guys like Zator, Waterman, don't play, Corbeanu has barely played any meaningful minutes in ages, etc. I'm fine if Herdman has it in mind that he wants to call up one great prospect and Dan Jebbison says no, Niko Sigur says no, Jesse Costa says no, so on down the list and Michel is the one guy that answers the call, I wouldn't be upset, but I think we're okay to wait. If he wants to play for Portugal, there's nothing we can do. If he chooses Angola over us, then there's nothing we could've done about it, because if he's set on playing for them, he will.

It comes from the fact that the only reason to bring in a 19 year old kid with no first team experience would be to cap tie him to Canada. If he's already intent on playing for us, calling him up as as useful for us as calling up JMR or Sean Rea. They're nice young players, but they won't give you much in games yet.

But that's usually due to parents already having had Portuguese citizenship before Angola declared their independence in 1975. But without knowing the specifics in his case, it's hard to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure its him, and I do remember seeing that he was back in Canada through social media. Are you allowed to bring in anybody to train even if they're not in the 23 man roster?
