Footyeh Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This is a kid who should be starting every single game for Forge, letting him find rhythm and consistency is key. We've seen he can score goals but the constant rotation in the lineup and his position doesn't help at all. It's important to note that he's also rejected a renewal at Forge and his contract expires at season's end so there's no incentive for Forge to push/market him.

Old question, I realise, but Borges doesn't even look CPL squad depth quality the past couple of times I've seen him. Like he was a last minute callup or something, completely invisible. WTH happened to him, anyways? Edited September 7, 2023 by nolando johnyb, NVsoccer and gator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I understand that Campbell has perhaps been more consistent and his goal scoring record is impressive, but Pacius' ceiling is just so much higher. Maybe the competition is good for him to not become complacent, but if I am Forge, I know who I would be hitching my wagon to. toontownman and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the competition is good for him to not become complacent, but if I am Forge, I know who I would be hitching my wagon to. I don't disagree on the ceiling bit, but I wonder if you're Forge maybe you do the opposite? Pacius being a 2001 would have a higher market value, so maybe that's the player you move along eventually? Campbell is 1998 and will be 25 in October. Not sure he's young enough for an MLS side to take a punt on, but maybe Scandanavia (think Alejandro Diaz). I won't go as far as saying he'll be a CPL-lifer, but far more likely to stay in the league imo. Therefore, that's probably who they end up building around, I am thinking. https://www.transfermarkt.us/forge-fc/startseite/verein/68029 Pacius valued at $400k, double that of Campbell.

masster Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Well if you are trying to cash in on him, all the more reason that he should be playing regularly and in his natural position to boost his numbers and value. So in either case, he would be my guy. Edited September 6, 2023 by masster Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Campbell was quite a bit more effective with Pacific than Pacius has been with Forge, at a similar age, but his form has dropped since his move.

I don’t watch a lot of forge so I can’t explain why Campbell just had a quiet season after transferring out. Perhaps too because Forge didn't use him right or enough. This year he's fine and at his former rate. I agree though that his youthful promise has likely slipped by and he's in solid CPL mode.

Likely because both Pacius and Campbell are 9's and they end up being asked to play a significant amount of time on the wings as 7's or 11's. This explains Borges drop in goals as he also is asked to play wide when IMO he is better suited as a CAM (not fast enough to play wide). Anyways...their production, or lack there of, often comes from where they are in the formation and whether they are "hot" or not. Campbell got hot this year in the number nine and as such, Pacius found playing opportunities there limited. Last year was the reverse...Pacius seemed to catch fire and played the majority of the time as the striker. Agreed Pacius has the higher ceiling as a poacher...not fast enough to play as a winger...again just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's sat behind Campbell a fair bit this season so Bobby probably agrees that the latter has been more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, he's also homegrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Pacius to MLS announcement coming up soon. Don’t know if because it’s Bernier reporting that he’s going to Montreal, but I would think that’s a likely destination: https://x.com/pbernier10/status/1735696601933299844?s=46&t=spIaqlQfufAO3HreB1455Q johnyb, lowlander, Canuckia and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
