rydermike Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) He's been one of the most consistent players for TFC2 this season from the matches I've watched. Composed on the ball, leads the team in assists, and has a couple of goals. I could see him getting a 1st team contract this summer, especially if Laryea moves to Europe, as they'd need a RB replacement. Here's his goal today https://twitter.com/TorontoFCII/status/1451648643283435523 Edited October 22, 2021 by rydermike narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youllneverwalkalone Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Pretty sure Jermaine Franklin is from Calgary and Kobe is not his kid. James F, however, no so sure. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still only 22. johnyb and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOcanadafan Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Definitely lots of promise. But TFC will do what TFC does and bring him up to sit on the bench behind Auro and new back-up RB Marshall-Rutty… hopefully he can escape to Europe.

CF MTL dresses 6 Canucks a game and they don't even have to speak French. We'll take him off your hands.

BradMack Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 What do you guys think about a CPL loan? Has to be a step up from TFC2, and getting real pressure minutes next year will help prepare him for MLS. Seems like a logical next step as he's a star in USL2, but probably not going to get minutes in MLS. Need to keep him developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lower level than CPL though so my point stands I believe. But like others I doubt TFC sees it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Perruza was first team (with a pile of goals) a couple years ago when he was 18 in USL-1. So it is possible. I hope franklin can progess even better and at least get on the TFC bench ASAP. Hundal is 22 now....better late than never but both need to move up and keep it rolling next year.

Well assuming Laryea is sold… Franklin should be able to step right in… and given that Morrow is gone… there’s a spot for him… Auro, Lawrence, Franklin and Laryea..

Bison44 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 That would be great, but I thought the same last year...penciling in young guys for TFC. The way TFC does things, its never safe to assume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Yeah, the idea that some young gun is going to just step into the lineup seems pretty optimistic. I haven’t seen much to suggest that will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't get the lack of love for Yao with the success he had this year on loan with Cavalry. Give him a strong start with Montreal in next season and he's on the fast track to Herdman's squad. canuckgbp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier. Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Was the standout player on TFCII team last year. With Laryea gone he could see him rotational minutes this year. Also probably the starting U20 RB Edited January 6, 2022 by Xavier. Northvansteve, aredding77, Corazon and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
