Approve My Account Pls Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 This kids instagram popped into my recommended images out of the blue, not sure what this says about me and how I use my instagram... Just signed for Rayo Vallecano Cadete A's. No idea what this means, not even sure if he deserves his own thread, so maybe @Unnamed Trialist can give better insight. He's got Egyptian, Canadian, English, and Spanish flags in that order. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXwiTzxMSjw/ Edgewater17, Addona, johnyb and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a 2006 born left winger based on this post presumably from a family member. Born in Ottawa and according to this he is with the Egyptian u17 team.

Okay glad to know there's some legitimacy to it. Do we have a team for the U17s? Wonder if we could poach him haha Seems like we need someone to join this Egyptians Abroad group... wonder if there are any more finds in there. Any Arabic speakers on this group up to the task??

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) So he's a Cadete, that is u-17 as said. He has not moved into their u19s yet. So a bit early to say. I see he's been training in Spain since last summer. His physio-trainer is based in the Madrid area Also: Rayo does not usually have one of the better academies of the La Liga teams. In fact, they actually do not treat their academies, or the women, very well, this has been in the news lately. That said, they are in the new Cadete A Superliga in Madrid, and tied for first, so it must be a strong group of kids. https://www.rffm.es/competiciones/clasificaciones?season=17&type=1&grouping=1&competition=13570396&group=13731091&round= I'd rate where Koleosho is as far higher level. Pepple was at a far higher level. Cantave was at a higher level. All the best to him.

devioustrevor Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Him being born in Ottawa gives me a moments hesitation. What do we know of his parents? Were they in Ottawa working for the Egyptian embassy? Because if so, he may not actually be a Canadian citizen, or even eligible if his parents are citizens.

If he wasn't born at the embassy he'd have a passport. Also that's a big assumption. Approve My Account Pls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange place for your mind to jump to... anyways here's his dad's post on him signing the other day with a little snippet of the kid on CTV Ottawa, so considering both he and his dad say he's born in Canada I'd say that's good enough for me and you https://www.instagram.com/p/CXw7kHEIUBB/ Edgewater17, johnyb, Ivan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad, typical, does not mention that they are tied for #1 in the u-16 league, in Madrid, and that there are 16 other u-16 leagues across Spain, one for every region.

Or maybe this 16 year old kid isn't good enough to play for Atletico Ottawa yet? It's not like they have a youth system for him to play in (that I am aware of) so I'm not sure you can count this as a player getting away. Especially if none of us have seen him play yet.

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) 7 hours ago, Atlantic said: He has a younger brother with Getafe as well but too early to start paying attention to him yet First name? Latest Instagram shows he's doing light training and has the cast off. He was a Cadete or U-16 last year, and was brought up into the Juvenil B or maybe C, first of three years eligibility for U19. Another poster has pointed out to me that his brother is younger...in any case, until recently, Ibra was at Las Rozas, and his brother was at Rayo Majadahonda, and both have moved up into higher level clubs, so there's an upward curve there.
