jonovision Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It must have been frustrating for Rea, even more frustrating than it was as a fan, seeing so many of the chances he created get squandered by poor finishing talent at Valour. I hope that Rea gets a fair chance at Montreal next season in the Mihailovic spot. costarg, PegCityCam, MauditYvon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that Rea gets a fair chance at Montreal next season in the Mihailovic spot. I don’t think he will step into the Mihailovic spot at least as a starter. I suspect (and even suspect more based on the Athletic article I read earlier on how CF Montreal is built) that they will look to replace Mihailovic with someone in the league who they think has promise but is under appreciated by his club (Jayden Nelson?). I also think Miljevic will get some time there. I see Rea making the squad and getting similar amounts of minutes as Choiniere gets now and that will likely be the odd start on the wing and possibly in Mihailovic’s role but mostly as a second half sub in those positions. I think that would be a good first year in MLS for him. Obviously, if he can pull a Kone and make a difference, it would be great. Mihailovic’s roll is too important to take a flyer on a kid who hasn’t played at this level before. That being said, the fact they he exists probably makes it more likely they go with the scenario I mentioned above rather than spend on a TAM or DP level player as a replacement as that would give them 3 relatively low cost options to fight it out for time in that position with the hope one of them works out by the second half of the season.

jonovision Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 ^ I agree with all of this. By a "fair chance" I meant that I hoped Rea would be given a chance to compete for minutes, and not stapled to the bench or shuffled off on another CPL loan.

Dominic94 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I’m going to go in a different direction. He’s beyond ready for MLS and will step in and take the spot, they will be tempted to promote and grow more youth after the transfer fees they receive this year.

The progression I see in this kid's game is remarkable. When I first saw him last year I dismissed him as a CPL lifer. When I saw him this year, I was amazed at his game. toontownman, Dominic94 and PegCityCam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 There will be space at CFM. I fully expect him to get the chance in pre-season. I am excited to see how he looks up a level and playing with better players around him. So much to like about his game. Out of the three u21 nominated for the CPL Award, he has been the most consistent in overall team play so I would be shocked if he didn't win it. Guess there is still time for Pacius to hit multiple hat tricks in the play offs! PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least by the end of last season it was crystal clear that Rea, at 19, had some of the best footwork, vision and set piece/crossing ability In the squad. He was dynamic and your eye just gravitated towards him whenever he had the ball. As far as the U21 award goes he's a year younger than the other candidates and imo he's the obvious choice.

His technical skills are obviously levels above the CPL. He does have physical limitations a la Bustos that might put a ceiling on his career, but he should easily be able to play and start in MLS within the next year. yothat2, PegCityCam and Dominic94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'm a York United fan and I would vote for Rea. I'm not sure where my bias is, because on one hand I watched every game that DeRo Jr. played, but on the other hand, Rea got a significant number of his goals against York United, so I was seeing those moments too.

Not sure he would've been considered to play Mihailovic's postion. Moses Dyer was the one playing the Mihailovic role in Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 You're delusional if you think they're planning to replace high-end MLS players like Mihailovic with CPL talent. Rea might get a chance next year in Montreal but it will be as a piece - not a locked in starter. P-O, Xavier., johnyb and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PegCityCam Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Great little highlight package. On top of his varied skill set he's become a very cerebral player over this last year or so. Seems like the game has really slowed down for him. He's able to think a step ahead while not letting that affect his focus in the moment. I know there are a fair few doubters out there of his ability to make the step up to MLS but I honestly think he's not only capable but will do so in less time than many think.
