Dominic94 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Can’t find his thread, sorry if there’s one. former TFC academy player, was supposed to be a homegrown at a point and was on their radar. Not sure how or why but he’s signed with Crew 2. johnyb, NVsoccer, Xavier. and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Smart from him. There's no room for him at TFC unfortunately. Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM3/MM2/MM Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 From what I understand from MLS rules, TFC would still hold his homegrown rights, so if Columbus wanted to promote him to the first team they would have to trade for his homegrown rights.

So messed up if true. Either sign him or don’t. No way TFC should have any rights for him if they didn’t want to sign him now.

Bison44 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 HAHA, this is MLS. It would be about the 1000th stupid roster rule they have. How can someone else sign him if TFC own his rights?? yothat2 and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can someone else sign him if TFC own his rights?? They only hold his MLS rights, there are several instances of draft picks signing with another MLS2 team and then the team sending a draft pick or a bit of GAM to obtain the MLS rights. Edit: Recent example, Sean O'Hearn was drafted by Minnesota in 2021, signed with New England 2, Minnesota just traded his College rights to TFC, TFC will holds those rights to the end of 2022.

I strongly disagree. They don’t have any forwards right now. If your talking chance of promotion to the first team, the Crew would be tougher to crack imo.

All players ahead of him were signed to the first team and have been much higher rated in the TFC system. Not to mention other youngish players like Shaffelburg and Akinola plus the impending transfer of Insigne and whoever else they bring. There is no chance the Crew first team is going to be harder to crack. Just ask Fraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to your argument, I'll say Akinola, and Peruzza and maybe Kerr (who's being played as winger). Out of those three guys, Akinola is the only out and out, proven to score in MLS, back to defender playing striker. Which is also Jacens style. My point is, TFC should've at least tried to sign him at TFCII since he was willing to sign with the Crew. You don't stop developing players because you "already have a few". The possibility of the lot they have right now to not pan out is very high. 2 hours ago, CanadaFan123 said: There is no chance the Crew first team is going to be harder to crack.

Dominic94 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 I could be wrong but I believe TFC tried to sign him a couple of times but he didn’t think he’d play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Even better, in the spirit of dissecting fan attendance and sweating over every game and every fan I have studied the tape and deduced there were 118 fans at the stadium. Assuming they havnt had any promotions or specials...10$ a ticket (I checked!!), they turned almost 1200 of revenue of this game!! Woooo hoooo!! What a business model....reserve leagues are the way to go!! Sorry JRR, I just had to get that off my chest, nice to see you scoring with your new team. johnyb, Macksam, Approve My Account Pls and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM3/MM2/MM Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I think Russell-Rowe will be as good or better then most of the young Canadians currently with TFC. Top player with the USDA program, leading scorer with Canada U17 and probably learned a lot at Maryland, one of the top NCAA programs. And if I'm not mistaken TFC still holds his MLS rights. (Unless he didn't meet the minimum training requirements). youllneverwalkalone and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is exactly it. The reason why I've said "Is Our Future in Our Hands" or the ongoing discussion of "How long until...MLS to CPL". If you're a Canadian, and you sign your first professional contract with a CPL team. It effects your eligibility status in MLS, meaning it will hinder your opportunity to sign directly to a MLS first team other than the 3 Canadian teams. How is this the top of our system? He (Farsi) has to hope that the Crew have intended to sign him to the first team but due to international roster rules he has to wait it out, perform, and hope by next year he'll have his green card. Until then Canadians aren't "worth" wasting an international roster spot on. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
