narduch Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I don't think he could have signed that 4 day deal and sat on Columbus MLS bench if TFC still had his rights. Who knows. Maybe if he signs permanently Columbus will be forced to send some nominal amount of TAM or GAM to TFC. MLS rules are so stupid Dominic94 and Stryker911 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems ready for MLS and is still only 19, so still alot of room for improvement. solsous and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning they have to play with the club during their offseason (I even think it’s within 2 years period) I feel like TFC must have forfeited his rights or they still have them, because with the pandemic, Canadian academies only returned in 2021 and he last played for TFC II in 2019 so it’s not really possible to say he was lost under those rules. True. MLS rules are so murky and seem like they are made up half the time. I remember when Jay Chapman signed a homegrown deal with TFC there was some issue there because I think he was 3 years out of the academy and should've gone into the draft, but he signed a homegrown deal anyways. This article https://mlsmultiplex.com/2015/01/16/jay-chapman-signs-toronto-fc-home-grown-player/ speculated that MLS okay'd the deal because Chapman said its Toronto or Europe. I forgot Russell-Rowe did sign that 4day deal with Columbus earlier this year that narduch mentioned, so his TFC rights probably did expire. Or its just another case of MLS making rules on the fly.

Is the senior team paying attention? We won't cap a guy playing in a reserve league. But if he starts to get more shots at the MLS and starts scoring he may be hard to ignore. Its too bad there isn't a separate Olympic qualifying tournament as he would have bee eligible for that.

Stoppage Time Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 A better prospect for MLS than Theo Bair, I think, at least based off stats and highlights so far. And, no, I have not seen either play. I wonder how Rowe would do in a Scandinavian league. solsous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sad that’s the only way we have camps for this age group. We should frequent u23 tournaments regardless of it being a qualifying year. But that’s an idea, as I’m asking to much.

InglewoodJack Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) He’s probably the MLS player I’m most excited about for us. That’s awesome. I hope Farsi is not too far behind him, and I hope both keep killing it at the pro level. Also excited we can finally start the “JRR to Europe when??” convo.

Big_M Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 TFC had priority on signing him to an mls contract so Columbus had to make this deal to sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack1997 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I’m feeling he’s the next breakout star (Tajon)who has a really good year or 2 in the mls and gets a big move abroad. I know we’re lucky to have David, larin and Ugbo but after that it might be our worst depth position so it’d be great to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
