Borjans Sweatpants Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Does it feel a bit like our prayers have been answered post-World Cup? I feel like the sentiment leaving that was “we need more talent coming through at the CB position” and the Soccer Gods said “Ok here’s de Fougerolles, Knight-Lebel, Stefanovic and a guy you haven’t heard of yet in Chisholm”. They might not all pan out (or play for us) but it’s exciting to see talent coming through. Northvansteve, Ottawafan and YorkRegionFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhh let's see these guys actually play meaningful games regularly and in the case of LDF actually see them accept a Canada call-up. sebdeserio, YorkRegionFan, Pasta88 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. We are miles away from some of these kids. But we are always miles ahead of where we used to be with youth prospects which is promising.

That’s awesome news, I’m high on his potential. LDF is really going to be a hard one. He’s a British kid playing in England- don’t think we should be surprised if/when we lose him, but gosh, what a steal that would be if we can cap him. At least he plays a position where he could realistically come in and start right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is getting lots of hype in preseason but they have other centre backs just signed or injured. And this is Fulham not Tomori's Chelsea with an ex-England player as manager. Of course I have been wrong before. I think it will be one of those awful situations where we hope he doesn't get too good too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call him up now for friendlies and let him know that he'll be an important piece for us at an earlier time than for England. Could be an important piece for us at 20 years old in 2026, let alone potentially Copa next year.

They know him, I’d be really stunned if we lost him. Also helps that we have our boy Oso there to mentor him and recruit him. Lazar is one of the better CB’s for his age in NA, I believe even top 3 from what I’ve heard, he really could be something. LDF looks good but then next thing you know there’s 10 kids from city who are better then him… it’s tricky because there’s just so many. Not saying he isn’t good but maybe he isn’t their best prospect or close to it as they would have called him, if they do than yes he’s going to stick there throughout because of how much the play, just like our boy Jebbison whom we will get around 2025 or 2026 lastest.

I've watched a bit of Stefanovic's games with TFC and he looks very solid. Hoping that that -vic last name doesn't come with a Serbian passport though, don't want to deal with that again. For LDF, totally. I think it's more about what the player thinks he can achieve vs. what's realistic. Even with 10 better City players and some 14 year old Premier League starter that is bound to come out of nowhere any time soon, at 17, starting friendlies for Fullham, if he cracks their team this year and I was his agent, I'd be pumping him up as the next big English wunderkid and tell him to pursue that dream until the wheels fall off; Canada will be waiting to cap him at 24 if anything. Unlike Jebbison or Flores though, I think we can actually offer LDF playing time right away as a contributor, not just a cynical cap. He isn't in the premier league yet, but realistically, how far off is he from Vitoria and Miller if we were to give him the (lol) Bombito treatment and just throw him into the fire day 1? I think we can play him without sacrificing our team quality. Hell, give him the (again, lol) Bombito treatment and play him as a midfielder if that piques his interest too. *the lol isn't a knock on bombito, just funny that he's the guy who got the red carpet rolled out for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
