I think having a Canadian passport is fashionable these days. nolando and WestHamCanadianinOxford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 4 minutes ago, InglewoodJack said: I have half a mind to think that the player himself or his agent leaked this to get Scotland to wake up to him just like Mitrovic went on Serbian TV to signal to their national team that Borjan and Herdman were trying hard to get him to come play for Canada. Fair point as well InglewoodJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauditYvon Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 And second part of the the tweet It's believed Canada Soccer didn't reach out to Davidson directly, but instead Celtic reached out to people in Canada to advise of his eligibility. Davidson has been training with Celtic's first team and Celtic are eager to give him a new contract. Definitely one to watch. 2/2 WestHamCanadianinOxford, lowlander, nolando and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a little strange that Celtic would reach out, they surely get more press (and he gets more games) if he goes Scotland. Maybe they are worried about Signapore😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going purely on speculation but I think a lot of the kids we lose end up in other national team programs because they (or their agent) reach out to the national organization rather than the other way around. I would think it would be hard to find a resource that lists birthplaces of player's parents. Especially for those still in academies. johnyb and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're probably right, it's impossible to scout every single player who has a parent or so who is Canadian, I'm just imagining a world where Canada has these promising young players playing for top club academies, and we're like... yeah he's good... not TFC II good, but he's okay, we don't really care...

Dominic94 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 17 hours ago, rydermike said: But it's also a case of no where else to play. If he's not good enough for A team (understandable), but maybe was too young to loan (or they want to keep developing him in house), then the 5th tier is the only option. It's like the CF Montreal players who declined CPL loans playing for the U23s in the PLSQ, or Halbouni playing sixth tier Germany for the B team, or Smith playing 5th tier France for the B team. Playing at a level below where they should because of no other options because the A team is just too high. Well Ferdinand just isn’t serious about his pro career they guy wasn’t a regular last year and honestly has wasted a year. Pretty much same can be said for Giraldo and Saliba.

It’s not a rumour it’s been confirmed true. TFC keeps doing it because they hate Canada 😛 and because we don’t have youth camps. On the flip side though their are people in the US teams telling us about Duals in the US. Edited September 30, 2022 by Dominic94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy3 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm curious about the fact that he was born in Singapore, and seemingly raised on Scotland. His instagram biography has just a Scottish and Italian flag in it, so assumedly he has an Italian background as well. I wonder if there were some reason for consistent family relocation (work, etc.) and maybe the family themselves identify as Canadian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally McCoist Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Galindo spoke about him on the latest Northern Futbol episode (27:34 - 34:25). Galindo confirmed from his sources that the CSA is aware of him and Davidson has interest in being part of CanMNT in the future. Galindo believes he is an exciting prospect. narduch, johnyb, Jack1997 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
