kingvikingstad Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I honestly thought you'd uncovered the long lost twin of William Saliba who had Canadian ties through adopted parents. Feeling let down now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkRegionFan Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Is Saliba the midfielder that was the most highly touted of all of Montreal's midfielders pre-Kone? Jack1997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, a lot of people high on him. He was seen as the best of the bunch and that’s even with the Zouhir hype. YorkRegionFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Montreal are weird. Lots of hype for many guys but Saliba made no appearance in MLS last year, Zouhir barely played and Assi was shipped off to Cavalry. Assi also doesn't fit in the current montreal system as he's a winger which they don't use. Jack1997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplebanana Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Not that this means anything other than a 'did you know', but in FIFA 23 career mode Nathan Saliba is listed as the worst player in the world at 46. Tied with many at 46 but when you click on sort, he pops up first: https://www.futwiz.com/en/fifa23/career-mode/players?order=rating&s=asc Nowhere to go but up!

YorkRegionFan Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Who made the decision last year in Montreal to send Sean Rea/Jonathan Sirois/Karifa Yao to the CPL? Was it Wlifred Nancy or someone else? I am curiously whether they will send Nathan Saliba onto a similar path.

It was Olivier Renard, he is big on using CPL for development purposes, with their best products going to CPL and the others on the PLSQ team. CF Montreal will be the only MLS club with out a MLSNext Pro team. last year he was pissed that a few players turned down CPL loans, instead they chose to stay in Montréal and play with the PLSQ team.

I wonder if Saliba was one of those players. Looking at their roster it seems he likely was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand is one of them, I believe Giraldo was the other. Saliba could be one of them, but people around the club told me he needs to mature as a person before making a loan move. I.E, he wasn’t ready to move away. MM3/MM2/MM and CanadaFan123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keesean Ferdinand was one, not sure who the other was, thought it might be Girlado but I think he missed another season with injury and won an award from CF for team spirit. Both were released at the end of the season. CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Making waves in camp, he should be in the 18 and may possibly starts. He was once rated higher than Zouhir and Kone. costarg, aredding77 and Jack1997 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterlawrence5 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Saliba was strong with Canada's U15s at Concacaf. That was the same group that beat Mexico 2-0. But missed FIFA U17 due to COVID. narduch, Bison44 and Dominic94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 So Saliba is up first to stake his claim. Doyle was very high on him 2 years ago and thought he would be in the mix… let’s see what he’s got. Rea and Zouhir on the bench. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was surprised to see Saliba but he must have impressed to get the start. Will be interesting to see which if any young Canadian midfielders breaks out for them this year.
