I know it is entirely superficial but I would love for us to graduate a couple of players with this sort of height.  An attacker standing 6’6” who is strong in the air would be such a crazy option for a us to have in our back pocket.

I’ve always been interested in following Ongaro for this reason. Even if he isn’t as good as other strikers, having a Peter Crouch/Fellaini type player to cross to at the end of a match when the opponent is packing their box just gives you another option at least.

Jebbo would fit that role

He is 6’3” the same as my oldest.   Trust me when I say that there is a huge difference between that sort of height and 6’6”.

Totally random but you reminded me of Korea's long serving tall striker Kim-Shin Wook who was like 6'6. I just remember him because I read that he's religious and so his nickname on the team was "Church Brother" which I found hilarious LOL

No idea how legit it is, but on Instagram canmntbible is saying that they have received offers from Israel, China, Denmark, and Egypt for him.

Their season is over now. He scored 11 goals in 25 games for the first team between the cup and league play. Finished 16th in league goals for his club who finished 5th in the 10 team league.

Blatant otstrasization of David Edgar because Edgar Davids couldn't handle the confusion.

How did I forget David Edgar. Way more appropriate person to fill the role. Edgar Davids was one of my favourite players when I was younger, so he always jumps into my head lol

I thought you were suffering from a bit of dyslexia and it was a simple mistake.
....Or maybe I'm dyslexic because I read it as David Edgar.

Started today.

According to this had a transfer bid rejected

Atletico Madrid are interested, plan to have him train with San Luis and play his first season with Ottawa.

 

You piqued my curiosity and now you have my interest (however that line goes)

[Atlantic]

Not sure I buy that a 22 year old with 6 goals in 23 games in the top flight of Estonia last season is attracting interest from Atlético Madrid, unless this is a maneuver to save Ottawa from paying his salary - the other clubs interested seem more accurate
