Dominic94 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 CB 2006 Born, part of the TFC Academy He was a standout at the U17’s, he is very likely to be one of if not their next homegrown. He is a CAN/USA dual nat. He is very highly rated and one to watch, Europe could be an option however, I think he has a Euro passport. He is training with TFC and is likely to be signed sooner than later given their CB depth and how good he is. Toronto has never really been known for their good CB’s or CB depth minus Maving, so I think he might actually get minutes. One to watch. toontownman, Corazon, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebdeserio Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Liked what I saw from him at the u17s but Hedges and Rosted are as solid a cb pairing as TFC's ever had and O'Neill and MacNaughton are good cover options so not sure he gets many minutes this year.

Shway Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Did he sign a first team contract? We gotta limit these youth threads in the CMNT section and use the under utilized https://www.canadiansoccernews.com/forums/forum/35-players/ There's gotta be some kind of graduation process or something......something that bumps a player to this part of town.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 If he's good enough for MLS he's unlikely to be going anywhere near CanPL. Would be a different story if he was a CF Montreal player. Jack1997 and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully I'm for merging both tbh. I get the issues though. I never even think to use or look in the players forum as its feels more natural to be in here. Likewise in the womens forum. Players forum always seems to be a bit pointless, thats not to say it should be though if things are geared differently with expectations? 🤷♂️ Edit: Also doesn't help our player pool is exploding every year!

Stoppage Time Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 If this young player is not headed straight to MLS minutes with TFC, then a loan to CPL would be quite appropriate. A 16 year old getting regular (earned) minutes in CPL would certainly help Stefanovic more than a bench or grandstand spot with TFC. yothat2, toontownman, Corazon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL is higher level so I would choose that if he can be certain of starting minutes. If not, better off starting in MLSNextpro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 It doesn't really matter what we think is the better option or higher level. TFC and the Whitecaps are ploughing big money into their Next Pro teams as their main player development pathway between the academy level and MLS senior roster.

Curious about this kid. Still just 16 years old (until Aug 10), attracting attention, and plays CB. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next year or two - and one to watch if he ever pops up in a Canadian youth game.

He captained the u17s in qualifying so I assume he will pop up in the World Cup later this year interesting that de Montigny made the All-Star game as Montreal doesn’t have an MLS Next Pro side (where I believe Stefanovic and Badwal have been primarily playing).
