In the first friendly he played 80 minutes in in a 2-3 loss: https://www.fmf.md/noutate/7673/under-19-moldovakazahstan-23 In the 2nd friendly he played a full match in a 2-1 win: https://www.fmf.md/noutate/7685/under-19-moldovakazahstan-21 He scored a very nice (I like!) goal against Kazakhstan in that 2nd match (the defenders looked like pylons though). -------- If he plays for the Moldova U19s in Georgia in mid-November he will be competitively capped for Moldova and would need a one-time-switch to join our U20 squad in the future. (If he is just a permanent resident and doesn't actually have Canadian citizenship, then I'm not 100% sure if he would be eligible for us in the future) https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/027d-17276508ed76-3b52aa3001c5-1000--2023-24-u19-qualifying-round-groups/ Edited August 22, 2023 by Olympique_de_Marseille DeRo_Is_King, sebdeserio and Borjans Sweatpants 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Ive heard this name before, apparently he’s highly rated by them but others disagree. He will be an interesting one to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a win-win for the player and the club. It’s not their problem that Canada doesn’t offer enough youth camps.

Very unlikely to be in our squad in February Why is he unlikely to be in the squad? To me it seems more likely that he’s just opportunistic and will probably switch to Canada sooner than later if he’s a good prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the long term Moldova doesn't have great prospects but we have lost good players to weaker teams (Vaikla to Estonia, Yankov to currently weak Bulgaria). I just have less faith than you do that he will file his switch away from Moldova within a month of playing for them. With a good shot at their U21s, there is just so much more youth football to be had with them.
