Olympique_de_Marseille Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) American/Swiss and now possibly Canadian! He is a CB with the worst team in the Swiss Super League, FC Stade Lausanne-Ouchy. Has repped the U.S. at the U23 level in two friendlies back in March 2019. Played half a match in the first: https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2019/03/u23-mnt-falls-to-egypt-in-first-game-of-2020-summer-olympic-cycle and came in at the 65th minute in the 2nd match: https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2019/03/us-u23-mnt-battles-netherlands-to-scoreless-draw-in-spain I assume that now that 5 years have gone by since his last call, he is trying his luck with us. ---- Only video interview I could find is from 4 years ago (for those who want to know what he sounds like) Edited February 13 by Olympique_de_Marseille Borjans Sweatpants, GasPed, Trois Reds and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borjans Sweatpants Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Found this looking up info on him, looks like he had English interest in 2019: https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/wigan-athletic-eyeing-up-transfer-swoop-for-defender/ “Able to play as a right back or even drop into the defensive midfield …” Defensive midfield you say… johnyb and GasPed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Worth keepin an eye on, but I am not very excited about this one to be honest. IF he's eligible and committed, then sure let him compete with the rest of the medicore CBs in the pool. Have never seen him play, but being a starter in the Swiss league on a team that's bound for relegation doesn't scream cap tie now. If he was doing this as a teenager then I would be more excited.

If his team was midtable and it looked liked he had continuity, that'd be where we've seen Millar and Corbeanu, plus Daniel Imhof years ago, and then he'd most definitely be worth a look. johnyb, Olympique_de_Marseille and Corazon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, he'll be 26 in a few days. We brought in Frank Sturing and I think we will bring in Lucas Pos but at the moment I'm not sure he will end up getting more caps than Sturing did.

Nate3322 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 He'd be a decent depth piece at best. Playing for the worst teams in Switzerland, and he's not been a stand out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather give these kids some nat team time then a 26yo journey man. toontownman and Pottsy3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 If he was an exciting prospect he would already be playing international football. Still with Vitoria likely in his last year internationally, he could bring some different experience and help shield some of the younger players emerging like LDF, JKL, Bombito etc. I do think we likely have better options but another one to deepen the pool doesn't hurt.
