Borjans Sweatpants Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Didn’t see a thread for him, but think he might be worthy of his own given his CPL play and now this.

Markoaleks Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Reason number 857 that a good CMNT youth setup with as many games as possible helps our players get "views" from around the world Add in the cracker he scored in Mexico recently and this helps the pathway for him and hopefully many more to follow johnyb, aredding77, Corazon and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young talent being part of professional leagues is awesome for their development. Corazon, MtlMario, Canuckia and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantic Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Just curious if actually made a summer move, Ligue 1 reserve sides don’t actually play in a league right? To my knowledge it’s like what Brentford does where they just played friendlies against other reserve sides and sometime local semi-pro teams. Edit: Didn’t realize he was actually out of contract, question still stands but he could move right now Edited April 5 by Atlantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they relegated from the 5th tier in 21-22. I guess the tier below isn't tracked well online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Interesting, the games he's already been part of are fantastic exposure but it sounds like Monaco may not be the best move for him if they don't even play in a proper competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borjans Sweatpants Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Wanted to look into Monaco’s Elite Group and found this: https://monacolife.net/as-monaco-launches-elite-group/ Some great stuff in there, including context about where they play (at least in 2022, as they pulled out of N2): “In order to ensure that the next generation have the same opportunity to follow in the footsteps of some of the greats, Monaco will this year compete in the Premier League International Cup, which comprises 12 Premier League academy sides, as well as 12 other elite European academy sides. There is also the potential for the side to face senior French clubs. The club sees this path as the most conducive to allowing the youth to integrate into a senior side that welcomed nine academy products in the last two years, and has been ranked by the CIES as one the strongest teams for developing talent in Europe.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they get involved in this other competitions/friendlies in order to give them some higher level of competition too. I assume if Kevaughn signs he gets loaned out at first. Maybe to National (same level Justin Smith currently plays at, Nice B is also in the 7th tier, ironically) blueseeka, Corazon, Borjans Sweatpants and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL is probably on par with National, Forge probably better than a lot of those teams, plus he can live near home and try and win a title here before moving abroad. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borjans Sweatpants Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Wonder if just because he came back late, or if he’s still over there? Not sure I’ve seen. I know it was mentioned he was out of contract but he’s listed on their CPL roster list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
