What a wack-ass move. They aren't dead last, but I do agree that this move hasn't panned out very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Was starved for games, he went and got games, so it’s likely wasn’t a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing plenty for the Crew. He started a decent number of games and was a regular substitute in other matches. Most Crew fans thought he was a useful player and wanted him back. I don’t understand why Second division Belgium was even a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his game time was as a result of a players injury if I recall, he played in a lot of games but an average of less than 50 mins a game. He got almost the same amount of game time in a half season with the new team Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Even though the NT squad was midfield thin this past friendly window, he wasn't called up, so I can't say his club situation has done him any favours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronaldo7 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 If I’m not mistaken, Deinze were one of the favourites to promote when he moved there. The plan was to help get the team promoted and to end up playing in the Belgian top flight. Was a bit of a bold move (sadly, maybe he just didn’t have many options in Europe) but in hindsight, doesn’t look great and has cost him a realistic shot of playing in the World Cup. Of course, these decisions are massive when they are made and it’s too bad when they don’t work out. If he stuck around in Columbus and didn’t see the pitch we would have been eager for him to try his luck in a lower league in Europe to elevate his career opportunities. He did exactly that but clearly it hasn’t been working out. johnyb, The Real Marc and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the only player still in season that has been called, right? Theoretically he could play Tuesday and fly to Bahrain Wednesday and likely be fine to play 45 minutes for the #CanMNT on Friday. @VinceA felt it was a bad look but we don't know what has been negotiated. johnyb and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigandy Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I am curious about fraser. Since he is in season, going to camp poutine seems like 1 of 2 possibilities. 1. Herdman wants him on the squad 2. Fraser knows hes a bubble player and wanted to be at camp poutine to prove his worth. I cant see a situation where he leaves his club to be just a training player like akinola etc. I think its more likey #2 but what do you guys think?

I think he is there also just in case one of the midfielders get injured before the world cup. The camp would get him time to acclimatize to the environment and also in a way to say thank you for helping in the WCQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But JH has said guys 19-26 are going to be there more for team dynamics than anything else, so maybe he fits into that category, perhaps more so than Choinière, who could make a better case based on form/playing level/versatility, etc. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how high his stock will rise, but I think being named to our Qatar roster would help his agent get him somewhere other than Belgium second div. johnyb, narduch and Bigandy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are allowed to call this camp a "Camp Poutine". "Camp Poutine" is after you return from your full Winter break and you've got to get back into shape after eating all that post-season poutine. 😁 Bigandy and MM3/MM2/MM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod818 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) No one talking about Liam Fraser making the roster, Congrats Liam! One of the last to make the roster I'm sure. He doesn't play at the highest level in Europe, but that brilliant pass to David in WCQ will stand the test of time. I'm happy he made the final cut. He also looked good against Bahrain.
