He won't be in the US team for much longer, could even be phased out ahead of the U20 world cup. Carlos Leatherman at Minnesota is an interesting RB who will likely sign a 1st team contract in the near future, would have been nice to see him with the Canada U20's this year but opportunity missed. Jack Kortkamp, a 2008 GK from Sporting KC who's been with US U15's is a Canadian. Columbus Crew apparently have a top 2008 that is also Canadian named Isaac Tortola. Orlando City have a 2008 LB that is a tri-national of Canada, US and Ecuador I think. Lets hope these kida pan out first before we start worrying. Thats why I think it is so,so, so crucial that we have thee youth Camps to evaluate these guys The CSA is missing the ball here. Footyeh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the boys in Europe, there's a massive difference between youth and senior football. gigi riva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebdeserio Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'd rather call up Zator than a 31 year old walking red card. Don't see the point in calling him up especially since he'd just be a stopgap. NVsoccer, YorkRegionFan, king1010 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastPros Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Good enough to be a regular starter on one of the top teams in the MLS last year. Plays regularly with multiple CMNT members. Plays in the middle of 3 man CBs. Borjan is still our #1 despite semi-regular bonehead plays. I don't see it as a disqualifier.

costarg Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I wish we had the luxury to snub him, but reality is we don't. This guy definitely has some quality, but can be so boneheadedly thick, a loose cannon, a ticking time bomb, they all apply. But he does have skill. Never seen him put the teams need before his own temper and/or stupidity. I doubt he's pass Herdman's mind tests. I'd rather see somone else develop, but we don't have many options and he does bring something we don't quite have at the moment. Good replacement for Vitoria if injured and he's quicker and tougher. Huge plus is he also knows Miller really well, that's a nice perk. gator and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasi Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I rather call up Smith then a 31 yo that has no chance to make the 26 roster. Maybe if he was 25 , why not. Club Linesman and sebdeserio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sose Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 don't you have to be a citizen (with a passport) in order to get called up? I think permanent resident status is different from citizenship. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 He still has to do his citizenship test, the reality is given our current CB depth he would make the team I think. He is possibly a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have a lot of important games until ‘26 so if he can help us in the interim (which he can IMO), then I’m all for it. Plus I wouldn’t say he has “no chance” to help us in ‘26. He’s improved quite a bit the last few years too - he’s good enough to help our backline Fresh Prince of MTL, Shway and Sal333 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather us go younger in the back and bring up players that can be potentially better and be integral parts of the team long term. There are some good yonge kids in mls academies that look promising as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerack Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I agree with most when saying we should go younger, but adding a depth player like this will definitely make us stronger so I’m all for it Vitoria started for us very late in his career and it worked out great for us, let’s hope the same with Rudy one question : how long does it take to apply for a passport after receiving permanent residency?

If he has met his other requirements (time in canada 3/5 of the last 5 years) he might be able to put his citizenship paperwork in ASAP.

InglewoodJack Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Government website says that the current wait is 23 months, so Rudy might be able to play for us in January '25. I know you're able to speed up your PR application if you can prove it's time sensitive, I'm not sure if that applies to citizenship too. That said, having your local MP office call Immigration Canada has a magical way of slashing through a ton of red tape, and being that politicians love soccer players, and Quebec loves our French emigrants, he might be able to have this expedited.

Shway Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) The more the merrier! But the father of the brotherhood doesn’t seem like “this” player would be of interest to him. His focus seems more on the young prospects, and we’ll never know since the media outlets will never ask the interesting questions.
