I think he just turned 22, but point taken!

You are right, turned 22 in May. I had it in my head that last season was his 22 y/o season and this was his 23. Still not the 20 year old who (for a very brief time) looked like Blackpool’s most lethal offensive option and may have helped them stay in the promotion conversation.

The fact that Grenada lost Pelistri (ManU sold him to Greece, surprisingly enough) who was starting ahead of Corbeanu in LaLiga, and now in a division below, he’s a bench player playing barely anything is a flag. He didn’t even get an uptick in playing time after he scored that banger against Villarreal in that game where they got demolished when no one else showed up. 
 

I’ve heard fans say he’s too selfish with the ball and can’t play with teammates, but hard for him to play solo or as a unit when he just doesn’t play. Short of showing up to every practice completely plastered, I don’t know what could be holding him back so much. He’s 23 now, hardly an unknown quantity at this point.

I don't think you can call him a bench player after two league games. But I do agree he has to fight to be a starter and not be satisfied with scraps. 

In many ways this year's Granada in 2nd is better than last year's in La Liga.

Came here really because I saw the callup this morning before I'd seen his transfer had gone through.

What's good for him is he'll have a whole season, after this summer break, he'll be in form all winter.

If he’s not a bench player, it is strange if he is one of their key players, for him to play 27 minutes one game and unused sub the next. For him to be bought from a premier league team, having all this success in Switzerland, if they don’t think he is starter quality in LL2, that is a problem. The season is young and he will still get his opportunities, but for him to reach his potential, he’s going to have to have a great year, and at least after two match days, it’s not great. 
 

Anyways, to get things back to Choiniere, I am excited to see him play. It’s also nice that he accepted the call for Canada- he’s probably in Europe as we speak, so he’ll have to fly back here for a week, then fly right back, playing a club game, then two national team games, then back to club. I think he would’ve been more than in his right to reject the call given the transfer.

He turned his Grasshopper move into a move to La Liga. I wouldn't be so dismissive. 

He most likely wasn't called because he isn't playing enough 

Not being dismissive -- quite the opposite, actually. I think Corbeanu should get a chance. I understand he needs more minutes, but he wasn't selected even after killing it for Grasshopper.

Now, we have a guy three years older in Choiniere with no idea how he will do in Switzerland, and he is considered at worst a bench midfielder for us.

Antics and theatrics aside, De Paul was probably the best player on the pitch that game.

Fyp.  Or to paraphrase Winston Churchill, "Never in the field of human conflict has so much been made of so little by such a weaselly faker."

I don't know the man,  do you ?   It is such a competition when you get angry you lose it,  you lose it in the game of football?  

You can't say we kick Canadians out of the park as some commented before about Honduras Guatemala etc ,  we are a different animal we are the world champions,  R E S P E C T ,  and remember we got robbed Vs the Netherlands ,  and in the France final a bit too,    the penalties ok the saudies wasn't but Lautaro's.

The thing I actually do respect about De Paul was that he very much owned his weaselness.  "Yes I dove, yes it was fake, it's part of the game, something I'm good at, it helped the team, we move on."  So even though I don't like it, I can respect him.  Sort of.

I never support colonial countries none of them in football imagine watching Holland Vs Spain final,  any bit the the other team can take from one of the colonial countries I'm happy about.  

I support Brazil after Argentina or any other Conmebol country ,  from CONCACAF I like Jamaica and Canadá and Haití Cuba too,  USA is kind of an underdog in men football so I don't hate them at least and Mexico they are a laughing stock,  

I don't hate Australia nor NZ and from Europe Ireland, Wales Scotland  and Greece are my teams , the African countries I support them all even though some are really streetwise.  

So I will always expect Germany Italy France England Spain Netherlands Belgium Portugal and Japan to lose tbh!!!!!!!!

Why Mathieu Choiniere choosed Europe? Here's all his explanations!

 

[ahmedou]

If he plays the same way he plays  for Canada soccer with his european team he'll succeed in Europe. No doubt about it.

He's totally another player when he put the national jersey. 

I want to see this Choiniere's version every game. This is the Choiniere that I like.

[toontownman]

Incredible performance today. He really showed he can step up to international level.

I am so much happier about our CM depth afterd today, Sigur committing and the u20s looking promising.

You forget how he played under Nancy. Choiniere is one of those unfortunate players who shines under good to great coaches and is simply okay under subpar coaches.

Not on the team sheet for a Swiss Cup game today.

Been out of the loop recently, are there registration issues?

 

They do acknowledge his minutes for us.

I just assume he is being rested. He gave so much over the international break..
