PiedPilko Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 XG has Sirois as a slightly above average shot stopper and DSC slightly below. Very early on, but Crepeau has been slightly below since he got to LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil03 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) This one is probably going to be controversial but I honestly think Sirois is the future. Like, the guy is only 21 and already better than St. Clair (based on my sample of St. Clair's play), and his upward trajectory is just ridiculous right now. He was playing in CPL last year and he is now in the long list for MLS player of the year. I do feel bad for Crepeau but that's the kind of injury its very much to fully recover from as an athlete. As for McGil... well, him being in a Premier League team is obviously great, and if he would only play rarely for them then that would be enough for him to be in contention but the issue is that he hasn't played at all for them yet, which is a concern IMO. Its not going to happen right away but by 2026? I strongly believe he is going to be our best bet and he might be until like 2034. At the very least his level of play combined with Borjan's age, the questions still around Crepeau and the fact McGill hasn't even seen the pitch above Brighton U-21, despite being two years older then Sirois, ought to have the CMNT give him some call-ups to integrate him to the ground as early as now, if not all the time then at least have him alternate with St. Clair.

There is no controversy. Anyone that has watched would agree. The only way anyone doesn't agree or see it is basing the decision on 2022. It'll take a while for Crepeau to shake off the rust, DSC has been very on/off. Borjan was strong for us, however even at his best we were always worried about brain farts, either way, he is not the future. Sirois's baseline is is higher than the options, and his ceiling is a lot higher. McGill or some of the others could also take a major step up, which would be amazing, but if an important match was played today I'd go with Sirois. It's shocking he isn't on the list. I assume Borjan was already verbally given the guaranteed start so they didn't see the point. Corazon, Shway and Borjans Sweatpants 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Vizela has sold Buntic and could mean more opportunities for Bursac. He did get on the first team bench quite a bit in the second half of the year, and could get a chance to compete for a first team spot.

TGAA_Star Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 For me it is Crepeau, St Clair, Sirois, Gavran, McGill and Hasal...but at goalkeeper we are so deep it is crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these guys are particularly convincing national team starters. WestHamCanadianinOxford, MtlMario, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Swiderski and Pavela look like great prospects so far for our U20s. Let's see how they do in the next few months. Canuckia, Borjans Sweatpants, Buchta and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Speaking of our depth, Nikola Bursac might get a look at Vizela this year. Also about Bursac, just noticed he was born on 9/11/2001. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vizela have been active signing players and none have been another GK, good sign for Bursac so far. Canuckia and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
