Corazon Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Given we will be without Osorio, Wotherspoon, Atiba, I’m starting to think we can expect a few unexpected faces. I expect Kone will be one. Perhaps Nelson? I’m starting to think we’re even going to see Fraser. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal this season is really a great story. As a TFC fan, I’m jealous… they’ve built a TEAM the right way. Watching them a week and a half ago at BMO I’d say with the exception of the first 10 minutes that saw them trailing 2-0, it was probably the finest and most complete performances I’ve seen from an MLS team over the years. It’s great to see Kone getting a chance (and taking it) to flourish with this group. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top cheese Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 if the team is fully healthy i would hope that they still bring 30-32 players to camp. I think they have their 23 picked it just comes down to the 3 players they need extra. The build up to a world cup will be valuable for young players even if they just train. I also expect that Nelson will be moving to europe soon. Jack1997, toontownman, Stryker911 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Absolute joke that he wasn’t credited with an assist on the first goal last night. What criteria would disqualify an assist? That’s about as clear cut as it gets. Milijevic had an assist on the Wanyama goal last Friday that was the same. Anyone able to explain this?

Maybe it took a slight deflection before getting to Kamara? No idea. MLS could add the assist later, I've seen that happen in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, a deflection taking away an assist but not a goal is nonsensical. Jack1997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal333 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I've been a little hard on Kone but I have to say last night's game was the most complete game I have seen from him. Offensively he was clinical and defensively he was masterful. His attention was 100% on the game all night long. He made one errant pass in the game and it was when he was under pressure and instead of passing to the CB he attempted a pass to the winger and flubbed it. Fortunately it flew into the stands. This is a Kone I would definitely bring to Qatar! GasPed, johnyb, Jack1997 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe1973 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Yeah he was just fabulous yesterday...we saw the full potential on display last night. It's surreal to think that this kid has been a professional for less than a year still. If he could put in a second performance like this, he is going to Qatar and Montreal is cashing in on a transfer this winter.

Needs a long hard look in the friendlies, I would guess. Edited September 14, 2022 by WestHamCanadianinOxford dyslexic nam and Sal333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 My take on Kone from seeing him live last night is that it's clear he has that extra level of skill you see from players with a future outside of MLS. His passes are crisper and quicker, he moves with confidence, he gets himself into the right positions, he's not afraid to make some flashy plays like his "assist" on the first goal, and despite all this, it's still clear he's extremely raw- he definitely has another big leap to make, and that's so exciting. Not to mention, he's very much a key player for Montreal at this point, not just an unknown quantity prospect- like if this is his absolute peak, he'd be a starter for CF Montreal for the next decade. I think you bring him to Qatar, and you bring him to play, not just give a young guy a nice little experience.

frmr Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I admittedly haven't seen him play as much as others on this board, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the starting XI in Qatar. I also wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench. I think he definitely makes the trip though. gigi riva and jhoops__ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Interesting to see his market value shoot up. Currently Canada's 7th highest value at 4.95m. Just behind Ugbo. FWIW Mitrovic is 1.65m.

An Observer Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 With Atiba not there and Osorio maybe there but coming back from a mysterious ailment, I suspect Kone will get a lot of time beside Eustaquio in these two friendlies to see what he can do.
