The Real Marc Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Sources tell me Matthew Scianitti is posting some very broad and non-committal stuff based on very basic Canadian soccer knowledge. If he keeps this up, he'll have many more tweets than he used to. narduch, rkomar, Gian-Luca and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Yes, his tweets are “generic” but they’re mentioning leagues we hadn’t heard yet. Only Kone rumour so far has been Roma. Only DC rumour so far was a Dutch fan blog saying Feyenoord. Only Liam Millar rumour has been sunderland. Take it with a grain of salt and this is definitely coming from the agent, but let’s not pretend that TSN talking about it means nothing. jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacbru Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 If player X plays has a good Copa, my sources tell me teams Y, from leagues Z could be interested. Can I get a job at TSN? Corazon, NVsoccer, blueseeka and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoops__ Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I dint know, I think it’s great we have a local reporter talking about transfers. Shit, we always complain about a lack of football coverage so imo this is a bit of a breakthrough… RS, Borjans Sweatpants, Corazon and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacbru Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Fair enough - it contributes to broadening the interest in CMNT. But don't call it reporting or coverage. It is a bunch of pre-programmed tweets. red card, Cadeau and costarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Maybe not his best game but he had his moments, this is a stage that most of our boys can only dream, until the past few months. It’s natural for him and everyone to have nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s natural for him and everyone to have nerves. We look at it and lament he had a poor game with so many cheap giveaways. But the typical big time manager might not see it that way, a championship player against all the top 5 league guys on Arg would be a mismatch most times eh? I dont think that performance gets him a big transfer, but it prob doesnt hurt him as much as we might think it does.

InglewoodJack Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Such a strange performance. His gaffes didn’t read like a player in above his head, it looked like a player actively harming the team. Not that I in anyway think that was the case, but he made these great plays and then booted the ball straight to Argentina. Didn’t look like he was under too much pressure or like he was getting exposed, just looked like brain fart after brain fart.

dyslexic nam Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I do think that he (and others) need to deliver and seize this opportunity for global exposure. These high profile games can be a platform for a big move - but I think the converse is also true.

gator Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 That was a somewhat shocking performance by Kone and I am quite surprised given his ascendency, I know he had a few of these with The Hornets so maybe it's just part of his maturation process? I fully expect him to start the next game and would not be surprised if he makes amends and has a cracker of a match however I think JM will have a shorter rope for him if he has another poor showing despite our lack of options in that position! dyslexic nam and WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a three game sample against the highest level opponents: one okay (Holland), one good (France), one mediocre/bad (Argentina). That's a decent start for him. The question is can he learn and improve against these higher level teams. We shall see. Edited June 21 by Cicero masster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we are at the point where Koné is an automatic starter. He has started all the games since the World Cup that he was in the squad (over 10). Probably safe to say he is. People have had bad games and Marsch hasn't changed much yet.

I don’t see Marsch changing things up to start the next one unless Choiniere has really impressed him in training.

That's what is a little bewidering about last night, he had arguably his best match in a Canada shirt vs the #2 team in the world, I expected him to just carry on from there! I don't think he was overwhelmed by the occasion last night, I think it may have just been a bad day at the office, all players have them!
