We're better prioritizing Corbeanu and Nelson and getting them bled in ahead of 2026. I also think there's a big chance he moves from Burnley by the end of the window fwiw. There's interest within the EPL as well as other teams in Top 4 leagues. I hope you’re wrong, hoping things change but I think the question he needs to ask is something like this: What do I feel ? how much will I play ? bot sure who they have that can rival them but in 4-5 years in know they’ll have Sullivan and that kid from LAG who’s rumoured to be his equal… so does he do what Morris did and accept that he feels American and will get in the b teams and be a backup ? He would be a huge piece for us, but for them he may not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 There is no club career discount playing for Canada anymore. After this Copa performance, the CMNT ain't flying under the radar. We have garnered a lot of respect over the past 6 games to go with WCQ/WC22. We shouldn't be a 2nd or 3rd choice and WC26 just 2 yrs away. Duals sitting on the fence risk getting left behind.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Looked pretty good in 66' in a dominant Burnley win over Luton yesterday. So far so good on the injury return. costarg, ahmedou, lowlander and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC_Hali Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Would really like to see Marsch & Blue go full court press on getting Koleosho. Seems like the door may be open a crack? We’re momentarily ahead of the US and I’m not sure how close he is to the Italy senior team. He would really take our attack to another level. Koleosho and Jebbison are our 1A and 1B dual-nat priorities, IMO.

narduch Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 He could still play U21 with Italy. They have games in the September window WestHamCanadianinOxford and ahmedou 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Worth a try. I suspect that if we don’t see him and/or don’t hear about him, it is because he has indicated a lack of interest to our folks. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have games in the September window I believe he could actually play with them in the 2027 u21 Euros. The cut off for the 2025 tournament is born after 1 Jan 2002 and he is a 2004. Probably makes a decision before then though. Gnonto still got some senior Italy calls when he was in the Championship, for instance. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnonto still got some senior Italy calls when he was in the Championship, for instance. Gnonto is 1 year older with over 150 senior team apperances to Koleosho's 21 senior team apperances. I know staying healthy would have helped, but the reality is Luca is pretty short on experience at an age where he isn't really that young anymore. He's only two years younger than Kone!

In any case, at Burnley he will likely be less part of the Italian picture, I would say, and I'd suspect they might not call him into camps that quickly, considering he needs to get back into game shape. ahmedou and Obinna 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Playing in the championship he'll be off Italy's radar, no matter if he's scoring goals.

Who's Gnotto?😉 Gnonto was getting called while he was in the Championship then had an injury and then blew pretty hot and cold for the rest of the season. 90' games were few and far between in the second half from my memory.

Dominic94 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Would imagine he’s being heavily recruited by all nations involved. If we can get him it would be massive, with Jebbsion and Sigur becoming a part of the program for the time being, the future of the NT will look very very good. ahmedou, An Observer, lowlander and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow down, let's see what happens in September. I have a tough time believing either will be on the roster.

Shway Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 If he were to ever commit to Canada, I think he would be the most prestigious dual to get based on various of reasons. So every night Voyageurs when you say your prayers, make sure you include Koleosho in the Hail Mary.(see what I did there 😂) Vasi, ahmedou, Obinna and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
