SthMelbRed Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I just saw that Espanyol has signed Brathwaite from Barca on a 3-year deal. @Unnamed Trialist, any insight on how that will affect LK's prospects in the near term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Brathwaite is more forward than winger, no? Hopefully it doesn't cut into his PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Braithwaite is very much a centre forward. I'm not sure how they are going to pay for him. Have they sold Raúl de Tomás? johnyb and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I see a few B players are not with the first team. They had a weak start to the season and signed a few pieces. So I suppose the Bs will play B and get brought in when needed. Too bad, but it's to be expected. They beat Athletic Club away on a late Braithwaite goal, so that'll justify the new call-ups to his detriment.

pod818 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'll have to listen to the pod again, but Galindo seemed to say we can't speculate what he has..and a high ankle sprain could take weeks (thus ruling him out for the September camp), but the discussion seemed speculative in nature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cynical, and IMO accurate way to read this is that our team is easier to make than theirs, and it came down to one of his eligible nations wants to call him up to the senior team, and the other one didn't. Him playing in these friendlies doesn't preclude him for playing for the US. Now, hopefully we get a reverse Mitrovic situation where his home country didn't start paying attention to him until it was too late, and by the time that he's ready to make their team, we've got him so wrapped up in our orbit that it's a done deal. IIRC, he would have to file a one-time switch to play for the US now, correct? Assuming he features in one of the friendlies.

A 17 year old made his La Liga debut, safe to say there wasn’t much more scouting or thought put into his call up. johnyb, narduch, Bertuzzi44 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mom is a Canuck from Montreal. Mothers tend to have a bigger influence on kids in general.

I thought Flores would've had to file the paperwork after he featured in the Mexico friendlies, before he committed to them.
