Shway Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Born in the USA. Let's hope he's random like Tajon. baulderdash77 and Jack1997 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saladroit Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 charlotte are pretty thin in deep lying midfield (bronico and jones the only players who are mls-proven atm) so i think there could be an opening; that being said they also have their next pro team in high point NC starting up this year so maybe he ends up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phresh Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Interesting. Never heard of him, but according to the MLS website, he was named offensive player of the year in his conference last season and amassed 29 goal contributions in 42 career games for Portland. https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/charlotte-fc-sign-brandon-cambridge-after-acquiring-homegrown-rights-from-vancou Edited December 21, 2022 by phresh johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top cheese Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Familiar with him as a youth player. He's a quality player. Great to see him sign a pro deal! johnyb and nolando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly think he can play and this isn’t a throwaway signing This isn’t the first time this has happened. It’s not impossible that he won’t play, but it’s highly unlikely (I obviously hope I’m wrong) I think Andrew Gutman is the only player who’s gotten substantial game time with a team that traded for his hg rights, and I think that was because he didn’t want to sign for the Fire IIRC. This has been happening since 2012…remember when the rapids traded for Josh Janneire rights from TFC? …and he played 0 games. Its a punt. Because if they were a top prospect their parent club would sign them….but we’ve heard nothing about this kid. To which I hope he turns out like Tajon.

rydermike Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 From his Canada soccer profile, he was born in the US, but moved to South Africa when he was 1 month old. Moved to Florida when he was nine for a year before moving to Canada. Apart from birth, has a minimal life in the US, unlike Koleosho who was born and raised there johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) The problem for us is that we need camps similar to what we did in 2016 and 2017 to identify talent at the u23 level. This is how MAK was identified for the MNT, which then lead to LAFC. How do we get a look at a player like this who has graduated from all youth levels and doesn’t seem close to the ‘A’ MNT? Just because we have a nice core now doesn’t mean we should slow down. Although I recognize the financial constraints it would be nice to have a u23 and/or domestic camp.

I remember following France in the 80s. every time they had an A friendly, immediately before or after the A game, there would be a B game against the same International opponent. Expensive, but gives a lot of exposure for players on the National A team bubble. gigi riva and CanadaFan123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
