CanadaFan123 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 1 minute ago, Atlantic said: Not sure I buy that a 22 year old with 6 goals in 23 games in the top flight of Estonia last season is attracting interest from Atlético Madrid, unless this is a maneuver to save Ottawa from paying his salary - the other clubs interested seem more accurate Happens all the time with these types of clubs. “Atletico” as a parent club is interested so they can loan him out as you suspect. Would be interesting to see how those numbers translate to CPL. For comparison sake, Joao Morelli was a star in Estonia as well and did pretty well here. johnyb and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t teach his physical profile, so if he develops with one of the top organizations, he has a lot of potential to become an interesting player. It’s a longshot, but long shots are part of the reason why Atletico group, City Group, so on, have all these teams in far flung places.

AnonymousInsider Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Stood next to the guy and seen him play, no taller than 6’4 I’d say, uses his body as well as I’ve ever seen a player use it. Technical is a bit lazy at times and he’s a bit clunky in his movements but he will definitely have a solid career in Europe. However I can’t see him playing for a world class team, there’s too much of a gap to be filled in terms of technical ability considering he is already 22. Good kid too. lowlander, jordan, nolando and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplebanana Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Interview with JJD TV: On the topic of Canada vs Nigeria, he says he couldn't really decide because he feels both. But if you listen to the rest of the interview, he really sounds like he knows a lot more about the Canadian soccer scene and is inspired by Phonzie, Miller, Johnston.

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 14 hours ago, sebdeserio said: 3rd in the Nigerian Canadian striker depth chart let's see him go to a better league. Exactly. It's too low a level to consider, its just a touch above CPL if that. Hope he can get a move, say Poland or Austria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 If those Atletico rumours had any weight, which they probably don't, would be cool to see him move to their affiliate in Mexico, San Luis. Big step up, but if he sucks, Ottawa would be a good landing spot, and if he's good, eventually he makes his way to Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer21 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I’ve been kind of ignoring this guy’s chances of making NT in the future because of the low level he’s at. Just watched his highlights though, and good lord is he a unit. I’d be interested to see if he could push around defenders at higher levels like he does in Estonia, because it’s a bit ridiculous to see how he tosses defenders away currently.

Mihairokov Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 This thread is funny because his height changes with every post. Is he 6'4" or 6'6"? As they say in hockey (when referring to bad, slow, big defensemen): he's 6'5" every time he steps on the pitch. Is he tall like Crouch or tall like Ongaro? Two very different profiles despite being the same height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
