Thanks for the heads up. By the way, @m vann is an excellent mod, but he doesn't work this forum. @TheFalseNine is the guy you want (and he's also excellent).
Don’t tempt me to go through the forum and suggest pun names for all the threads you haven’t updated @TheFalseNine
Sassuolo get a red card, then concede twice in stoppage time to lose 2-1, with the second coming in the 99th minute on a bicycle kick. Oops.
Toljan is now 29. Never called up by Germany. I think that ship has sailed. I would say he still has a chance with Croatia, especially after they failed at the Euros. But not clear if he's ever expressed interest in them. I know it may be impossible for him to get a US passport, and he may have no interest, but he still may be better than Scally, or at least able to compete with him. Depending on when/if Dest comes back. Or he could be the next version of Timmy Chandler (who failed on international stage).
Dude, the ship has sailed for everyone. There is absolutely 0 reason to believe he will change his mind to play for the USMNT. He ain't interested.
And how much does he even improve the player pool? Is he better then Sergino Dest or Joe Scally? Do people in here even watch him play? He had some buzz like 5 years ago but it's been awhile. He's about to turn 30 and he's playing for a team that just got relegated out of Serie A.
Even if he is better than them (he isn't) and he did improve the pool, the fact that he's 30 in a month makes him a stop-gap. A fully-fit Dest is an automatic starter for PSV, which is a CL group stage club, or a bench player for Barcelona. Joe Scally is the same for a mid-table BL1 side and Weah has played RB and LB for Juve. If all three are injured, I suppose there's still Yedlin. Toljan is a year younger than Yedlin. I doubt he's any better
Toljan starts a Coppa Italia match against Cittadella. I sort of assume he'll move in this window rather than play Serie B, but I guess not yet.

Toljan now in Serie B. His club is about the same level as Kristofer Lund's. Any chance Pochettino can convince him to play for us? Not that he's necessarily better than Fossey or Reynolds.
We've been through this a million times. It's very, very unlikely he is eligible. I interviewed him a long time ago (Klinsmann era) and he wasn't interested at all. He's now 30. There are younger options who have always wanted to play for the USA. Focus on them.
D. Richey said he was both eligible and interested in the past but I will yield to your take and agree that their might be others who are younger and with more potential.
