In general, fans do like him.

You hear a lot lament that it's been too bad he's not moved to a smaller side since he's fun of watch -- like say Miccoli was at Palermo -- but hardly any want him getting NT call ups.

Even the criticism there is not really heated just that there are some better options.

About how moving to Toronto affects his NT chances: Of course, he'd have a better chance of getting Europe qualifying call ups here and there if he'd gone to a mid-table Serie A side and enjoyed a crazy tear but I don't think he's really figuring any larger in Conte's NT plans than he was in Conte's Juve plans no matter what.
