Obinna Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Weber thinks Arid had a strong camp and has the edge over Smith, a good sign. If he can emerge as the first choice heading into the Mexico friendly, I think he will find himself on the roster. Maybe even the starting 11.

yothat Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 interesting choice choosing the whitecaps program over fced. Definitely looks talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 ^ is it that interesting? seems like a no brainer. Whitecaps are a significantly larger club than FCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caps takes players from the FCE academy every year. Always with a sell on clause. Davies wasn't the only FCE player to join the Caps last year.

PhillyCanuck Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Davies will be 25 years old and right in his prime when we host the 2026 World Cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol how's that for perspective. In 10 years he'll be Bekker's age... Is this kid the heir to Atiba's throne? Definitely has the potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yothat Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 apparently a friend of mine coached with the strikers and said his ability to dribble in tight spaces and run with track speed you just don't see at his age. Just has to learn to pass the ball more, but that will come playing at higher levels. Getting great experience playing in the USL at 15/16.

Vince193 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 So Apparently he's going to play in the Voyageurs Cup. As far as I understand eligibility rules, the CSA changed them so something like this would not be able to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it was a MLS Union thing that said that USL players couldn't play in V'S Cup matches, but they've changed that and put rules to allow teams to sign players to short term deals. http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/content/roster-rules-and-regulations (J) USL SHORT TERM AGREEMENTS MLS clubs may sign players from their USL affiliate to Short Term Agreements (up to four-day contracts) for CONCACAF Champions League, AMWAY Canadian Championship, U.S. Open Cup, and exhibition matches. An MLS club may sign a player to a maximum of four short term agreements each season (maximum of 16 days). Players may also be signed to Short Term Agreements for MLS league season games but only in cases of Extreme Hardship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I really look forward to seeing what Davies can do in the Voyageurs Cup. Wonder if it will be reminiscent of Boakai's performance in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy to think that he'll still be 2 years younger than Boakai was during that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they throw him a few thousand for the V-cup, it would be a pretty nice dividend for a 15 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whatever the length of the MLS season is in days, the 4 days will be divided by the length of the season and that pro-rated percentage will be applied to the agree comp. So let's say 4 days/240 days = 1.67% X $60,000 = $1,000. That amount might even be lower if the wage is the off-budget min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince193 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 If he can play I hope this means we see Tabla with Montreal (looks like Biello has brought up that possibility) and maybe Malik Johnson with TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'd like to see Edwards make an appearance for TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Or Shaan Hundal. 16 year-old got robbed of his first professional goal a couple days ago by a bogus offside call. Not quite as good as Davies but quietly becoming a top prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coach_86 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Got about 15 minutes of play in his first team debut and did not at all look out of place. If anything brought a different dynamic to the whitecaps style of play. Robinson should take the risk and put in in the starting 11 for the 2nd leg, even though they need the result he should roll the dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 he didn't look out of place. nor did he effect the game. Personally I really couldn't take away much from his performance. Will be interesting to see who Robbo puts out there in the second game. Will say alot about how seriously he's taking the tournament this year. Also, this probably isn't the thread for it...but man, can at least one of these whitecaps kids we keep hearing are "knocking on the first team door" put in a performance that earns them more time with the first team? Every time they get an opportunity they seem to fall on their face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
