Guest Tg11 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Yeah but you know what I meant. Not a lot of 17 year olds get a chance to be an MLS All Star much less go head to head with an elite European club like Juventus going up against the likes of Buffon, Dybala, Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Lichtsteiner, Marchisio, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jith12 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I watched the France vs Argentina game this morning and I can't help but compare Davies to Mbappé. The way they can scorch opposition backlines with their runs is very similar. Both guys have incredible potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do but will Davies be able to put on Mbappe-like performances for Canada in the CONCACAF Nations League or in the 2019 Gold Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even know that because I don't watch Gold Cups all that much if at all because I watch other competitions like EURO, Copa America, African Cup of Nations or World Cup and I didn't watch the last one at all. It is only until recently that I got into Canadian soccer like what a few months ago so how would I even be expected to know any of that? Even if he was named the Best Young Player of that tournament and being co-lead scorer of that tournament will he be able to follow that up in 2019? I will say yes he could possibly but then again who really knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 2 Friggin minutes to read something instead of spewing nonsense 24 hours a day. Unless you are a troll and you want every person to ignore you.

Speed (with finesse/touch: sorry, Tosaint or Dominic Oduro!) kills, and having a young guy like that in your team's weaponry is a big time plus, so comparison to the young Frenchman can only add to Davies' transfer value with bigger time suitors. Let's see how Mbappe does next Friday against a far more challenging and better organized defence in Uruguay, featuring a very pacy guy of their own (Laxalt) to mark him as well as some strong support from the midfielder in front of him.

Yoginess Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Davies seemed quite frustrated with his teammates yesterday. Not in a "I can't stand these players kind of way", he's too nice for that. But he kept making nice plays and looking for a quick 1-2 and his teammates constantly did not have the skill/vision to play him through. The kid is going to have so much fun playing with really great players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thank God he plays in Vancouver. Imagine playing on tfc with that Turtle Bradley and those other plumbers. He'd be driving in to the box and those guys would be stumbling out of their own 3rd. Davies in the playoffs this year should be exciting and a great way to see him off to Europe. I'm sure everyone across Canada will be cheering him on from their couch. We all know they'll have lots of time their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree being a 17 year old in the spotlight can bring him to Europe because in 2026 he will be older so maybe better because day by day he’s becoming a big star in Vancouver and being out in that spotlight and being 17 in the spotlight might make him go to Europe in time for 2026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell even his own teammate Kendall Waston Costa Rican World Cup 2018 international said it best that with Alphonso he has potential. Just think of how good he can be if he leaves MLS for Europe? The more time that passes by he can only get better as a player I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley is still one of, if not the best defensive midfielder in MLS (every player has their good and bad runs of form, but when Bradley is "on", no one touches him), and Davies would more than thrive playing alongside guys like Vasquez, Osorio, Altidore, and Giovinco, who actually have the quality and technical capability to generate quick plays off one another.

masster Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Fantastic performance from him last night despite the loss. Even if the team has been poor this year, the kid is definitely worth the price of admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tg11 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yes that is true he could very well go to Europe in a year or 2. Well European clubs have shown interest in him but if he decides to stay in the MLS that would not surprise me either. However, if he truly wants to become an elite player then going to Europe is the best option hell it is the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
