matty Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 if he goes to la liga, bundesliga or premier league and is a success, he'll be a mainstream figure in canada. he goes to man u, real madrid or bayern and is a success (even if just for 3 seasons) he'll be the biggest athlete in canada.

I would be Real Madrid even if he has to spend the ages of 18 and 19 at La Fabrica before a loan to like Celta. Getting that education would be amazing for him.

Well.. hockey players will still rule the day But he wont be playing second fiddle to the likes of Andrew Wiggins or what ever the hottest young Canadian tennis player is.

Let’s hope he keeps his upward trajectory and works his ass off, and there is no reason to think he won’t, and that we can all watch him tearing it up in a big 5 league and leading Canada to greatness! I'll believe it when it comes from someone other than Kurt Larson. But yeah, kid's a talent and needs to transfer up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tg11 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yes that he does. Here is to hoping he either sets up one of his teammates or that he even manages to score in the MLS All Star Game against Juventus. If he can manage that putting in a stellar performance then whatever attention he has been getting from his European suitors would grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakmur Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I just hope he doesnt go to Manchester U, especially if Mourinho stays. They usually never give youths a real shot. PSV or Liverpool would be the better options, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tg11 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yeah because under Mourinho at Man U, Davies yeah sure he would learn a lot but would he really get any playing time competing with the likes of stars on that team like Lingard? Rashford? Fred? Pogba? Lukaku? He would even be lucky to get any playing time at all. At Liverpool he would be competing with the likes of Salah, Firmino, Mane, Henderson, Fabinho, etc for playing time. Again would be lucky to even make first team. However, on PSV he would at least get playing time more so than he would playing for teams like Liverpool or Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 25 years old and by no means a youth player. You just only learned about him because of Louis van Gaal giving a player like him a shot and him proving himself. If Mourinho was at United 3 years ago Lingard would've now been at West Brom or something. Even now both Lingard and Rashford are only getting 50% starts at United. Man United also have Tahith Chong in their academy who's very similar in terms of playing style/age to Davies and arguably better imo. Hasn't even been on the bench for United first team once. Davies needs to go to a team where he can stay for a few years and get game time. Going to United would mean going out on loan to several clubs in several countries and it just doesn't help him. Davies would have a hard time already cracking into the PSV team with Lozano and Bergwijn up front. At least he would know that he gets sub appearances and starts in the cup and they'll trust him in the future when either Bergwijn or Lozano leaves. At United they'll just pay 50 million for a new left winger instead of giving a youth player a chance because they don't have to take that "risk".

Yoginess Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Page 67 for #67. Started from the bottom now we're here. I think at this point Alphonso as has separated himself from Tabla (though I haven't been following BT much since his move). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoginess Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Another good game by Davies. You can see his progression from last year in the sense he's far more consistent. He had another assist stolen by poor team finishing, a breakaway that clattered off the post, blasted a volley just over and a scuffed shot on a break. Could have been another big game but he did end up with one assist. He's got the work rate but I think he's also got a lot of MLS in him still where his off the ball pace is a bit slow. He will pick this up fast in higher levels of competition IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, Tabla does not have the speed, but does have a sharp dribble; but perhaps Davies has not yet learnt the discipline of positional play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
