Yoginess Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The transfer fee for Alphonso Davies could have been higher but it also could have been lower so in conclusion there is a transfer fee. #Tg11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because he was never officially signed up as a member of the Academy. He did train a couple of times though. However Strikers and Internationals should and will get compensation though.

Keegan Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 2 hours ago, RS said: Vancouver never invested 16M in him, though. For every Alphonso Davies, there are 100 Bryce Aldersons who don't work out but are all paid entirely by MLS. Regardless, the Whitecaps are going to be getting a massive injection of money very soon. No they didn’t spend that but he is an investment that is now worth... check that 20 million. So essentially MLS gets the final say on as you say the millions of dollars spent by Vancouver through the years trying to develop these players.. that’s messed up.

dyslexic nam Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 This will be a great reason to tune into some Bundesliga games as soon as he earns a spot on the first team. The caliber of competition will keep driving him forward. As a Canadian soccer supporter, I am experiencing strange new feelings of... optimism? Wow.

The Beaver Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I cannot find the article where I read this, but apparently a journalist in Germany wrote a book earlier this year in which he argues that, statistically, Davies is the most likely young talent in the world to have the sort of careers that Messi and Ronaldo have had. A grand claim, sure, but the article suggests that this book played something of a role in Bayern's decision to check Davies out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching this year world cup, i found myself more encouraged about the future of this kid. Thats because i saw a game that has changed from what it was 12-16 (and before) years ago where there were multiple dictintictive styles of play based on culture and geography to a game that is now uniformly played the same way throughout the world. He has the skills. And in todays game (based on the WC), its more pace, high press and athelticism than it was before. Its still about possession but its more direct than before. Much more possesion to contruct and create rather than possesion for the sake of possesion. And lightning quick on counter attacks. Then you see that a player like Killian Mbapa, whose about explosiveness, is crowned as the next one. Someone like that would have attracted criticism in the past for thier game. Davies fits well in my opinion in regards to where the game is now and heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaliam Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 From what I've seen of German league play, Davies very much fits the mold of having an ability to counter attack with lightning pace. The irony is that countering is how teams often play against the best in the country, ie. Bayern, whom Davies will play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, with the world cup coming in 2026, i think that there is better chance that we will have Ballou than there was before. One went to Barcelona, the other (potentially) Bayern. There is not much to distinguish there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
