Does anyone have a clip of this Davies run? You see the end of it where he executes the 1-2 give and go to perfection and makes the pass across to Hurtado for the first goal. The build up was equally impressive and he had several great runs. I wish they had posted more footage from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what league would be great for his development next Depending on how he develops after 2 more seasons in MLS he may just bypass the development phase of his move to Europe and go straight to the EPL. Of course anything can happen and he could be the next Wyn Belotte (that's right kids, you too can be the next Wyn Belotte!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Or the next freddy Adu... hopefully not he looks great. On the last fifa rankings we were one spot behind Liberia. We beer hope he doesn't leave for greener pastures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRM Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Ixnay on the Freddy Adu and double ixnay on the Wyn Belotte!! That and I hope the Caps keep him until he is at least 22 for completely selfish reasons (I love to watch him play). He has filled the gap in my psyche that was created by Gersh leaving.

Northvansteve Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 He was very good playing a full 90 minutes in an MLS game. First time I have seen his top end speed and it is very fast. He looks very comfortable playing in the middle of the field so I can see him developing into a central attacking mid. Also beginning to think he has to be in consideration for the 2017 Gold Cup roster. If he continues starting at the MLS level into next season, why not include him?

thundercaps fan Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Check out this quote from the province: "Given Davies’ passport status — he doesn’t even have his Canadian one yet — and Canada’s woeful FIFA ranking, U.K. clubs will be eying him for a move at 18." http://theprovince.com/sports/soccer/mls/vancouver-whitecaps/man-united-scouting-caps-teen-phenom-davies?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter That's not good news for our u20 team...

jpg75 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Pretty sure Weber is wrong about the possibility of a sale and loan agreement before the age of 18. A sale to another club (like ManU) constitutes a transfer of the players rights, which is in violation of article 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob.notenboom Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 At least we know that he is not being overlooked by the CSA. He won't be able to play in any official games at any level without his passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Davies started and looked very good in the first half. Drew the penalty with some nifty footwork leading to Vancouver's goal. Very active first half and had some good runs leading to opportunities. super talented 15 year old that needs to be captied ASAP. Hasn't looked out of place at all in his 1st team appearances.

I really don't know what the rules are. would Davies be subject to the 5 year rule? I.e. He would need to be in Canada for 5 years after he turns 18 before he could play for our National Team? If so, that would be a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyCanuck Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Alphonso Davies is a permanent resident of Canada and according to CIC, in order to apply for Canadian citizenship applicants must hold permanent resident status and have lived in Canada for a minimum of 4 years out of the past 6 years. Davies has been in Canada for 10 years, but I am not sure how long he's been a permanent resident. If Alphonso is interested in playing for Canada, hopefully the folks at the CSA are working with him and his family to do whatever is necessary in order to make him eligible.
