canadasoccer20 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Congrats David! What a 2021 for the kid. Lets hope he brings this swagger and hot streak to the WCQ. When I saw he signed with Lille I knew they would compete for a Champions League but no way in hell I saw them taking Neymar and Mbappe and PSG! Unbelievable. cronaldo7, apbsmith, sebdeserio and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cronaldo7 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Wow. So happy for Jo. Literally didn’t miss a game all season and even though it was tough sometimes, this makes it so worth it. Especially after he was struggling so much at the start of the season, I definitely had my doubts. But he proved all the doubters wrong (all the Americans on social media calling him trash and that Weah needs to start or the Turkish fans demanding Yazici to play more bc David wasn’t scoring). He put his head down, stuck with it and was of the main contributors on this title-winning team. He will go down in Lille history. He stepped up and scored many important goals (especially with Burak out). Incredible stuff and goes to show how strong his mentality is. Amazing time to be a Canadian footy fan (FINALLY!!!!) and I think we’re in good hands for the years to come.

dyslexic nam Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I haven’t been able to find the MotM, but agree with others that it has to be him. Got a goal, made a goal, and worked his ass off with a ton of important plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frmr Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 He was very good defensively as well, had some very important tackles. cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he’s only 21 and is a Ligue 1 champion and 2nd in non-pk goals. His future is definitely in the top 5 leagues with a Champions League team for a while it seems. cronaldo7, sebdeserio and The Real Marc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But winning a title is tough, and they're getting more and more locked down by a handful of clubs. Who knows if he'll land at one of these these teams. But, it doesn't matter quite as much if you've already won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I guess it didn't occur to any of us to send a Canadian flag his way....oh well can't really begrudge him this, he's always maintained that he's proud to be Canadian and to be of Haitian descent.

I dunno if my tweet embedded properly but the Ligue 1 tweets of just him have him with a Canada flag. Fair enough to him, he identifies with both countries.

king1010 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 So sounds like Lille’s coach Galtier is leaving to manage Nice whose new wealthy owners want to turn them into another PSG. Talk that he didn't want to stay for Lille’s firesale. Will be interesting if David stays and how strong the team will be next year in champs league. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macksam Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 This whole thing is awesome for him no doubt but short of a style of a play change for Lille, David, like I mentioned before, needs to declare his tenure in French football a victory and move on to a bigger club. I want to enjoy watching him play rather than see another teeth pulling season like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
