He was the Dark horse to be one of our breakout stars, cant really argue he already is right now. His versatility is going to be huge for the national team too. He seems to have played all across the front and both deep and further up in central midfield. Wonder where he will end up settling.

Ottawafan74 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 His ability around the net is something Canada has a hard time finding. No real need to put him out wide unless they are just trying to get all their best players on the field at once. mpg_29, Cblake, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I hope they keep him as an central attacking midfielder. I can't even remember the last time Canada had a good real number 10. It is one of the reasons we have always had a hard time to score even when we had some decent strikers. cronaldo7, Northvansteve, Obinna and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowcrash Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I watched game yesterday on a stream and it looks like David has established himself as a starter for Gent. Could have been player of the match for Gent. Also, standard of play is very high. Gent and SL can easily be top 5 in MLS. The players are better both technically and tactically, position for position, than players on most MLS teams. I'm thinking David is going to get Gent an Alphonso Davies-type haul on the transfer market. hamiltonfan, johnyb, Cblake and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 David is such a smooth operator for someone so young. As his plymaking evolves maybe he does become that pure AM that we’ve been needing for all these years. Its really amazing the development he’s done in the past 2 years.

Obinna Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 3 hours ago, BleepBlap said: That first highlight where David effortlessly glides through several players. Wow. Yeah that was mouthwatering. I believe he has to play in behind Cavallini or Larin, who ever is in form. Then, let Davies and Junior play the flanks. Let Millar and Ballou, two outstanding prospects in their own right, push them. May the best winger win the minutes. Just how it should be. Anyone familiar enough Stephen Eustauqio to know where in midfield he plays? I believe he is more of an 8, but if he can also play more advanced, that would provide even more depth in that elusive ACM/second striker role.

toontownman Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Eustauqio is more of a deep lying mid or DM but is adaptable I think. Spot on with David behind Cav's (Larin) I think, and the winger situation. Plenty more emerging behind those four too. When fit we are starting to have some serious midfield depth with piette, Kaye and atiba still a contributor. Arfield and osorio too. A nice but average layer below but definite potential with the likes of Okello, Chapman, Fraser, baldisimo and maybe even norman rising should they getting minutes and become consistent with their potential. As mentioned if only we could exclusively scout and create a couple of central defensive monsters like on fifa! Obinna and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His intention was to remain with his club coach, someone who wasn’t a highly paid fugaise selling himself as a great coach.

Pro clubs will have an affiliation with a local club. TFC was with Hotapurs but are now with Cap U. VWC had one with OSU. They come out, run some camps, pocket a bunch of money. Doesn’t really lead to much. While Vancouver was looking at some OSU kids, three kids from the 01 group moved down to TFC. David turned them all down to remain in Ottawa.
