It could all be rumour though, every transfer window there are far more unfounded false rumours that factual ones. ESPNFC UK has transfer rumours daily all year and the majority are false, but it provides good opportunities for us to discuss them.

Stryker911 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Not only is it a large transfer, it would actually be Gladbach's record. (Currently @23) So no chance he isn't going to be given every opportunity to succeed. Also mentions they would likely need funds from Champions League to make it work. They are currently 2 points up on Leverkusen for the last spot. Which gives us a other reason to watch Bundesliga this weekend.

baulderdash77 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Bayern and Dortmund are not great fitS for him as they already are stocked with attacking players in their prime or young attackers in place. At least with Gladbach, with the investment they would be committed to giving him lots of PT. He could form a great looking attack with Plea and Thuram since he’s versatile enough to play almost any attacking position. I can see the fit. I would love to see him there.

I mean, I want him to move because I am a Canada fan, but it is in the clubs best interest to wait unless they get an offer they cannot refuse. Halaand was a steal at 20 million Euros. He should have gone for much more, but he had a release clause. I don't think David has that. Gent probably think David can score in the Champions League and attract +30 million euro bids, so if they are more likely to get those in a years time AND they can keep David for Champions League, it's a gamble worth taking for them. What is missing in this equation is consideration for the player. He wants to go to the Bundesliga and he wants game time, but only 2 teams in that league can afford their price tag. I know it's business, but aren't Gent putting their relationship with David at risk here? They should tread carefully. David is a good kid, but patience wears thin and misunderstandings are easy.

Most of Bayern's attack is the wrong side of 30, and I'd put David ahead of many of their young replacements. I still quite like Bayern as a destination, but I'd be happy with Gladbach as well.

He could also provide depth for Lewandowski, Gnabry and Coman. If Courtinho and Perisic do not return (which seems likely) they'll be minutes available. I could see Bayern dropping +30 million Euros on David if he scores goals for Gent in the Champions League and Gent do well. I don't see them spending that money on David at the moment though. I would be surprised if they do, but you never know. Anyone know when the transfer window closes? Edited June 22, 2020 by Obinna Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Bayern would be a dream. Having the Double D’s able to work on their chemistry at a club level would be immense for the Nats. Sure David would have to earn his spot. And maybe he wouldn’t walk into the first team right away. Buy he has crazy talent, the perfect attitude, and apparently a golden cock. Just think of the great soundbites Muller would produce. JuicyHam, N1ckbr0wn, Bertuzzi44 and 8 others 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Hopefully Sportsnet step up their coverage of Bundesliga. Kinda like Fox does in the US. It would be great to see David maybe a couple other Canadians. Millar? Eustaquio? Larin? Perhaps a young prospect move to the league.

Bundesliga have done well to grab eyeballs in the US Fox won't have rights anymore as of next season. Most of the matches will be on ESPN+ with about 4 matches on ESPN. More maybe if covid screws up US sports in the fall. Bundesliga wasn't entirely happy with Fox's coverage after initially being excited. Plus FS1/2 don't have much of a reach. So no surprise with the restart, Fox's coverage is just carrying the world feed like Sportsnet. Only difference is that they carry the feed with the enhanced crowd noise while SN is au natural. But with nothing else on, Fox ratings have been the highest since 2015. But ratings for la liga matches this weekend were still higher even though bein has even much less reach than FS1/2.
