Yoginess Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 If I had to venture to guess I would say it's because you can certainly see he's got the technique of a pro. You can see he has potential to be a professional player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkuseisLoose Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Played about the last 10 for the whitecaps today. Had two great chances to score (one chip and a shot blocked from 10 yards out). Definitely looks to have great potential BenFisk'sBiggestFan, Northvansteve, ted and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Just curious about this kid. I notice he isn't in the U20 roster so I am assuming he is still considered to be behind the guys that got called up. I know he is younger, but getting a sub appearance for the Caps (even if it was somewhat symbolic) suggests he has to be close to cracking the U20 line-up, no?

Could be.. or he could be another young player to make a first team appearance in MLS and fail to even make the u20 team. I.e Gala, Melo, Makubuya. one appearance at any level isn’t indicative of much IMO. dyslexic nam, BearcatSA and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen much of him, but it seems he's being touted as the next up and coming player from the academy. I just don't think he's quite there physically yet dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Ive seen him play a few times. His game is similar to say Osorio but i see him as more physical and direct. He looks small but his frame is pretty solid for when he fills out. At his age group he's constantly taking people on and beating them with niggly little jukes but pushes the play forward Edited October 29, 2018 by SpursFlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerf Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 He definitely looked good in those last few minutes. He certainly needs to bulk up. Considering this was his first start, it looks like he can handle the pressure, which really is the most important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I hope he has a bright future. His bandwagon is going to need many more miles on it before I hop on it, but he made a positive first impression in his sub appearance on Sunday. nolando, Obinna and Blackjack15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to suffer greatly with Davies comparisons and pressure to live up to him. I hope that expectation can be dampened quickly as Dalrymple was trying to do. Thankfully Bair should be right there alongside him in addition to a clutch of others in different positions (Baldisimo, Norman Jnr) which should help.

I hope that expectation can be dampened quickly as Dalrymple was trying to do. That's a tough ask, especially around here. The hype dial can be turned up pretty quickly after even one positive performance. But I feel good about the potential of these young guys and about the ability of MDS to find a way sooner than later to incorporate a couple more of them into the senior squad rotation. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 No biggie i guess... but 16 yr old looked great in pre season and got in to the opening night 18 for the Whitecaps toontownman and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Ehhhh, no biggie, wake us up when he goes to the Bundas. ? Seriously, with all the new faces at VAN, do you think he'll get a decent amount of minutes to show anything?? Kind of worried about him and Bair/Baldisimo getting stunted without playing time.

SpursFlu Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) I think considering he's 16, stunted may not be the word. Most peoples concern coming out of lsst night was the advanced position of the midfield 3 which was played by Felipe was very underwhelming. That would be where Simon could slot in. But thats a lot to ask a 16 yr old I could see Baldisimo going on loan. Maybe Bair also. The big Uruguay fwd is not at all game fit but looked very positive the 10mins he got in.
