Vince193 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Not worried, yet but certainly following along with what's happening with Bayern Munich right now. Lots of reports that players, staff are unhappy with Kovac and if things get worse come January what kind of environment will Davies be stepping into?

Dub Narcotic Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hopefully one in which the old players are being removed and there will be lots of playing time open. johnyb, BenFisk'sBiggestFan, villus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Yeah, he is in it for the long haul, and I think a club like Bayern will always be an ideal destination, even if there is a bit of ipheaval right now. They will fix any issues in lots of time for Davies to make his mark. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villus Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Bayern right now is a bit of a dumpster fire with players seemingly already turning against Kovac. Don't think it should be a big problem for Davies, think by the time he gets there either the coach or some of the older guys on their way out will be on the outs. Hopefully Davies doesn't pick up any bad habits with that dressing room, I doubt it but its always a worry if the leaders in the dressing room aren't fully on board.

Yoginess Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Best case scenario Davies comes in and sparks the team, becomes an instant fan favourite, galvanizes the team, and leads them to glory.. ghostknownunknown and Ruffian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those same players turned on Carlo Ancelotti last season too. Maybe the coach isn't the problem... king1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And realistically, other than the actual foul, that wasn't terrible defending. He just has really well timed dribbling. Blackjack15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 After Davies got that yellow card, did anyone else here think that he might get a second? Wouldn't that have been the cherry on a sh*t sundae of a season to have Davies suspended for his final farewell game next week? He's got that "it" factor of making something out of nothing on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) He should save that red card for his final match so the crowd has a chance to acknowledge him. Edited October 22, 2018 by jonovision Kent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Davies was absolutely dominant Sunday. You could feel that even the home crowd was excited when he was on the ball. Next level stuff and really a step up from what I saw of him in Toronto the past couple weeks. When teams sit back he’s less dangerous but when defenders are aggressive with him he kills them.

Blackjack15 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Update: In the final question of the interview (4:15) when asked by a reporter: “What exactly is the timeline for you heading there over phonzie? Is it right around the crack of January or can you over there beforehand? AD: “Right now I’m not too sure what’s going on, but I’m sure I’m gonna go in the next few weeks” Sounds like he might be missing both MNT Game vs St Kitts and U20’s Tournament all together The deal is for January 1st but the only reason why it wasn’t a direct transfer was because he had to wait until he turned 18 which he will be by November 2nd. Guess the focus totally shifts to getting settled at his new club from the get go Edited October 24, 2018 by Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had said earlier that Bayern really didn't look good and that I could see him going over to Bayern as soon as his MLS season is over. What does surprise me is the prospect of him skipping the CMNT camp, but it is a reminder that we are dealing with a very big club, who quite frankly need all the help they can get at the moment. It's strange to say it, because it's Bayern, but they look like they need help on the wings badly. I have been lurking some Bayern boards and they sound ready to crucify Ribery, while Robben looked like a shadow of his former self from what I saw of the latest highlights. Coman is still out injured. Gnabry is the only one in form seemingly. Someone with more knowledge can correct me if I am wrong or give there own opinion.

Bayern isn’t going to hold him back from the MNT when he hasn’t even transferred yet... at least I don’t think so. I’d like to think that even if he was transferred they wouldn’t discourage him from an international date. As a club with a team of internationals they’re not just going to treat Davies differently.

I think Bayern care most about Bayern right now. They are under a lot of pressure. Last time I checked they sit 4th in the table, which their fans consider unacceptable. Go read an Alphonso Davies thread on one of their boards. Some are skeptical whether a stand out from MLS is up to standard, while others sound a little desperate for him to arrive already.

If there is turmoil at Bayern and especially at his preferred position, let the in form young man go and battle for his spot. If he misses some time with the CMNT and the U20s and the result is he establishes himself right away with Bayern, I'd call that a massive win.

I am sure Bayern will want to start getting Davies integrated soon, but I am not sure this means he won't be at the November game. It is an international window, on dates when other guys wil be released for games, and Davies won't even be an official member of the team when he will be over there. I suspect we will see him in the next NL game. Keegan, Kent and Obinna 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all up in the air now though, not even Davies knows, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 And I wonder if Bayern has asked the Caps and Herdman to go easy on the game time, if only to avoid Davies getting injured. Having said that, I presume they’d like to see him play enough to keep his form and fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Wow, this thread has really been jumping to some conclusions. Davies said he is going over in the next few weeks and people think that means he is missing the CMNT game. What it likely actually means is that he will go over at some point between the last Caps game and the start of the CMNT camp. Move his stuff over to Germany, shake some hands, maybe go to training a few times if there is time, then go to the CMNT camp. romurra, C2SKI and Obinna 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
