Aird25 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I mean, this is a pretty good body of work for 20 yo. That add at the bottom is incredibly appropriate as well. CanadaFan123, Obinna, sebdeserio and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenkins poking Wheeler who's all in. I'm still firmly in the Hutch camp, the "one season does not a career make" camp to which the usual reply is "But what a season!" Impossible to argue against that but my point still stands. Hard to see the future. Could be at Bayern a LONG time. Think it would be awesome if he rightly felt restless and hunting for new challenges by the age of 24. It's awesome that we can evern speculate about ithat and not sounding like crazy people. I get the whole one season doesn’t make a career, and it’s fair but when you win literally everything at the club level his career tops Atiba’s. At the National level it’s different, but christ like the bar wasn’t high and Alphonso shattered it.

Cheeta Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Can't overstate Davies accomplishments, he wasn't a passenger at Bayern, he was an integral part of that team and has received world wide recognition for the quality of his contributions. And that's how I'm making my assessment. The quality of his contributions. He's shown he's a world class wing back. If he keeps it up, as I'm sure he will, he's very quickly going to be recognized as GOAT. Even if he never collects another team trophy, ever. Am I seeing too much past the silverware? I don't think so. By the way, I'll be happy to be having this discussion in a couple of years when David is cleaning it all up with (insert club not named Lille here).

BearcatSA Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Do you solidfy yourself as the best LWB or LB or do you see your future beyond that in a different attacking position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi44 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Davies has been a big part of Bayern's success in 2020/21, but he is playing nowhere near his potential. Hopefully Bayern will allow him to develop and grow his game (*cough*winger*cough*) Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think it’s unquestionable that Davies has had the best season that any Canadian player has ever had. Besides winning literally every trophy at the club level last year he also won almost every trophy at the personal level. Champions League and UEFA best XI, FIFAPro Best XI, the runner up as the best defender in UEFA as well. We have never had a player that is widely acclaimed as the best in the player in world at his position in a season before. Yes he’s only 20 but the top of his career and 8 trophies in a top 5 league (including the biggest trophies) puts him in a class all alone.

badname22 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I feel like Davies it’s probably already the most Decorated player to ever play for Canada but who would second be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I was actually wondering if any Canadian has ever won a top 5 league prior to Davies? If Lille win France would David be the 2nd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 As far as I’m aware the list of Canadian players who have won in a top 5 league is only Stalteri and Davies. Im certainly happy to be corrected but I think that’s it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaba has looked past it for a while in my opinion. He's still got the brain, but for the past while he's looked like he's running (or jumping in this case) in quicksand. He just doesn't have the legs anymore, it seems. I question how good of a signing he'd be for Chelsea or Real Madrid, where he's been linked as of late.
