Cblake Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I still can not comprehend what I saw tonight, it is simply mind bogging. That was something for the ages. To say we saw that, amazing. Greatest Cockney Rip Off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how one of his greatest goals scored to date was the one game when he was playing RS/RW🤣 I think the message there is that no matter where he plays, no matter what position it won't matter, because he'll be unstoppable. To really answer that though, wouldn't expect him to move any time before his contact in 2025, unless Bayern get an incredible deal but even then, he's not the kind of talent you just let go especially when has yet to really begin his prime. I would expect him to continue to be pushed up the field by Naggelsmann this season. Too much attacking talent to be wasted sitting back and Julien know it.

There's no reason for him to move from a footballing perspective. There's no club that's going to be significantly higher on the food chain. If Bayern keep renewing him on decent terms every 2-3 years, he could stay there until he's into his 30s. jonovision, OhCanadaOhBaby, Xavier. and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cblake Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 A sight to be seen, one of the Vs flags from the south end made it into the hands of Phonzie and paraded it around the field with such passion, beautiful to see. zammy67, dyslexic nam, nolando and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't having that debate about Davies at LB anymore, are we? How he was playing tonight was much more of what I envisioned with him.

I think it's tough to get a rep as best player in the world when you might only be the third or fourth best player on your own team. But surely people will be talking if he continues to develop.

Tough to say because generally only out and out attackers are in this discussion. We'll see if he ever gets a Ballon d'Or nomination.

His game is just not suited to be in that conversation as you say he is not an outright attacker who will score 30+ goals in a season, but that is not to ever take away anything from him.

I agree and I have to say there is literally no one else in the world who scores that goal. Maybe Kylian Mbappe on a good day has the blistering pace, silky touch and sniper finish to actually be capable of it, but he would never put in the absolutely ridiculous effort to sprint 60 yards to meet the defender and steal the ball off the touch line. Very few could and no one would. That was a one-of-a-kind goal by a one-of-a-kind player. costarg, dyslexic nam, Kadenge and 13 others 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best LB in the world- probably. He was a World Best XI at LB. Best in the world- no I don’t think it’s seriously considered. Fastest player in the world? He was the 2nd fastest after Mbappe. Everyone thinks he’s a world class player and that’s good enough for me. dyslexic nam, Cblake and BearcatSA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is amazing about this list is the top five players under 25 are: Haaland, Mbappé, Alexander-Arnold, Davies, and Sancho. Davies is already the best male player to ever play for Canada. He is the best in CONCACAF right now. He is already one of the best in the world. If he keeps it going, he will go down as a global legend- an era-defining type of player. He is doing all of this before he can drink in the states. Sal333, Cblake, Mattd97 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
