Yoginess Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Bayern is a big club so they will always be connected with player rumours but it sounds like there is still a healthy appetite to bring in more experience wingers ahead of AD. My hope is Davies proves enough in the next couple months that he’s a viable and valuable option off the bench. The longer the stay in CL the more league opportunities will open up. Though super disappointed he didn’t come in for Conan last week after his 10 min sub/injury. But they’re brining on ThomasMuller... 3 years ago we would have been awestruck that he was even on the same pitch.. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoH037 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Folk here really need to chill... Phonzie didn't move to just any Bundesliga club, he moved to BAYERN FREAKING MUNICH, of course he isn't going to be starting for them 2 months after he officially transferred.. the team isn't just made up of REALLY good player, its made up of freaking world class super stars... lets try to keep things in perspective no? ghostknownunknown, cronaldo7, Corazon and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Keep in mind Vinicius jr spent nearly the first half of the year playing at Real Madrid 2 in the 4th division. Couple months later he's their brightest star Shakmur, JuicyHam, Shortdutchcanuck and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohanz Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Interesting that Jeong, the hat trick hero from Davies game with Bayern II also made the bench. Has he been on the bench with Alphonso before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoginess Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Might be the first chance Davies has for legit minutes! He did play against Monchengbalderfürtssldorf in the January friendly no? EDIT: Bayern up 2-0 in the first half. With a critical CL match on Wednesday, if they can hold the lead a great chance for some young kids playing time. EDIT EDIT: andddddd Bayern concede...

Chad_Impact Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Up 4-1 in the 80th with two subs left...surely they'll throw him in there Edit...Davies getting subbed in at the 82nd minute Edited March 2, 2019 by Chad_Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoginess Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 If Davies can move out the token "give the kids some minutes" sub zone and be a legitimate change of pace sub by end of season I think that would be great progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The South Korean 19 year old scored a hat trick for the second team the other day, and I have watched a few of the extended training videos of Bayern since January and that kid is extremely talented.

He worked hard during his time on the field and was the second sub after Sanches. The play by play guy asked Kevin McKenna if he was from the same MLS team as Davies and McKenna got to mention the Calgary Foothills and Dino’s! Guessing that may have been the first theme those squads were mentioned on a Bundisliga broadcast. johnyb and SuperCanuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, some people train better than others, but I am not saying he trains better than Davies, or that his ceiling is higher than our beloved Alphonso. I am saying that I was impressed the moment I saw him and right now I am unsure Davies is better than him. I think he has just as much a chance to make an impact as Davies, yet Davies gets more hype due to the transfer and his phenomenal season at Vancouver and his god like pace. All rightly deserved, Davies has earned the plaudits! As soon as I saw that kid though, I was surprised he hadn't cracked the first team, or earned a South Korea senior cap. The latter is coming surely. The message boards are reflective of what @KW519 is saying. He was the main talking point today as far as young players go. Obviously I care more about Davies though. Wish I tuned in on time, but I missed him yet again. It looks Davies, Sanches and Jeong are the core of the new Bayern generation. Still amazes me that we have an 18 year old coming off the bench for one of the biggest clubs in the world!

You're joking right? They play different positions... Jeong is a forward... his job is to score goals, and good thing the kid is really good at doing so which is why he is at Bayern... Davies is not a forward... Edited March 3, 2019 by LeoH037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still amazes me that we have an 18 year old coming off the bench for one of the biggest clubs in the world! Davies got more hype because he dominated in a professional men's league which while not Bundesliga level still has a good level of play while Jeong transferred as a youth player of Incheon United to Bayern's second team without ever having played in let alone dominated K League. Last year Davies dominated in MLS while Jeong dominated in the German 4th tier. That does not mean Jeong is not as talented or does not have as much potential as Davies but his path so far has been less impressive because he has played at a much lower level and thus understandably gets much less hype. Since they play different positions, if Davies does well and Jeong ends up being as good as Davies that is only positive for Davies since having good players around him will help him succeed. We only have to worry if they bring in other players at Davies position but at the same time they will undoubtedly have other good players at Davies position, both veterans and youth players with potential. Part of being at a bit club like Bayern is proving yourself week in and week out while a lot of guys as good as or almost as good as you are trying to take your spot. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, he is more of an attacking midfielder or second striker, actually. That said, there are people who see him as a winger. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/woo-yeong-jeong-who-is-bayern-munich-s-south-korean-winger-518032.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t think I needed to preface what I am about to say, but clearly I do: Jeong and Davies aren’t the same kind of player. Now that is out of the way... In terms of talent, it depends on what exactly you mean. Is speed talent? Davies looks to have the best speed on the whole Bayern team. I think Jeong has better feet than Davies, who is a better dribbler than most give him credit for. It’s good to have a diversity of talents in any team! The more important thing in your post is when you say that Jeong and Davies will make each other better. That is absolutely true, I believe. It is a good thing to see Jeong join Davies and Sanches in the first team, the younger Bayern can get, the better. The 3 will push each other other for sure!

I didn't recognize the voice and had only been watching the last 15 minutes (or bits of it because there was an overlap with the TFC game).
