Vancouver is just a pain in the ass to get to. 4 additional hour flight for a game vs French Guyana? Doubt he's too upset he's missing it. Or Montreal, Ottawa or even St John’s. I bet it is someone at Bayern realizing where in Canada the game would be played and saying to themselves “12 hour flight for a what-league qualifier? Nein!!” BearcatSA, Addona and Cheeta 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Well, this won't help the wise socceronly's nightmares when he sees that goal celebration. And just a reminder, last time Canada played French Guiana we won by 2 goals, with Davies scoring 2 goals. Edit: And Arfield (also announced out injured today) got one of the others. The only other goal was scored by Jakovic. Edited March 18, 2019 by Kent Nello 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Osorio or Kaye starting over Piette, both are more attack minded, and Hutchinson (who is a no brainer starter) can play the defensive role.

Keegan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Why don’t we bring him anyway for the match and to see the squad? Isn’t there a rule where a club needs to release a player to be evaluated by their national team or am I imagining that? I think it would be worth it for the PR and also to send a message for potential future instances. SpecialK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 44 minutes ago, Bertuzzi44 said: Not sure this is the match the 'put your foot down' versus Bayern Munich on... I don't think this is 'putting your foot down'. It's more about setting a precedent politically. We obviously agree that he isn't going to play or train and we agree to it but we are basically sending a message saying "hey, we're not saying you did here, but just in case you ever tried to pull this kid with a little niggling injury we're gonna call your bluff in the future". We don't know the full story so maybe there has been some back and forth. But if it went down like Bayern called Canada Monday morning and said "Hey, Alphonso picked up a knock so we're not releasing him" and we just went "Aww, that sucks, okay" we're setting ourselves up to be bullied by a massive club. Big teams don't like to release their players and they wouldn't if they didn't have to. When they play for big nations there's nothing that they can do - but a guy like Davies with a nation like Canada, they'll want to strong arm us. Maybe this is a legitimate knock, maybe it's a convenient excuse... who knows. But either way we should call him in to evaluate him. Why would Bayern be pissed at that? If they were that would make them even more suspect. What's he going to do hang around the training ground for 10 days? He's apparently "injured" right? I also disagree that this is a small match. 1) Canada's most important match since July 2017 and 2) Canada's first call-up dealing with a massive (first-team) club. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's definitely not a small match. The result determines if our Nations League games are against the likes of USA and Jamaica or Belize and Aruba. Plus the outside chance we could miss out on the Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Im going to the game, And im good. I actually think its best that he stays at Bayern if they feel they want him to carry a load down the stretch. It also gives Herdman an opportunity to really look at a few other players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid is 18. Even in 2 years, developing in this environment, he is still just going to be 20 and nowhere near his prime. I think some get a bit twitchy when he sits on the bench, but there is so much we will see from AD in the coming years. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcalibre Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This reeks of Davies finally getting a place in the Bayern team and everyone involved agreeing that it would be better to keep that momentum going. Even though this is a FIFA date it makes sense. I'd happily trade it for Davies at the Olympic qualifiers in October but I somehow doubt it...

PhillyCanuck Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Sounds like there's still a chance Davies will make the trip to Vancouver... Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
