You may not like the guy, but that's no reason to defame his character with blatant lies. If anything, he has done the opposite in regards to Davies. If anything he likely knows the kid better than anyone on this board, as he has had actual intimate conversations with him multiple times, and is likely in a better position to judge his character than anyone here. He literally does it all the time in fact. He did it yesterday and admitted that he's done it in the past. He said anyone who thought he would factor in to Bayern so quick would be kidding himself. He said that because he was on record saying he wouldn't. So now he has. So that's a really funny way of saying you were wrong. Why would you accuse me of not telling the truth about information that is publically accessible? Look he's a pundit. He gives his opinion. Doesn't mean he can't be wrong. Media people are on the air all the time shaking pom poms. I'm just curious to know why he's so reluctant to shake pom poms for Alphonso Davies? And further.. this is why soccer media in this country sucks. We have one or two guys who go around and everyone accepts them as the gospel. For instance I was watching Fox Deportes last night after Leon lost and they were having a melt down. 5 guys arguing completely disagreeing. All I could think is wow, you would never see anyone challenge any opinion on air talking soccer in Canada Edited February 28, 2020 by SpursFlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, there’s no way most people thought Davies would be doing what he’s doing and so quickly. He’s there because of a series of injuries in the Bayern squad that resulted in him getting playing time. I don’t see what Kristian Jack has stated to be in any way negative; conversely, he’s been pretty supportive of Canadian soccer and Davies.

I said he would do what he's done for all the reasons he has done what he's done. Phonzie is a freak, (not because he could do a couple step overs and run fast)MLS is underrated and it's easier to play great football playing with great players. I said that and I heard other people say it. I also said he has undeniable star quality. Clearly that's also true. So when your right your wrong?

First.. just because you can say a lot of people were aligned with your way of thinking (apparently) it doesn't mean you weren't wrong Second.. When people are excited because a 19 yr old Canadian is the talk of the football world and people in Vancouver, where he is an absolute hero, are asking you to comment on it, just be excited bro. Get carried away like everyone else. Dont start the exchange with "yah but.... blah blah blah" pretend he's Jozy Altidore or Jonathan Osorio or whatever you got to do. Just be excited. Its easy Edited February 28, 2020 by SpursFlu narduch and CANMNT_SUPERFAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow, KJ will be waxing poetically about every run of the mill MLS player and why this MLS season is poised to be the greatest ever because all the off season moves have been amazing.

SthMelbRed Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I've only seen him on TV a few times during visits home, but I'm pretty comfortable with saying Kristian Jack is a very shit pundit. I get far more insight talking to a random dude down at the pub than I have ever gotten from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I don’t mind KJ. Yeah, he pumps the MLS but that is his job. I am not going to pretend that makes him any worse than anyone else who stumps for their pay check. I have liked him since the Score days.

Bison44 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I dont mind KJ either. He seems to know his stuff. Look at some of the other goober pundits on TSN...geesh. I also dont care what he thought about Davies going to Bayern or what he thinks now, Everyone had an opinion and is entitled to one. I havnt seen where he has slagged Davies, but KJ not being as excited as the biggest Davies fans isnt a crime. We are the fans, we are the ones supposed to lose our minds. As for Davies, I didnt think he was going to walk onto one of the best teams in Europe and dominate. Plenty of people on this board were hoping for a nice loan out this season. He has upped his game10fold and deserves all the attention and praise. I think most of us were hoping he could break through, but its mind blowing to think hes done it so quickly. It could have gone the other way very easily, he could have been buried on the bench with no chance to shine.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I think lots were itching for Davies to go on loan - 74' in all the last half of last year, no more than 45' in any game in the league until late October this one. Probably the only reason I wasn't is that I tend to default to players staying where they are until there is a very compelling reason to change. But sometime you need an opportunity to show what you can do, he got one and did. Long may it continue and be repeated. And we need to use it, as crass as it might sound. cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Anyone catch the Bayern game? Looks like Davies was subbed of at 63’ so I am hoping he didn’t get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are up 6-0 and have made all substitutions, I’m not watching the game but I’m assuming it’s just because they are cruising. h coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some crowd trouble about that time. Will check once our game is done. But part of it was probably they wanted to give Hernandez some minutes.

Alex Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The bayern fans insulted the hoffenheim billionaire owner who apparently is very disliked in Germany. The last 10 minutes was the players just kicking the ball amongst themselves. It appears to be a show of solidarity, I just wish the same thing happened for racism.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Phonzie was hurt and recovered shortly before the game was suspended so I just figured it was precautionary. dyslexic nam, johnyb, WestHamCanadianinOxford and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I think the issue is the thought is the owner props up Hoffenheim because they're traditionally not a huge team. You know like Chelsea and Man City. That's what I read, maybe I'm wrong. People have een threatening his life and supporters have displayed banners saying they're going to kill him and members of his family.

Chelsea made the Champions League before Abramovich and City has a been a 1st or sometimes 2nd tier team for pretty much all their history. From what I read Hoffenheim were an 5th division team when this guy took over. Also an interest thing I found in my reading, Flick - Bayern's current interim(?) coach was the same with Hoffenheim back in those 4th tier days. Probably explains his reaction today.

baulderdash77 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Davies played good today. Not as electric as some other games but he had his moments. They talked about him quite a bit and I hadn’t realized that he’s started 21 straight games which is the longest for Bayern this season so far.

Sure but I think it's been accumulating for a while and supporters have been warned so it just didn't happen in a vacumn. Anyways I don't want to derail. I'm no fan of the Red bulls of the World and agree with a financial fair play and people voicing concern etc etc but at a certain point it just comes off as froot loopland and people should put things in perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
