baulderdash77 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 That’s true. Our current depth and quality is better than ever before. 5 years ago Buchanan is an automatic starter. Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Too many RB options now, Laryea, Buchanan and ZBG... Godinho not shabby... and let’s not forget AJ. love the depth of guys who can play at a higher level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I think it’s hard to say he’s starting over any of David, Davies, or Larin up top but there’s a lot to like. To me he’s easily leap frogging a lot of other guys on the roster. More versatile, plays 2-way, very aggressive, and is a real catalyst out there. And he’s doing this at club level too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Tajon looked a lot better when on the attack too, and it's really comforting to know he is a legit option at either of RW or LW with Hoilett going off injured. apbsmith and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatility is a Canadian trait it seems. Everyone can play and has played multiple positions. Davies, Larin, Laryea, you name it.

He’s played RB at club level quite a bit. Now, he’s more of a Alphonso Davies fullback who is counted to bomb up the field, but he’s played here. I’d like to see a few games where he has to stick to a defensive assignment and see how he does. If he can handle that cleanly, I’d put him in as the starting RB. Ceiling here is substantially higher than anyone else in the discussion at this position. LeoH037 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an unexpected shift but a big success. I’m not saying he plays at RB every week only that he has played RB so to mention him for that spot isn’t completely off base Edit: even in some of those games you’ve quoted above.. he’s playing multiple spots over the course of the match.

SoccMan Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Just goes to show you like a lot of our players, Larin, Davies, Hutchinson and many more , you don’t necessarily have to leave Canada at like 12 years old to make it as a good pro soccer player and Tajon is a prime example.

With all of the talent we have at RB and CM, the last thing we need to do is recruit some middling MLS player for these positions.

SpursFlu Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Yah its strange to me. ZBG is a right back, always looks solid. Is the same age as Tajon.

The Beaver 2.0 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Damned impressed by Tajon tonight, for sure. I knew he had the wheels and the athleticism, but it is his soccer brain that most impressed me tonight. Bruce Arena has done great work with the young man. Ceiling is high for this kid. (And, yes, ZBG was also very good.) cronaldo7, Obinna, LeoH037 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And, yes, ZBG was also very good.) I’ve followed Bruce Arena since he was a college coach at Virginia back in the day where he won a few NCAA division I titles with Virginia , yes he was the coach of the ill fated US not making it to the World Cup but also coached the US to a World Cup and advanced them out of their World Cup group . He has coached a good many American players throughout the years in college and the MLS that went on and had good careers in Europe too . I’m not surprised that he saw something in Tajon and gave him playing time with New England, Bruce Arena has has a good track record of identifying talent and he saw something in Tajon and hopefully it looks like he will be moving to Europe soon . rkomar, Floortom, longlugan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I can't wait until he moves to Europe soon https://www.thebentmusket.com/2021/6/4/22519725/new-england-revolution-rumor-tajon-buchanan-headed-europe Reading this article, apparently a Dutch team and a French team have come calling but also 2 Bundesliga teams have also come calling on this kid. But the only Dutch team that I have heard inquire about him is PSV. But French teams that I could speculate on him as far as offers could be (Lille, Monaco, Lyon or Marseille). As far as Bundesliga teams that we could speculate about that could even remotely show any interest in him would be: Dortmund or Leverkusen Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 All of One Soccer kept harping on about Taking at RB when all his great work came once he was pushed up to wing. He's going to be a winger for Canada. The hope is that whatever club he moves to next will use him as a winger. Mikmacdo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies can play fullback because he's a physical specimen so he makes up for lack of experience in that position by just out muscling people. I remember when I was trying to look at a 16 17 yr old fonzie with a critical eye the thing that really sealed the deal for me was when lost the ball he would just take it right back or every challenge he just came away with the ball. Tajon is not that, but really who is? I know everyone wants to get excited but if you want him on the field he has to get behind Davies, David, Hoilett, Larin, Corbeanu or Millar or something like that Edited June 6, 2021 by SpursFlu VinceA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
