Obinna Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 If we are talking about wingbacks I want Laryea starting in the big games with Tajon coming off the bench if we are needing a goal. For the lesser games I want Tajon starting in order to get experience. I also want ZBG to be getting reps. I know it's hard for him, but he needs to be rewarded now and then. He definitely took his chance well in June. Literally couldn't have done more and still didn't get a call to the Gold Cup. chris_yzf, Ruffian, Dominic94 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 With Davies gone, I can see Buchanan starting the majority of games. This is his chance to make a statement, both to any scouts watching, and to the CMNT coaching staff that he is starter material moving forward.

He definitely plays with a certain confidence. We’re going to need a bit of individual brilliance in the absence of Davies. Good opportunity for him to step up.

You are right, they may not let him go this summer but I would say the offseason is a virtual certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already seen that if you go to europe too early and end up commanding a lower fee, it limits the player’s opportunities. Its best to go for a good fee, that way they wont shuffle you off (via loan) to some lower club or division or make you sit on the bench. I really dont see what the rush is for player like this to go to Europe. Lets see him dominate the league first.

But none of those are “really big” clubs. They can have their moments of glory in a given year but they can have years where they suck. In two of those cases, they are big but dont play in strong league with good competition throughout. Edited July 14, 2021 by Free kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont see what the rush is for player like this fo go to Europe. Lets see him dominate the league first. There are definitely benefits to him staying the rest of the season. New England are having a strong season and he's been a big part of it. He's on pace to reach double figures in goals and assists. Should he rack up those numbers with New England winning a trophy, or at least coming close, that would count as "dominating" the league. The transfer fee would be much larger than if he left in the summer, meaning he'll likely go to a BIG club rather than a big club, if you know what I mean. I don't see the likes of Sporting, PSV or Salzburg paying an 8 figure fee. johnyb and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My (hot) take is better to go during the European offseason than mid-year in January, especially as a player who will likely be developing rather than contributing right away. He already did well in the later half of last season in MLS / playoffs and has carried that over to this year. There is no need to drag out his stay in North America.

apbsmith Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Just curious has he mentioned he wants to go to Europe? Or has New England mentioned they want to sell him? I mean at this rate and the way he is playing he could be very well getting an offer of DP money by New England sometime soon. I mean 90% he goes to Europe but would that not be a possibility as DP MLS player? Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, under their current coach, they employ a system that relys imensely on the wingbacks and wing play. Moreso than any other team.

Atalanta could probably afford to pay a decently sized transfer fee for him as well. To my knowledge though he hasn't been linked to them yet.

He needs to be putting up record numbers or challenging the stats leaders to be considered DP worthy. If it’s money he’s after, Europe is the way. If it’s advancing his career that he’s after…Europe is still the way.

Because he's rolling and because WCQ is just around the corner and such a small window, I'd just hate to see him go to the wrong place in Europe and sit on the bench. Will be interesting how this plays out, that's for sure. Edited July 14, 2021 by apbsmith Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
