dyslexic nam Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 He definitely seems like a guy capable of playing at a pretty high level. The most encouraging thing is the upward trajectory. He seems to be getting more dangerous all the time. And tonight he showed that he can do it against the top Concacaf Teams - not just minnows.

Floortom Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I really like how he’s being more aggressive and shooting more..that’s one thing that I was hoping to see more of in MLS this year. He’s turning into quite a danger man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver 2.0 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 The young man fucks with his cock, is what we're really saying!! We don't yet know how high his ceiling is. Might he even become a better all around player than Davies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong Tajon is a revelation but it would be unreal if he was to approach Phonzie’s level, let alone pass it.

Shway Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 When this kid gets hot, he’s going to be problems!!! He can hit the ball sweetly with both feet. Im a big fan - get his rookie card. Ruffian and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 think it's fair to say that if there were any Euro scouts at today's game, Tajon's stock just got a game stop bump johnyb and The Beaver 2.0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver 2.0 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 No, I know to even suggest Tajon might approach Davies's levels is crazy, but every time Tajon steps on the pitch he gets better. Until we see his ceiling, we simply cannot predict how high he might yet rise. Neither he nor Davies are the finished product, and both are very young. All I know is we're damned blessed to have them both. Kadenge, gator and An Observer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Our much hyped young guy was far, far better than their two hyped young guys (Busio and Dike) on the day. Still, I wish the Caps drafted Dike when they had the chance (and I sense that the Caps regretted that, too, because they took a similar striker in David Egbo this year and it looks like he might be finding his sea legs on loan in USL right now). With his build and attributes, there is a Thierry Henry-esque quality to Buchanon that makes me think he will evolve from a winger into a more central attacker. I'd love see how a Buchanon-David-Davies front three in a 4-3-3 would look. Gian-Luca and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to over-hype, but the data so far gives me reason for optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more than what Tessmann went for. It is less than Busio, who looks to be going for double that (although the rumours include incentives), but the latter is three years younger and that makes a difference. Of course I'd be keen to see Tajon as a neighbour of David and them playing the northern France derby against each other. If Lens is offering this, there have to be other offers out there. And usually one offer inspires others as well. Let's keep the bidding going, and hope Revolution let him go if he does, indeed, want to go.

Honestly, with a good performance I think his price goes up. At his age and with his skill set, there are lots of people watching to see what he can do against reasonably strong opposition. He proved he isn’t just a minnow-killer against Haiti and was a few inches away from grabbing an equalizer against the US. At this point, he is just underscoring the value he would bring to a team. Landing at a mid-level club in a quality European league would be a pretty amazing outcome for him. johnyb and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Costa Rica is an opportunity - even if they aren't as good as they were in years past they are a team that the world respects due to their past World Cups. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 So far all of these clubs would be an upgrade on NE and they are all clubs where he'd likely play heavy minutes. Being in Belgium, Club Brugge would be the lowest level of the 3 offers reported to be in for him, but they are in the group stages of Champions League. If he does well there, which I would expect of him, it should be straight forward for him to jump to a top 5 league, perhaps even a UCL/Europa team in a top 5 league. Then again, he could go to Lens or Augsburg, play in a stronger league than Belgium right away. Hopefully we see what the Portuguese offers are, as well as the other German offers. I still like the idea of him at Sporting. Very similar situation to what he'd get at Brugge, but he'd get to play in a slightly stronger league and maybe stand a better chance of progressing in UCL play. maccaliam and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if Tajon gets sold for something in the Busio range, which would be impressive considering he's 3 years older. Much of the Venezia fee is betting on Busio's potential.
