apbsmith Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Price tag going up and up. It was smart on his agent, revs, and him to take his time. The more his name gets tossed around in the media, the more teams start doing some deeper scouting and the more interest from other teams seemed to have appeared to be in the race. Good news is with a higher price tag = investment = minutes for him. Really happy for him, I wonder if it is taking a bit longer because the revs want a loan back to them for their playoff and supporter shield run in? johnyb, Metro and Unnamed Trialist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Since I'm planning a trip to Belgium this fall I'm in a Brugge mood. But I think the higher the better is the best formula, in general. At his age I think B1 and then move up teams within the league, or across to other top leagues, is more reasonable than Belgium, then after a few years moving to a top 5 league. Any side paying this sort of transfer fee is not going to sell on that quickly, he'll be locked in for 3+1 at least. Unless of course he absolutely kills it. In relation to @apbsmith above, true. The other thing is leagues are starting and teams are seeing where they are at. Those seeing glaring holes, with new injuries, or faltering these first weeks, will be saying: well we better move now. Teams are nervous this time of year, which benefits certain kinds of transfers.

Don't want to go to that dumb league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobasew19 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I don't understand why a team like Juventus wouldn't be interested. They need help on the wingbacks and he's decently priced when considering how frugal Juventus is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Tajon is an example of how quickly things can change for a relatively young player and why projecting a player's ceiling is dicey. 1 yr ago, I'm not sure anyone would have predicted he would be our 3rd player in a top 5 league. Playing time is so important for 18/19/20 yr olds and having a coach that is supportive can make a world of difference. johnyb, apbsmith, Ruffian and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're trying to be clever given all the terrible takes as of late, but come on, you can do better. RS and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Tajon isn't Messi, he's like the rest of top footballers, he has to defend. He even admitted he blew the coverage on the US goal and needed to do better, that's a mature young player--not like some who think he's exempt. lamptern and apbsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both know that's not at all the point I was making by my original comment... either you're being disingenuous or.... yeah... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe not a coincidence that former US team managers have been the best in providing a platform for Canadians on MLS US-based teams. Bradley with MAK, Arena with Tajon & Ramos with Pasher.

VinceA Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Should be noted that a number of Bundesliga pundits are predicting this is the year Augsburg get relegated. They lost a number of guys and didn't really replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
