Bdog Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I only caught part of the first half but in the few minutes I watched he was looking really dangerous. I like how direct he is, I wouldn't be against him getting called up soon. Obinna, Kadenge and toontownman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Was shocked to see him at RB has he ever played there before? He has had a great season and they have really treated his development well this season after he featured more than anyone thought the year before. He and Johnston have been welcome breakthroughs this year. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLS is doing we all hoped it eventually would around 10 years ago. The list of Canadians U23 with playing time this year is outstanding. TFC Academy seems to be doing a great job, and kudos to TFC for giving so many young lads an opportunity with the first team. Seeing young Canadian break through American teams is always a joy and i consider icing on the cake Edited November 21, 2020 by hamiltonfan Unnamed Trialist, Obinna, sebdeserio and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing out of the back now. He's too raw playing there to be tossed into World Cup qualifying yet. Listening to him being interviewed shows he isn't yet comfortable with his new found glory. Tajon looks better in the back than as a striker but he's probably at the point where Laryea was 1-2 years ago. So, he's not ahead of Laryea, ZBG and other experienced fullbacks (can include Davies also).  Dominic94, Corazon and rkomar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Like Davies I’m not convinced he plays at the back for Canada. Certainly not with Laryea, ZBG, Johnston and Cordova to compete for the RB spot. I think Canada’s wide attacking options right now would be Hoilett, Davies and Buchanan easy. Larin I suppose is another option if he’s considered a wide option, which doesn’t seem ideal but may be suitable given Cavallini and David being scoring machines for Canada.

baulderdash77 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 It’s been interesting watching the past 2 years of player development.  2 years ago we just didn’t have any full back depth; now we have multiple players starting at FB in the MLS or higher levels with Davies and Laryea - to an extent - turning into stars at their positions. Buchanan has certainly been one of the emerging players that helps contribute to this depth.  It’s been great to see him emerge this year- even though he’s mostly a winger at this point.

Bison44 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 And MIller/Waterman at CB....StClair/Hasal at keeper. Nice to see decent options popping up. These are the guys that will be in their prime in 2026 will make up the bulk of the WC roster.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played all year as a RW, just RB the last 2 games. He played great I just don’t know why everyone is pencilling him in as a RB. Besides, we need more depth on our wings. Edited November 25, 2020 by N1ckbr0wn Ivan, Obinna, Corazon and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
