toontownman Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Enough about this Simmons lad..when do we naturalize Dembo Saidykhan and spend years fretting about another dual national race before he disappears off into obscurity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northvansteve Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Started the season opener for Whitecaps 2. I continue to be impressed with him. He's big and fast. He wins the ball, controls it and progresses it very smoothly. He's got a hard shot from range. Never seems to be out of position. Played the full 90 next to Badwal and those two absolutely dominated the midfield. Think a young Mark-Anthony Kaye type. At this rate, very much see Simmons up with the MLS team before the year is done. aredding77, Unnamed Trialist, nolando and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phresh Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Was a bit disappointed he didn’t get any game time with the first team in preseason, he’s a classy player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footyeh Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Was a fan of this player in his brief apps last season. He was with the 1st team for a portion of preseason but played as a wingback before being sent home. I think he has a role in the 1st team as CM depth.

So he in theory should be ready for sub/starter minutes next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your praise of Simmons was a little over the top after match #1, but I'm coming around to your side after match #2. I thought he was the best player on the pitch on Saturday.
