David playing at Inter would be even bigger for our men's program showing that if Davies could end up at Bayern and then David at Inter, that it will inspire more Canadians to not just play for our program but it would inspire them to work towards playing for the biggest clubs in the world.

narduch Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I was wondering how Inter could afford David but they made a lot of money selling Lukaku. So maybe this really could happen. I still think Lille keeps him for the rest of this season Unnamed Trialist, TGAA_Star, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfreak Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Intrusive thought for the day: Jonathan David starts for Dortmund against Bayern in the last game before the World Cup break. 90th minute, 1-1. David in alone on a breakaway. Alphonso Davies comes charging in from behind but completely misjudges his challenge. Both are stretchered off. Canadian fans commit seppuku. ————— In real life, this “Ligue 1 expert” thinks David sells for $75-80M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I think they wait until the summer to sell. They'll likely have more potential buyers at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Unless a HUGE offer comes knocking this window, I agree, summer seems the most likely scenario. I love how David is taking the PK's now. Helps him take a run at the Ligue 1 scoring title and helps Canada when we finally get rewarded a PK.

I had a little browse on an Inter forum and everyone is saying they don't know how they would afford David without selling a another big player like Lautaro.

VinceA Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 One thing I will say in regards to David as a player, he does need to learn at some point how to work as a lone 9, Most teams run that system and if he can't be at least serviceable there its gonna limit where he can play. nolando and TGAA_Star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the crazy thing - I think he still has a fair bit of work to do to reach his potential. He needs to get faster and stronger on the ball. And I think he needs to get better at beating a defender one on one. Yet despite those parts of his game that (IMO) need work, he still manages to score a buttload of goals in a very respectable league. He validates this by scoring goals internationally and in the Champions League. He has a knack for scoring goals that can’t be taught. If he manages to improve on those other areas, he will be a monster. And at 21 he has oodles of time to improve.

jonovision Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Three defenders closed in on David's run, nobody stepped out to challenge Yilmaz. A few minutes later, David sent Yilmaz in on goal who had his foot stomped on by a defender. A bit unlucky not to get a penalty out of it. dyslexic nam and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhCanadaOhBaby Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I hate Bamba I hate Bamba I hate Bamba I hate Bamba Genuinely, the most incompetent player I’ve ever watched. If he is still on the pitch after half It would be absolutely SHOCKING. Weah is just so much more effective it’s not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
