Alphonso Davies

[xMatMcC]

Pep would adore Davies. A natural LW growing up/in the MLS that adapted to LB at Bayern instantly. Has played all 3 forward positions for Canada, along with LWB. I think he could slide into midfield in no time too if necessary. Could play many roles at City and still so much room to grow. He creates chaos. A good likeable lad too. Unlike a certain LB we employed earlier this season.

F** the Bundesliga we'll take all your talent.

Now we’re talking.

Imagine this kid overlapping Jack for the pull back.

The threat of him overlapping would also allow Jack to cut inside more as RBs would be shitting themselves.

Those two would absolutely terrorise every ****.

Delicious.

Didn’t Bernie tear him a new one last week? And Bernie isn’t a specialist wide man.

Bernardo's one of the very best players on the planet and tears pretty much anyone apart whenever he plays.

If that's the yardstick then we wouldn't sign anyone.

But if he (Davies) is as good as the hype suggests, that shouldn't really happen. Specially not to a "non wide man", should it?


And I'm not questioning Bernie's talent. We're blessed to have him.

When was the last time you remember a defender getting the better of Bernardo anywhere on the pitch?

That's a serious question, I'm not taking the piss. From deep in the centre of midfield, to right wing, to the opponent's box, Bernie will run rings around anyone you put in front of him. He's got genuinely flawless technique and balance.

We're obviously not going to agree on the issue. Anyway; Ake hasn't let anyone down so far, has he?

Daily Schmankerl: Manchester City, Real Madrid plotting move for Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies; Liverpool to make mega-bid for Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia; Sadio Mané not headed back to LFC, but Ryan Gravenberch might still want to go; + MORE!

Just one more day until Bayern Munich and Manchester City go at it again.

Not only about Davies, but promising sign.

The Liverpool- that Napoli winger link would crack me up if it happened, letting their midfield rot further while bringing in another mega money forward that doesn't score much.

Tear him? Bernardo dribbled him a lot, but Davies pace allowed him to recover every single time. Despite Bernardo dribbling him, I don't remember a single chance he could create because Davies was immediately back next to him.

Not to mention he created a lot of trouble offensively. Davies is literally the only world-class FB in the world right now. There are elite defensive fullbacks (Ake, Araujo, Walker), elite offensively (TAA, maybe Dumfries), elite at creation (Cancelo,Zinchenko), and some that are good, but not elite at both (James, Balde, maybe Shaw, Robertson) Davies is the only FB elite at creation and offensive that is still quite good defensively.

For me, he would be the best possible buy this summer (above Bellingham) and we would be set up for the next 8 years defensively.

No but it means we're one injury away from playing Bernardo there again. Last time that happened he just spent the first 45 mins kicking the shit out of Saka.

Which was admittedly fun.
