Jonathan David at Lille

That Norwegian is 6'5. Jesus

 

Must be something in the water. That, or he's related to this guy - all of the Flos were 6'3 or more.

 

Being heavily recruited ...

"Jonathan David may be the next Canadian to play for a top European side.

Porto, Lyon, Ajax, and Benfica are all interested in signing the soon-to-be 20-year-old this winter from KAA Gent, according to France’s L’Equipe.

The New York-born forward has had a super season thus far, scoring nine goals and assisting seven times in Belgium."

This is a run that needs to be seen to be believed. Truly incredible.

Like a young Donovan.

Davies doesn’t even look like he is trying when he blows by people.

 

He's following Tim Weah's exploits?

 

Hopefully he helps inflate Tim's assist numbers

 

how much do you have to pay fifa to file a one time switchback

 

Like I mentioned in the Canadian thread. If David has Haitan citizenship he would not take up one of Lille's non EU slots because of the Cotonou agreement.

 

I think Tab tried to recruit him but he was pretty set on representing Canada

 

smart decision

 

Lille has serious ambitions to compete

 

I think him and Weah will play well together. Both will stretch out defenses.

I think the most underrated part of Weah's game is how intelligent his off the ball movement and runs are... A defense having to account for the speed the package brings is going to give Weah more channels to make those runs.

 

They have a great Sporting Director in Luis Campos.

 

he's earned it

 

It’s nice to see talented Canadian players staying home instead of playing for England/Netherlands. I wouldn’t have been opposed to having one of the more talented young attackers in Europe repping the US, but it is what it is.

 

Well his other options were US and Haiti.And he only spent time living in the US as a toddler.
