He's not arguably the Whitecaps best player, he's by far their best player. I've went to see the Whitecaps quite a few times and he's always head and shoulders above any player on the pitch. Genuine class and hardworking. Far too good for the MLS . He'd be one of Scotland's best players and only genuine playmaker (I'm Scottish). I hope we get to see him play for the tartan army soon, as it'd be a huge waste if not.

Gauld’s is a great story and shows how if you want to make it to the top you have got to be resilient. Being hyped up at an early age could easily of gone to Ryan’s head which could of crushed him when he got released by Sporting but instead he got his head down and was humble enough to go down a level so he could show what he is about. It just goes to show the mental side of the game is just as significant as technique and physical prowess.

I'm obviously biased as an American and MLS supporter.. but I do have to say one of the best things about "soccer" here in the US is that we don't mind older players if they are performing. At 27, 28.. Gauld would probably be completely left behind by most European clubs as those older signings are exceptions, not the standard. They likely consider his prime right now, or even a few years back, rather than potentially ahead of him. Old Firm wanted him at 25, would they still want him, objectively a better player, at 30? South Americans and Europeans who get dropped by their academies or don't quite develop quick enough get another chance here in the US to play for longer and develop as some are just late bloomers. Take Jack Harrison for example. Now at Everton, could have very well stopped playing altogether when he got dropped by the Man U academy. Hell MLS all time leading goalscorer Chris Wondolowski didn't get to the 'Quakes until he was 26, where he then went on to score 167 goals and retire a USMNT player, well paid, respected, veteran at the age of 38.

Ryan Gauld left Dundee United to go and play in the Portuguese League, he played for quite a few clubs on the continent before returning to Scotland for a short spell at Hibernian. I gather there were rumours at one point that Rangers were weighing up a move for the gifted midfielder. Not really sure if it was Gerrard or Van Bronckhorst who fancied the look of him but unfortunately it never really came to anything. Vancouver Whitecaps are of course no strangers to Scottish football players with Kenny Miller having played for the Western Canada giants.

Despite the fact that Gauld's career in Sporting didn't pan out in the way that it should've of, he would go on to prove his worth in Farense. He suffered relegation with them in the same season that we ended our 19 year league title drought but Gauld was truly exceptional in Algarve and it's just a damn shame that his time there just happened to be at a club that played better than what their results would suggest (Most teams in Liga Nos were only able to beat Farense by the skin of their teeth). I feel like Jorge Jesus' time at the club was the main contributing factor to him leaving the club as opposed to his lack of first team opportunities since he's always been a manager that prioritizes established players over young talents so that didn't help matters. A lot of young talented players during Jesus' time at the club were frequently loaned out to other clubs in the league (Palhinha, Podence and Francisco Geraldes, etc) so it was no wonder that Gauld would eventually see himself enter "loan hell" until he left. Gauld leaving Britian to escape the toxic tabloid culture should've helped him focus on his game more but unfortunately Portugal is a country that also has a tabloid culture that overinflates the value of youngsters and heavily scrutinizes them if they don't perform to standard (especially if you're a Sporting, Benfica or Porto player). Ryan Gauld is a great "what-if" story because ultimately it was a mixture of poor man-management, unfortunate timing and bad luck that caused him to not reach the potential that he had

Many players, and coaches also dubbed him as the next big thing while in Ryan's age up to until when he was 22 - 23. The dude had the potential to be next Zvonimir Boban, and in the Modric's potential range, and now he is playing in the fifth Croatian league. Anyone who played football manager 2007 - 2010 will probably remember him as a beast. And, btw....the reason why Halilovic's career went downhill was his father.

The video doesn't give Ryan Gauld enough credit for his play for the Whitecaps, as he has been one of the best players in the MLS, not just the Caps. More than a few pundits voiced their displeasure when he wasn't a finalist for league MVP this year. Not sure how serious this is, but there's been some chatter about Gauld getting Canadian citizenship so he can join the Canadian national team. While the video highlights his abilities with the ball at his feet, his greatest attribute could be his work rate. He's tireless in the press with his strike partner, Brian White, and he willingly tracks back to help the midfield and back line.

However due to his strange career path, height and style a lot of international managers wouldnt risk playin him in games, or even call him up to squads.. I dont get that mentality.

Can't decide what the bigger offence is, the pronunciation of Brechin or calling United "Dundee"
Apologies for referring to Dundee United as Dundee several times, a silly mistake I won't be making again. Hope it doesn't ruin your enjoyment of the video too much!
And "Brekkin"... :D
Not being funny but you’ve got a Scottish accent so I’m assuming you’re Scottish… how could you not know the difference?
@@jnwallace2000 I know the difference. Just when I was researching/writing I wrote it down as Dundee, then read it that way when recording. It just slipped through the net pal. What we call an honest mistake.
@@flashbackfootball1367 its odd for someone who is Scottish and has a youtube channel about football to do that, and not only that you called them Dundee United at times too utterly bizarre.
@@oscarslife5497 see my answer above. A lot goes into making one of these videos and these things happen sometimes.
That United team that had Gauld, Andy Robertson, Gary Mackay-Steven, Stuart Armstrong and Nadir Cifti was such an absolute pleasure to watch. As entertaining as Bannon, Milne, Sturrock, Narey, Dodds etc etc.
He's not arguably the Whitecaps best player, he's by far their best player. I've went to see the Whitecaps quite a few times and he's always head and shoulders above any player on the pitch. Genuine class and hardworking. Far too good for the MLS . He'd be one of Scotland's best players and only genuine playmaker (I'm Scottish). I hope we get to see him play for the tartan army soon, as it'd be a huge waste if not.
He deserves a chance but I can’t see him breaking into the starting lineup ahead of McGinn, McTominay and McGregor.
Wow , what a story. Souinds like he really doesn't like intrusive pressure and is happy earning good money enjoying his football. You can see that as a mental weakness or a kid who just knows what he wants out of life. Good luck anyway! : )
We have 3 playmakers in our starting 11, Robertson, McGinn & technically Dykes
If he is so good what is he doing in the Canadian league? I bet he gets peanuts at that level
@@lukebignell7846 It’s the MLS. It’s a higher standard than the SPL these days.
As a Sporting supporter is great to see he was able to turn things around. He came with such high hopes and was sad to see him not living up to its potential in the club.
Sporting at the time he was there didn’t do a great job dealing with talent
As a Celtic fan, it’s nice seeing him play so well for Vancouver, everyone here seems to love him
A hope he comes tae rangers, there a said it 😂
Why as a Celtic fan?
What's it got to do with being a Celtic fan? You might as well say "as a fan of cheese and pickle sandwiches" Your affiliation has nothing to do with him.
@@sandersson2813 Ryan Gauld likes Rangers more
@@horizon4482 Why would he make a backwards move?
I am a Vancouver whitecaps fan and having him on the whitecaps has been amazing, I hope he leads us to the MLS cup
Whitecaps fan here: he plays well, is the interim captain, and easily our star player. Even if he doesn’t get football recognition because he plays in the MLS, he’s getting paid good money, so to him, I am sure coming to Vancouver is a correct career move for him.
I grew up near where he grew up, and I am around the same age as his Dad. I dont know Ryan, but I know his father and you couldnt meet a nicer man
@@McConnachy True that. I caught him out in the wild walking around Vancouver once. Incredibly kind.
He should be in every Scotland squad. I watch his Vancouver games and he creates so much, takes wonderful corners and scorres a lot of goals. Billiy Gilmour recently scored for us, but I was surprised that was his first senior goal in all matches. Gauld should at least be in the squads..
Completely different players. Can't believe you've compared them hahaha
One is playing in the best, hardest most competitive league in the world with incredibly high standards. The other is playing in a Mickey Mouse league. Please use your noggin.
Gilmour is a DLP and Scotland's attacking midfielders (McGinn and McTominay) have recently been among the highest scoring in all international football. They also don't play in a subpar league.
@@johnmitchell2269Yet there many players like Callum mcgregor from the Scottish league. The mls is way more competitive than spfl. I watch both
@@conner1260 Half the players in the MLS are only semi professional.
Him and brian white are a deadly duo at the whitecaps
Its a cry shame for him, i do wish he stay at united one more year then consider moving on. Also thanks for tell me where he is now i do wish the lad all the best and to a certain Mr clarke...now might be a good a timme as any with the euros next summer
Gilmour, hickey and Ben doak all have the potential to be world class players but they need to be developed and nourished so they can fulfil their full potential
Gilmour is overrated sorry mate. Hickey on the other hand, good player and doak could become phenomenal. Though as an Englishman I can only pray he doesn't can't have you lot having a golden generation.
don't need to worry about that when McSauce will play every game
Calvin Ramsey looks a good prospect and Lewis ferguson is doing really well in serial A with bologna, he could potentially earn a big money move to one of the top Italian clubs
Very surprised he does not play for the national team. One of their best technical players and has played at levels higher than the scottish prem and championship unlike some of their players.
This channel is going places! Great vid Sir! 🙏🏾
Would love to see him in the Scotland squad, offers something different
I’m a Dundee United fan and was 12/13 when he was playing for us. Every time I was at a game, he was simply mesmerising. Unbelievable talent and I respect his decisions to stay out the limelight and just enjoy his football
Enjoyed that video thanks for taking the time.
Great stuff man, as a relatively recent dundee united fan i’ve been loving the scottish football videos recently, it helps me learn more about players i might otherwise never know
This video sums up everything wrong with football and scottish football in general. What a team United had in those days, all those emerging stars. Celtic just marched on in and ripped the guts out of it. Nobody can compete. Waste of time.
spot on, Utd were relegated the following season.
Better if the narrator got the team right. Dundee UNITED. Not Dundee - Dundee Hearts or any other club mentioned. In saying that he was superb to watch week in, week out.
I didn't call them Dundee Hearts, I said Dundee hearts were broken. But you're quite right about calling them Dundee United, I'll not make that mistake again. Thanks for watching.
Have to be honest I hadn't heard of him and I was kind of expecting a sad ending, but happily it ended on a positive and hopeful one for him🙂
What a team UTD had then.. Legends.. beautiful football.. skillfull and amazing goals..
Good vid man Glasgow rangers fan here he definitely hasn't had a awful career but calling him mini messi was always gonna effect him one way or another
Love the videos 😊
Gauld’s is a great story and shows how if you want to make it to the top you have got to be resilient. Being hyped up at an early age could easily of gone to Ryan’s head which could of crushed him when he got released by Sporting but instead he got his head down and was humble enough to go down a level so he could show what he is about. It just goes to show the mental side of the game is just as significant as technique and physical prowess.
Gauld is Vancouver legend in the making.
I remember the hype all the way down in Wales, so much so that I signed him on football career modes on footy games I used to play and he became an elite player but real life football is hard to measure in terms of what players will make it at elite clubs. I'm glad he's playing well and enjoying his football and would like to see Clarke call him up even if it's a friendly just to give him a chance to represent his country but like you say players of smaller stature who through no fault of their own got hyped way too much too soon have to work a lot harder than players who offer more physically
We won't pick someone born in Scotland but will consider 2 players from Newcastle. Clarke says its up to Anderson and Barnes. If they do choose Scotland it will be more likely because they know they aren't going to be choosing by England or get that much game time.
We love Gauld here in Vancouver.
i mean ever since he has come to my team (the whitecaps) we have become a much stronger team. hes a fantastic and unbelievably underrated player who brings so much heart to our team. crazy that he still doesn't get called up to the national team. hope he ends up playing for Canada one day, osorio replacement!
It's genuinely baffling why he doesn't get near a Scotland squad. Steve Clarke has done an amazing job and you have to trust his judgement - even if it seems odd to leave Gauld out completely. I have to assume that there is more to the story than just him not being rated as a player.
He's just not that good mate
I respect him for having the bottle to play abroad
Scotlands midfield has many options at the moment who are ahead in the queue. Would like to see him in the next couple of qualifiers to gauge
Always wondered what happened to him, glad hes doing well. Very nice and informative video.
Why the hell are you interchanging Dundee, and Dundee United? Not only two separate clubs entirely, but also rivals. You sound Scottish so you surely know the difference?
I really feel for guys like this, because he just reacted the way any normal person would in that situation. There's a reason all the greats are either thick as pig s**t or borderline sociopaths off the pitch. It's the only way a human could cope with it all.
He shined a lot on my fifa carrer modes , love him
He’s in the right place for himself career wise. Plays every week and they love him. Also on a monster of a wage that will see him good after his playing days are done
Compared to other “Messi clones” like Hachim Mastour, Freddy Adu, and Alen Halilovic, Gauld has had a pretty solid career and is currently one of the best players in MLS. He’s been a continual starter and top player for pretty much every team he’s played for so far.
Freddy Adu burst to the scene together with messi, so hardly a messi clone. Maby you confuse him with Bojan.
@@flyingaviator8158 Interesting thing is that, for example, in Football Manager 2005. Freddy Adu and Bojan Krkic were the best talents in the game. And Messi was awful. He he was still not considered a wonderkid. Even he was older than both Adu and Krkic
Jozy altidore was one of the best players in the mls, it's not quite the peak of football.
I'm obviously biased as an American and MLS supporter.. but I do have to say one of the best things about "soccer" here in the US is that we don't mind older players if they are performing. At 27, 28.. Gauld would probably be completely left behind by most European clubs as those older signings are exceptions, not the standard. They likely consider his prime right now, or even a few years back, rather than potentially ahead of him. Old Firm wanted him at 25, would they still want him, objectively a better player, at 30? South Americans and Europeans who get dropped by their academies or don't quite develop quick enough get another chance here in the US to play for longer and develop as some are just late bloomers. Take Jack Harrison for example. Now at Everton, could have very well stopped playing altogether when he got dropped by the Man U academy. Hell MLS all time leading goalscorer Chris Wondolowski didn't get to the 'Quakes until he was 26, where he then went on to score 167 goals and retire a USMNT player, well paid, respected, veteran at the age of 38.
I wish for you to get 100k plus subs you bloody deserve it with such good quality content you make it's mostly Scottish but thats fine with with me also could you potentially do one about arda güler there's much informational videos about how he came to be
I meant to say there isn't much content about how he came to be ( dyslexia 😅)
'Caps fan here. Gauld revolutionised our entire team. He's one of the reasons we're second in the Western Conference of MLS. They're actually trying to make him a Canadian citizen, but unfortunately he won't be able to be so in time for the World Cup.
Just shows that you have to an iron will, a coach who has an interest and being spot on with every transfer just to have a slither of a chance to make it.
Ryan Gauld left Dundee United to go and play in the Portuguese League, he played for quite a few clubs on the continent before returning to Scotland for a short spell at Hibernian. I gather there were rumours at one point that Rangers were weighing up a move for the gifted midfielder. Not really sure if it was Gerrard or Van Bronckhorst who fancied the look of him but unfortunately it never really came to anything. Vancouver Whitecaps are of course no strangers to Scottish football players with Kenny Miller having played for the Western Canada giants.
there was rumours that the other big 3 were interested in him just before he moved to canada... was really hoping to stick in portugal with either porto or benfica... he is also surprisingly fluent in portuguese !
Any chance of calling them Dundee United?
Yeah, I do a couple of times. My bad for not saying it every time
@@flashbackfootball1367Did you know that saying "my bad" is a capital offence?
@@sandersson2813 apparently not as much of an offence as saying Dundee...
@@flashbackfootball1367 I think people are justly calling you out on lazy journalism. It's a fair comment. It's like saying that Marcus Rashford plays for Manchester City.
Give the lad a break, lazy lol this video is anything but lazy!! Good job pal keep it up. WATP
Another brilliant video. Don’t know where you find all the clips from!!
Thanks man! From Google and KZhead man! KZhead search is a bit shite nowadays but can still find most of what you want, eventually.
Could have been a top top player but left Dundee utd a season or 2 too early, still ended up a good player with a few good years still left in him but I thought he would have played at the very very top with a Liverpool, an arsenal or a big euro team. Would love to see him capped though as he's good enough and deserves that recognition.
Despite the fact that Gauld's career in Sporting didn't pan out in the way that it should've of, he would go on to prove his worth in Farense. He suffered relegation with them in the same season that we ended our 19 year league title drought but Gauld was truly exceptional in Algarve and it's just a damn shame that his time there just happened to be at a club that played better than what their results would suggest (Most teams in Liga Nos were only able to beat Farense by the skin of their teeth). I feel like Jorge Jesus' time at the club was the main contributing factor to him leaving the club as opposed to his lack of first team opportunities since he's always been a manager that prioritizes established players over young talents so that didn't help matters. A lot of young talented players during Jesus' time at the club were frequently loaned out to other clubs in the league (Palhinha, Podence and Francisco Geraldes, etc) so it was no wonder that Gauld would eventually see himself enter "loan hell" until he left. Gauld leaving Britian to escape the toxic tabloid culture should've helped him focus on his game more but unfortunately Portugal is a country that also has a tabloid culture that overinflates the value of youngsters and heavily scrutinizes them if they don't perform to standard (especially if you're a Sporting, Benfica or Porto player). Ryan Gauld is a great "what-if" story because ultimately it was a mixture of poor man-management, unfortunate timing and bad luck that caused him to not reach the potential that he had
He’s doing great. Enjoying his football and making a living. Fair play
Definitely good enough to make the bench for Scotland. Hard to make the lad come all the way over for friendlies though. He wasn’t at his best for Hibs but glad to see him doing well in the States.
*Canada. They get pretty upset when you call it "the states" or "America". It's just about the only thing you can say to make a Canadian upset
@@shaunnichols1743are you thick? He plays in the MLS mate.
@@ekzxty bro, what country do you think Vancouver is in?
@@shaunnichols1743 you realise the Whitecaps participate in the MLS, which while is technically a league consisting of both Canadian and US American football clubs, is known for being the USA football league.
One of the biggest talents I have seen to fail miserably and destroy their career was undoubtedly Anas Sharbini. Many players, and coaches also dubbed him as the next big thing while in Ryan's age up to until when he was 22 - 23. The dude had the potential to be next Zvonimir Boban, and in the Modric's potential range, and now he is playing in the fifth Croatian league. Anyone who played football manager 2007 - 2010 will probably remember him as a beast. And, btw....the reason why Halilovic's career went downhill was his father. You can research that story if you wish so.
Fair play to the lad
Its dundee united not dundee!
Yeah I know, but its a pain in the arse to say Dundee United every time. But you're right, next time I'll not be lazy and either call them Dundee United or just United.
@@flashbackfootball1367Dundee are Dundee Utds rivals

Dundee the big team in the city 🤫
@@shanesloan3859Hibs bigger than both 🤷♂️
At that time Sporting CP was really in a bad spot and we went through variouse managers that didnt really understood how to the use the academy players, but if Ryan Gauld was able to play for sporting again I have no doubt in my mind with the help of Ruben Amorim I think he would be great a player in our line up
THATS MY PLAYER. MY CAPTIAN.
The video doesn't give Ryan Gauld enough credit for his play for the Whitecaps, as he has been one of the best players in the MLS, not just the Caps. More than a few pundits voiced their displeasure when he wasn't a finalist for league MVP this year. Not sure how serious this is, but there's been some chatter about Gauld getting Canadian citizenship so he can join the Canadian national team. While the video highlights his abilities with the ball at his feet, his greatest attribute could be his work rate. He's tireless in the press with his strike partner, Brian White, and he willingly tracks back to help the midfield and back line.
He didnt play for dundee, thats a seperate club that is arch rivals to Dundee United
Genuinely surprised Scotland havent capped him. Its not like theyre bursting with superstars. If Billy Gilmour get games so why cant Gauld? Its weird. Reminds me a bit of Wes Hoolahan for Ireland. It tooks ages for us to cap him even tho lots of Irish football fans knew he was a classy footballer. However due to his strange career path, height and style a lot of international managers wouldnt risk playin him in games, or even call him up to squads.. I dont get that mentality. Especially as we were average anyway so whats the harm in calling him up? Whats the risk? Scotland should play Gauld. Give him a chance to show what he can do.
Must have been good that he could play for Dundee and Dundee United at the same time.
Hahaha belter. I was thinking the same, why not say United?
Still think of John Greens nickname for him, “The Gaulden child”
William, Joao Mario and Adrien were only Portugal's Euro 2016 european champion midfield
Would love to see him in the Scotland squad I don’t think Steve Clark has forgotten about him I think it’s just now there is too much competition in our squad for that attacking midfield position, I’m pretty sure if he was an out rite no9 or no11 he had no problem getting in
Think mls defences are the issue for Clark. Pretty weak so the change in level to international is huge. He's talented enough but not getting tested enough in mls imo
@douglasbertram8592 Scotland squad, too much competition??? yeah we’re blessed with an abundance of attacking midfield talent😂😂😂…
This guy is a success. He makes 2.5 mil a year. More than what many will make in a lifetime.
Love watching this guy in Vancouver. He's sick.
sounds like he's doing well for himself. playing football and being happy where he is
I cannot understand why Gauld has not been chosen to play for Scotland. He is simply brilliant - but unfortunately sometimes even the brilliant can be overlooked.
I’ve not heard of him for a while I thought he had packed it in how old is he now ?
Only 27
Personally he should have gone to brighton. They have done so well with their youth players
Never heard of this kid....I'm enjoying this video (half way through) and wondering whats gonna happen to him (Edit) looks like that move to portugal was a disaster...went from first team in Scotland to development football..shame...but glad to see he's back happy and playing in Canada
Ryan gauld he goes where he wants 😂
Edit - that's not Anthony Stokes, that's some balding guy..
I remember waiting for fifa to come to just sign him in career mode
im a scot and always wanted him involved..... lovely player
I always buy him for my PES teams
An upgrade to Christie, Armstrong and McLean... Get him in the Squad!!!
Putting that tag of The Scottish Messi wasnt the best way to start his career. He was unbelievable but that pressure can kill a guys career before its had time to begin. He was s decent player but overhyped like That kid From.Ranhers who was dubbed the Scottish Rooney Sheffield utd he ended up playing for Cant remember his name but you see where this is going. Neil McCann the poor mans Ryan Giggs 😂
Rooney grabs a point from the jaws of victory. Three points against BOTTOM team should be a given. 🎉
Wow , what a story. Souinds like he really doesn't like intrusive pressure and is happy earning good money enjoying his football. You can see that as a mental weakness or a kid who just knows what he wants out of life. Good luck anyway! : )
Never heard of him. If you choose canada over the auld firm then I think that says it all
He needs a go in the national side
Like who wants him he’s happy doing well good on him
Gauld would never get into our National Squad
Bruno Cheyrou was the new "Zidane". Probably better than his time at Liverpool ever demonstrated, but another of those players whose closest connection to the person they're meant to emulate is their hairline.
Stevie doesn't rate him good enough for Scotland , in 2025 he'll be eligible to start playing for Canada .
Coming from a Sporting fan really wanted to have seen him blossom there... really liked him, and had really high hopes for him... but he never proved to have much resilience or a true will to play... although I somewhat always thought he should have had more of a chance... he kinda always gave off a vibe of being too soft... glad to see he found his level in Canada... all the best to him
Bit disrespectful saying his levels in Canada. Whatever went wrong wasn’t to do with his talent.
@@henrymcvey6538 Mindset is a talent as well though. Just like being able to work hard is. People often say hard work beats talent, but tend to forget that working hard is a talent
Once he said Zidane the greatest of all time, i'm out. There will only ever be one Pele, he did everything on the ball Messi does 40-50yrs previous and not on lush carpeted pitches, lighter balls, better slippered boots and the list is endless. Zidane?. PFFTttttttttt.
Zidane = GOAT
he shudda went brighton
Interesting thing is that in Football Manager 2005 ( at least no-patched version); Freddy Adu and Bojan Krkic were the best talents in the game. And Messi was awful. He he was still not considered a wonderkid. Even he was older than both Adu and Krkic, 2 and 3 years respectively
Zidane and Bellingham are completely different players I think. Whoever is comparing them is miles off.
Who had been Scotland's best player since Ally McCoist? David Weir?! Charlie Adam? Scott Brown? Andy Robertson?
Bellingham will be a multiple ballon d’Or winner
that's interesting.
He’s not failed in any sense. He’s had a professional career and played across the world. That’s all you want as a kid. And the money helps.
Be a naturalised Canadian in about a year I think. Hopefully, the Canadians wont be as stupid as us and get him capped. Should be getting a shot on the international stage.
Jackie McNamara...DUFC leg-end.
Cherishing every time they get called Dundee. Tin pot club.
Jorge Jesus os notorious here in Portugal for not giving youngster chances. In Benfica he wouldn't even play Bernardo Silva after he was the top scorer in Benfica B he was a joke. Cancelo would barely get a minute either
I think this is a lad who will rue a lack of major medals, once he retires. An absolute talent.
An interesting pronunciation of Brechin...
