He’s an excellent attacker, have watched him living in Orlando. Poch has made him an auxiliary CB in this match. Everthing is down the left side which is illogical. SA are organized but the US are predictable. Freeman, McGlynn and Tillman...

Turgid stuff again tonight. Possession with no purpose. Saudi manager is beating Poch so far.

While the MLS is less than 30 years old, the academy system is even greener. It’s really only been taken seriously in the past decade or so. Before that, the path to pro soccer was through pay to play schemes (and still largely is), and then...

Anyone watched much of Freeman before the last 2 weeks? Of the new guys, he seems to me to be the one that might have a real future in a bigger league than MLS.

To be fair, they do still provide a pathway to the first team for some as well. Lewis, O’Reiley, Foden…

Would be a solid first move for the owners to get him tied down to a long term deal.

3-4x it and sign him to a 5 year contract with a 100mil release clause.

Haven't seen that mate? Any source ive seen have him at 35-40k up from 15k when he was out on loan.

the european thing is also a bit mad when you consider just how much stronger and richer the premier league is now than the rest of europe, with the exception of the obvious big hitters. united and spurs ahve seriously struggled this year and...

I don't like to get into the soft side of the game, but I truly feel this is the first time in our history that many of the players care more about their club teams than the national team. We've programmed them to seek out the best opportunities...

I’m not sure why there’s some unrest in this thread. The lad doesn’t want to be here. He’s not enough to be the main man for a number of reasons. He’s had his moments - thank him and move on.

Even if they play, they aren't good enough for a European league. Sure, playing is better than sitting, but the fact remains we don't have a high quality keeper for the first time in 3 decades

There's something to be said for #3. It gave the whole side a chip on their shoulder. While I don't even think it's arguable our main guys are "better footballers" than what we've had before, they lack the chip on their shoulder that enabled...
