Great I got CBS access so I guess I'll be able to watch these matches after work next two days. For whatever reason despite getting manager pay this week I'm working later hours then a should. Should be getting out Tomorrow at 2;30 instead of 4 but going in later and Fri and Sat getting out at 5.
Despite this Milan news in reporting Jack maybe brought back on short term
A German manager called him the American Havertz. I don't think we need to go into anymore detail. Other then he's a local kid here who Curtain managed when he was still the Union academy manager. Probably the most highly touted youth players in the 10 year history of the club thought Pulusic unofficial was with the Union academy at one time.
I agree, tbh.
With the international breaks and the regular schedule back, I am happy to have just 3 subs again. It favors the top/deeper teams which is why I am not suprised 11 of the 20 voted it down.
You should come to the US thread, we have been talking a lot about him. Very exciting player that looks primed for a jump to Europe. He is being scouted heavily by a bunch of teams, in Germany, Belgium and Holland if memory serves.
Oh I understand that. I just wished more leagues could. There needs to be zero tolerance for this stuff. It gives these leagues bad looks continuing to employee people like that.
that is semantics though I think. Nearly every team in every league in every sport has clauses in their players contracts that allow them to terminate a contract should something bad happen off the field.
The issue is more certain players get special treatment over others or the league gets too gun shy or hides it until the cat is let out of the bag. Example Ray Rice.
I’m referring to the “you represent an entire league” comment. It implies that all 27 clubs got together and decided in unison, when it’s really no different than the Dolphins cutting that guy loose last year for the same thing. The league did it because they own the contract same as the Dolphins.
I would think this year would be a good year to elevate sell-on percentages. Would it be crazy to sell a player like Aaronson for a relatively low fee with a 50% sell-on attached?
I am a huge fan of these type of deals, specifically when the player is going to a likely mid sized team. I love the upside in case he hits big in Europe and then moves up the chain to a bigger team in a few years.
Juve clearly couldn’t compete with the opportunity to fulfill all his ambitions with The Five Stripes in the ATL.
Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Italian teams not named Juve are still not able to retain top talent.
He's not quite quick enough for a top 5 league anymore IMO. His skills though will light up MLS. I think he'd be one of the top 3-4 players in the league immediately.
Tbh, I thought he was Chelsea's best and most consistent player. Not sure, bit it seemed like Frank rode him into the ground and he looked gassed by the end (and injured, iirc).
I disagree. He would start for 50-75% of the teams in the top 5 IMO. He just is no longer good enough for the top teams any more. He will likely make more in MLS than moving to a smaller mid table or lower team in the top 5.
League's changing for the most part. The fact Juve was able to get Ronaldo was a coup. Italian players are getting smarter in terms of realizing pastors aren't greener outside of SERIA A (Seem to struggle other countries) and Fedrico Chiesa is being reported is turning down any attempts by Man United to go to Milan if they can pull that off. Inter is getting Stronger, Milan is in the best shape financial it's been in yrs and experts are saying this is a great transfer market for them to get the guys they want on the cheap thanks to the pandemic, Atlanta people are sleeping on and with another good CL run they should be able to retain guys, Lazio is getting stronger too.
Got a hard time believing this is legit. he was looking at Serie A because of his Wife. I've yet to see anyone besides Manuel Veth make this comment either. Gonna wait to see if any of the big transfer guys make mentions of this.
Always best to be skeptical in the silly season.
I only heard 3 clubs since this started with him. Milan due to his wife fashion wise, I think the other was Napoli or something (Another Italian Club) and a small rumor that Newcastle United wanted him but not sure if that was do to possible takeover or not.
He really impressed in his week as manager of the U-23 team.Bluto Blutarsky said:
I was talking to someone about the transfer and made the joke that Woodward would get the deal done just in time for the January window to close.
