maybe the MODS an delete these ****ish posts cos they arent really pertinent to the topic are they? ta in advance OLM.
Actually Henry used to say that the hardest thing about the MLS was the travel involved. Other European players have also complained about it as well. It's certainly got to be hard on you if you have to fly for hours from one climate like NY to Cali a completely different climate and then play an 8 pm game which is 11pm NY time due to the three time zones you have to cross. It wouldn't surprise me if that was one of the reasons he wanted to play in England again. Also, who the **** wants to live in Chicago anyway? Crap city.
I can imagine and understand from when me and the Mrs last went stateside. Two destinations with almost polar opposite climates. Both destinations on the East coast and it was only 3.5 hours flight time I think.
Considering they only have two strikers in their squad at the moment, I don't think there's any chance of him leaving any time soon. Would also rather someone proven rather than another kid.
Yea and there are lots of examples like that. How about Salt Lake with its 0% humidity to one of the southern cities with 100% humidity? Or from SJ at a few feet in elevation to CO that is a mile high in elevation? Or LA which is still hot in winter to Toronto where it is snowing? The travel issue might be the biggest long term hurdle to the MLS. It also might be a way for teams like us to exploit European players before they get used to the travel by bidding for them after they have only been here a bit just like we have done with Maloney.
calm down son... it's only a forum... the doctor has warned you about your blood pressure............. (is that vein starting to pulsate in your temple?) go for a long walk fella. Take some nice deep breaths.you have to be careful at your age.
The transfer thread that keeps giving and giving... I see GLP and Quill are going to have a late one to recover their manhoods and claim the 11000 post. At the rate Bengal and SCB are going, I'd guess this will happen about 3:30 GMT
Isn't that every fans argument when they miss out on a player? I for one am really pissed off about this one. It is exactly like Rhodes deal, won't pay Huddersfield £8 million, every year after that we're trying to sign him for 12/13 million!
Blood pressure is fine, never been a problem. I'm always calm. It's a forum Pattie, don't presume you can work out people's moods. I'm a picture of health.
Tickler mode engaged We didn't dick abel around. I see it's already been said but they only wanted home on loan. Particularly with the potential (expected?) £8m write off of Jake Livermore, where's the benefit to us sending him on loan? He cost a lot of money, is more than capable at this level, and if anyone wants him they came pay his due. There is **** all business sense in sending such an expensive player out for a season with basically no return to replace him. There's every chance he could have hd a ****e season, flopped, come back then we're stuck with his wage along with Jela's and Grays (which would be significant with a £9m fee) without us being promoted. Then we're in the ****. I like Meyler. A lot more than most. But even his biggest fan can't claim consistency is a strong point for him. One minute he could pull off a sterling Huddlestone-esque 40 yard pass on his weak foot or an absolute scorching shot from 30 yards, the very next he could give a simple 3 yard pass straight to the enemy to run on goal or smash the ball over the bar from a yard away from an open goal. I appreciate what he brings to the team in terms of drive and battling and his technical ability is more in line with players in this division but he's about as inconsistent as you can get. He's rarely consistent over 90 minutes let alone weeks. If bruce doesn't have a suitably long list of targets, he's not worth his salt at all. I can find many faults with Steve Bruce but the way he sets up his foundations (scouting/youth etc) along with his incredible ability to target and sign some incredible players, I have every faith that there is a plan B, C, D, E, F, G and probably H, all who will be capable of doing the job we require of them, else they wouldn't be on the list. As I posted before, Gray wasn't the only choice, merely the obvious one. If I have faith in Steve Bruce to do anything, it's to build a solid team. Tickler mode disengaged.
Exactly like the Rhodes deal? You mean, exactly like the one where the entire football world was scratching their heads at the lunacy of paying a ridiculous fee for someone who was largely unproven? If that's the case, I agree.
