Mitch Curry joining Inter Miami

Hope he phalls flat on his face.

 

Very strange, I had high hopes for the lad when kimpi got injured early November, he scored a brace for the u23. Wonder if it was a timing thing with his contract, we should have tied him down earlier but didn't show any interest under Donald?

 

It's his loss mate, we'll do fine without him.

 

I've got no problem with a kid heading to Miami to earn his living.

He is a lucky boy who will live a life most of us can't dream of.

 

Hope you’re joshing.

 

Fair play to him. Didn't do Defoe any harm.

 

Ended his England career, but I guess that was happening anyway.

I find it impossible to blame the lad. Go and live in Miami, play for Beckham... aye that’s decent.

Good luck to the lad. Not like Maja he’s done nowt to show he was stepping up, and at 21 you’d expect to have seen some progress, given we are third tier.

 

Oh I don’t blame him. Just can think of much better places to play for ”football” reasons. I’d have loved that type of opportunity at 21!

 

Scored for fun, 7 in 10 games, wish Donald had managed to tie him down

 

Is he any good is the question I guess.

Should be getting games by 21.

 

What I meant with the Defoe comment was it didn't end his career, even into his 30s.

 

Aye, could actually argue it gave him some hunger back he missed the more competitive game.

He certainly didn’t come to us off the pace or in bad shape.

I’ll never wrap my head round swapping him for Altidore.

 

I'm thinking that if things go to plan and we are promoted and the futures bright under these new owners, he will probably think he will never be part of our plans. We can now buy our players in. If Donald was still in charge Curry would probably feel that he could easily break into the first team at some point. Signing on for a few summers in Miami now or risk signing for a few winters in, lets say, Morcambe later? Its a no brainer really. Then theres the fact that, I'm lead to believe, that football development is state of the art over there, a few years over there might be good for him, and he might come back to UK as a better player.

 

I suppose at 21 he should be playing regularly for us if he was good enough. Maybe destined for a life in the lower leagues at best so to get an opportunity to play in the MLS is something he’d find hard to turn down.

A new exciting chapter in his life and if it doesn’t work out at least he can say he had a go and enjoyed the experience. If he was my boy I know what I’d be advising him to do.

 

Good luck to him but what does it say about the MLS that one of their bigger teams are signing a lad who can't get in to a third tier English team?

 

Must go down as possibly the greatest transfer business our club has ever done?

or the biggest robbery since Ronnie Biggs??

 

Us or anybody else mate!

 

Did we offer a new contract, or is this simply a lad arranging a decent move ahead of being out of contract in the summer?

 

Pub League!!
