Deuce Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 that Omar Gonzalez kinda looks like a latin Mike Williamson, scored a goal basically off a set piece. its a sign. Kid's got a bright future. Already a better player than Willo, which isn't saying much mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejaxer Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Even the Americans play better Football than us, and they don't even call it the right name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I wonder if we have eyes on the MLS. We'd be wise to. Whole lot of young talent in the league. Cameron has done an awesome job at Stoke despite never having played RB before this year. Espinoza from SKC is definitely headed to Wigan in the January window. I'd like to see us take a look at Pontius from DCU. Shapes out as an ideal left forward in a 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 you'd think that signing an up and coming American to exploit the rising popularity of Football in America, would be of interest to Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Wish we had been in for Cameron looking back on it. I never though he'd adapt this quickly to the premier league and despite being relatively new on the American scene he is already like 27 or something. Just shows that the MLS needs to get it's players going at a younger age (via academies instead of college) then maybe more would have a chance to move to Europe.

The blessing in disguise about college ball is that it kind of incubates American players. Yes, the quality of college soccer is pretty awful, but Cameron at 27 years old has experienced a lot less wear and tear than the average European or South American 27-year old player. Take Saylor for instance, 6 months younger but has 223 career appearances to Cameron's 152, even after all the time Saylor's missed from injuries.

Kaizero Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 We aren't looking outside Europe IIRC. Think Carr was talking about wanting players that'd take as little time as possible adjusting to the premier league or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Yep, correct. johnnypd made a nice post in the Ashley thread the other day about it. I'd imagine any guys who come from elsewhere (like Good) are merely agents trying to get trials for players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 World game is going to be filled with loads of 35+ Americans that can still get the job done. Look at Friedel, that rickety old bastard. Still moves like a cat. Cherundolo is still firing on all cylinders for Hannover, despite being 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Carr was talking about wanting players that'd take as little time as possible adjusting to the premier league or something. Considering Pards wants to play a strict and boring 4-4-2, maybe he should look more to MLS. Majority of teams there still employ it, might be able to find some players who can actually execute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
