It's widely understood that because the youth system has only recently been given catergory A status, you should only view the very youngest teams as being of category a standard. When the u18s started their football education, they didn't have the very best coaching, facilities, overall...
I hope you're right for their sake, but it all depends what happens at the combine regarding QB's. If one or two are over-hyped again like last year, they'll trade down provided they don't want them. Even if it's only with the 49ers.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the Browns in their...
Yeah that spell of three straight ACC losses (Particularly the Tarheels game) before the defeat against ND kinda killed his draft stock a bit but I don't think he was ever going to go before the 3rd round anyway (Barring a Hackenberg-esque shock). To be Miami's all time pass leader having played...
Weird because people said similar about Dak (his main strengths weren't throwing and that he lacked the poise to play QB in the NFL). I like Kaaya and saw him live last year and think he could play in the NFL easily. Realistically he will have to sit for a year or two.
Be interesting to see if...
I'd be amazed if Cleveland didn't trade down again without a nailed on, unanimously worthwhile QB sitting there in the top 5. Think they decided when they took RG3 that they weren't going to go down the Osweiller gamble/Free agent route so they'll happily wait it out another season. Truth is...
Casey Affleck is one of the worst actors I've ever seen. He can single-handedly ruin any scene and consequently any film he's in. To be honest, that's quite remarkable in its own right.
Of course not. I'd not want anyone who has led a club into administration only to sign a player for £100k + the very day that it (said club) came out of control of the administrators. He's bad news IMHO and I'm glad he's far away enough for this not to be an issue.
Bangor tend to get a "new saviour" every ten years or so who promises to pump money into the club then loses interest after a matter of months. They still think they're a huge club (in Welsh terms) and are still trying to tap into the huge 'potential' they have.
Sorry if fixtures and to bounce this thread again but he has moved at last! Cheaper than I'd have imagined too. For those that are interested Calleri has scored 2 in 2 for Sao Paolo too...
Nowadays with the GPS and Prozone statistical analytics that the club use to monitor our players fitness levels, there is proof that a player playing two games a week will have around a 20% drop off in the second game. Not in terms of distance travelled, more the intensity and amount of sprints...
I like these signings, especially when they're highly thought of domestically. I recall Dortmund struggling to get past Odd in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League this season and Hummells raving about their teenage winger, who, like Mr Bjordal I'd never heard of at the time. I find it...
I'm not worried at all TBH. The only realistic chance of acquiring a top class CF would be if their season had finished/ had not begun (S. American Market) or they were a total unknown (now highly unlikely due to the statistical data availble to most clubs nowadays). There was little chance of a...
Rupert Fryer @Rupert_Fryer on Twitter says: "Deportivo Maldonado "player" Jonathan Calleri is set to announce his future at some stage today. #TheDecision"
It can finally be over...
