jpg75 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Billy Bitihene is now with Ciliverghe, it's Serie D. Which correct me if I am wrong is 4th division? If the two Lega Pro divisions have merged as was discussed (formerly C1 and C2) then Serie D should now be fourth tier. Bitihene is a '97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Roger Thompson is on the books of Trelleborg in Division 1 Södra although hasn't played a game this season Nice to see him resurface. Third division in Sweden doesn't look too good but they are first in the league and looking to promote this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David C. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Wow, everyone is dropping down a level it seems. Well if they are all starters it aint so bad. I wonder if Benito has been pushing the players to seek better playing/starting situations. There has been a real push for that this Summer. Personally, I think it's terrific (playing at a lower level than sitting at a higher level). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boominbooty Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Agreed. I wonder how much of this recent uptake of Canadian players going to lower divisions where they actually start (rather than higher divisions where they gather dust on the bench) has to do with Floro. On more than one occasion he has commented that some of our players are not starting and are not in top shape. I wonder if there is extra incentive for players to recognize their abilities/potential and get their butts on a team where they will play regularly and perhaps get seen by better clubs AND be ready to represent their country rather than the alternative. I appreciate that other considerations like getting paid (because it is a job after all) plays into it but I wonder if some of them (Edgar, Hainault, DeGuzman, Straith et al.) have recognized they need to play first ahead of anything else. It means that the Canadian team now has fewer players with unattached fc and we have players in shape. Of course, now that I have said this, our top GKs aren’t playing . . bring on Thomas and Roberts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
