This is not the place to to it. Edit: I would like to say this (my original point), if you are a young player, you shouldn't be looking at were you get the biggest paycheck, or what's the biggest club. I don't know a lot of players that were 18 when playing in Russia, before they transferred to, say the EPL or Spain or whatever. If it was me (or if I was advising a player), first become a big player at a small club. That will give you some credit when you do make that leap to a bigger league. Grozny will chew him up and spit him out. "Grozny will chew him up and spit him out"? You really have no clue what you are talking about and are just spouting ignorance based on your own biases and German arrogance. He should move to the club where he has the best chance of developing into a high level professional player and clearly Terek is a much better opportunity for that than Lubeck. If the choice was between Bremen or Dusseldorf and Terek then we could debate whether Terek is the best choice but it is clearly a better choice than Lubeck. And for your information a lot of young players from Africa, South America and Eastern Europe have had good careers signing with Russian clubs. Some of them have transferred to major leagues but most stay in Russia for similar reasons that we do not see so as many Russians in the European leagues as we do players from other Eastern European countries, because the level of play and pay is good. Just to name one example, the Brazilian player Mauricio after 6 seasons with Terek just transferred to Zenit who are past the group stage after quite easily winning a group with Gent, Valencia and Lyon. If Cornelius succeeds with Terek whether or not he transfers one day to EPL or La Liga he will still be playing at a higher level than any other Canadian player currently though the Turkish league is fairly close in level to the Russian and Hutchinson is at a bigger club than Terek.

Totally aree 2. Not so. Using a lot of words don't make them right. We'll see where Cornelius will wind up (and how soon). Btw I'm not German, nor have I lived there.

Yes you can compare living standards in countries objectively without having to live there. It's called comparative sociology. Btw I visit Germany often and I think most can agree it's a nice place to live. Surely there's streets in Montreal where I don't want go in the dark, however that doesn't say Canada is a bad place to live either (referring to what you said about neo-Nazis in Germany). All I'm saying, and maybe it would be nice if you went into this, that it's really hard to break into a high-level football league as a no-body. We know what happens if you don't cut it at the 1. or 2. Bundesliga-level. You get playing time on a decent level (3rd or 4th) and if you show enough there you'll get another chance either at the parent club or at a new club. What happens if you don't cut it at Grozny?

Fussball_eh Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't know anything about Grozny, so I can't really contribute to this debate. However, I do think that Luebeck would be an ideal place to develop. But then again, if he can make it at Grozny, that's a much much higher level!

BrennanFan Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Looks like de Jong is being released by SKC. Hope he finds another club and fast. "You can add Marcel de Jong to the growing list of Canadian internationals who have been kicked to the curb by MLS. The defender was recently told by Sporting Kansas City that he is no longer in the team’s plans. His tenure with SKC lasted all of 847 minutes." http://montrealgazette.com/sports/soccer/international-soccer/lloyd-barker-national-team-suffers-as-mls-gives-short-shrift-to-canadian-talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Great move for Hume... but De Jong needs to get a club ASAP. If he isn't playing in March I'm not sure who the backup LB is.. Ouimette or Adekugbe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 IMO, de Jong will be there in March. Even if he is without club at that time he will still be our best option at LB for that game. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 3 hours ago, Fussball_eh said: A Spanish Second Divison club has signed Iain Hume: Well that is a surprise, did not expecct that. And could not tell you how he came to make that deal, only that their best striker, a Brazilian, Yuri, was just sold to China and they must have had a free roster spot, combined with Humey being out of contract. A couple points above relegation. This is the team that Nsaliwa was signed to help for a few games before they went down to 2B, then came back up almost immediately to 2A. I guess Tam thought 2B was below him. They have a new coach, Nistal, who may be provisional or may stay, depending upon results. Before they had Barragán who played with De Guzman at Deportivo, I think. I've never been to the stadium, Toralín, but walked past it and looked in on the Camino de Santiago, as well as having been through the whole area. A pretty little town, isolated in a lush valley called El Bierzo which is geographically more part of Galicia that Castille, with wine growing, good food, a modest place though. Has an immense power plant a couple of miles out of town, used to be a mining area. Like a lot of teams in 2nd in Spain playing well over their heads in 2nd Div, but have been very competitive and as their defense is good, I think they just need a few goals and they'll stay up. Iain has never played in this style before, it may surprise him, but he is fairly technical and has good pace so I think he'll adapt. The fans are kiling the front office for signing him, they have no idea who he is and do not think he can help at all. One joked that Hume's only condition for signing was that he would not have share a locker with Descartes. hamiltonfan and Fussball_eh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
