The best scouting in Spain is from Monchi at Sevilla. Real Sociedad is very good, as is Villareal. But Monchi, Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo, has been the best TD/scout in Spain and one of the world's best for over 20 years. Equally impressive, he started just when his playing career ended, in his early 30s. Brentford famously got rid of their Academy a few years ago claiming they were a waste of money. However they are bringing it back now due to some new EPL rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 As per the athletic, NF have now spent more than every EPL team aside from a Chelsea, have already effectively spent their projected TV budget for this season, only 3 of their starters have been on the team longer than 8 weeks. I’m bad at sports math, but I wonder if a reason they didn’t include a buy clause in the TFC transfer is that when next summer comes around and the financial fair play rules come around to haunt them, they have a very cheap player who is good enough to play in the World Cup and start for an MLS team as a worst case scenario if they can’t go out and burn even more money. johnyb, Obinna and Northvansteve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 It's a good thing that Forest have spent 157 million pounds on transfers this summer- had they kept Laryea, they might've gotten beat 8-0 instead of 6-0 last night!

I feel like that even happened a couple times in MLS. In the same game as that Chicharito game, the VAR ref wanted MacNaughton to get a red card for kicking a ball away and almost certainly accidentally hitting a player (who then dramatically fell to the ground).

Bison44 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 My son and I were laughing our asses off at this....but in a 8 year old/grade 2 way he says are you sure Lareya wasnt pinching him. He shows me how the bullies do it at school and WHAMMO....I was transported back to the early 70's and older guys twisting the skin on the back of your arm. The teachers never caught them them and they were called horsefly bites. I even remember doing the little dance trying to get away as the older guy pinched my arm. Richie might have gotten away with something. johnyb, MtlMario, toontownman and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 If any player did pinching of Chicharito’s nipple it would be Bradley unless Richie’s hands suddenly switched colour, but I think the only dirty play was the foul by Chicharito on Bradley that wasn’t called that started the fray. Heck, that was more yellow worthy and dirty than the innocuous play that VAR tried to red card McNaughton for (which even the guys doing MLS instant replay are bewildered about) rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I would put the odds of Richie being completely innocent in any skirmish at approximately 0%. HochelagaFC, Ruffian, lowlander and 13 others 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No yellow given, but a foul was called.

Richie might have gotten away with something. You might be right. The left hand on the arm may have just been misdirection. I just rewatched it and his right hand might be grabbing Chicharito in the back or something. He looks like he lets go just as Chicharito drops to the ground. No sympathy from me though if that's what happened. If Richie was twisting some flesh it would hurt while it's happening, but what Chicharito did to Bradley could have had him miss several games if he landed wrong.

That’s less of an indictment of newly promoted clubs and more of a consequence of City being a billion dollar club. I think that also tied a premier league win margin record, so it isn’t like it’s something that happens every week. It’s still early but Fulham is two points out of Europe and Bournemouth sits at 13th. TOcanadafan, gator and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
