Amazing rise of this guy, plays 90 for the probable champion and a Turkish powerhouse. johnyb, Corazon, cronaldo7 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that he is probably in the second tier of our player pool if you think of Davies, David, Larin and Staq as the top cohort. Guys like Buchanan (Brugge), Adekugbe (Galatasaray), and Johnston (Celtic) make a pretty damn exciting supporting cast. We just need a few more guys to excel in advance of 2026 and we will have a squad that is really well positioned to make some history.

Kadenge Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Wonder if Herdman regrets not starting him in the first 2 games at the WC or at least in the Croatia game. He is very sound defensively and is no slouch going forward. Stryker911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone asked any of these players what they learned or took away from the WC? Hopefully someone has written about it and I either missed or have forgotten. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I was surprised when they subbed on Mata and Gomis. Didn’t realize either of them were playing there (don’t really follow Galatasaray). Must be a decent squad if that is what you are taking off the bench. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t a talent thing - it is a position/formation thing. The reality is that we can’t just put our best 11 bodies on the field against top tier opposition. And solving the puzzle of which formation allows us to maximally exploit our talent is still a work in progress.

king1010 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Starts for Gala who are up 5-0 in the second half. If he keep this up it will be tough to not start him this summer. CanadaFan123, NVsoccer, Corazon and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccaliam Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 It’s funny how far we have come in the past few years that we have one of our usual (though not guaranteed) starters playing at Galatasaray and the board is basically like “that’s nice”. Even just 2-3 years ago we would all be hugely excited and this thread would be much more active.

I made a post a month or so ago about how many of our players who are not in the Big Five leagues are regular starters playing for the historically big clubs of the other leagues: Galatasaray, Porto, Celtic, Bruges, Red Star, Malmo, Basel. Any one of those five years ago would have drawn a lot of attention Club Linesman, maccaliam, johnyb and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 He is a guy that I could see missing the Gold Cup. If he stays at Galatasaray they will have Champions League qualification during the knockout rounds of the Gold Cup. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 3rd straight start for Sam. Seems ti have locked down the starting left back spot. Prior to his arrival Leo Dubois was the stating left back. Don't know too much about him, but he has been capped 13 times for France, including coming off the bench in the European Nations League final.
