I think its pretty clear that the media tried to deny him the award. we know Pepi is good, no question. but we also know the TB is excellent. Well, we are not talking like its a vote for MVP of the NBA when Michael Jordan / Lebron James were in their primes. i doubt even they got a unanimous vote. But thats what we are seeing here.

Cheeta Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 So Club Brugge must be sending their private corporate jet to the wrong city to pick up the wrong player next month. Those silly Belgians, when will they learn? #americanopinionsmatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfreak Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Barring a minor miracle, Club Brugge won’t be in the Europa League in the new year. They got spanked 0-5 at home to Leipzig today and sit last in their CL group. Their last game is away to PSG. Less opportunity for playing time. Also I was surprised to see Brugge are scheduled to play league leaders Union St. Gilloise on January 26 - a day before Canada @ Honduras. Does Belgium not stop during the International break?

I don't know, but my speculation is that since this January window isn't normally a window, but rather a COVID relief bonus window, and that Europe isn't using the January window for their qualifying, Belgium probably decided to play through it. I wonder if other leagues are playing through it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Belgium not stop during the International break? Woah I am even more surprised to learn that a newly promoted side is leading the league near the halfway point. Wikipedia says that previous to this season they hadn't been in the top flight in 48 years and won their most recent First Division title back in the 1930s. I'd love to hear from someone who keeps up with the league more, but it looks like Brighton's chairman took over the club ownership a couple of years ago, so I wondered if this sudden boost is a product of increased spending but TransferMarkt suggests they've only spent about $2million since taking over (although that is pretty much all of their revenue). They do seem to have taken a few loans from Brighton over the last two years as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Currently Bruge have 2 games scheduled in that window Jan 25 and 28th … Europe doesn’t have an official window scheduled for Jan Also Tajon will be brand new to his club (joining in Jan I think) and be looking to make an impression on his new manager. It takes time for a player especially coming from overseas to settle and Tajon will be looking to get off to a good start be interesting to see if the club release him for theses wcq as for the league 1 and champ clubs they only release players during an official window(their leagues don’t stop for the windows) and you have to have 3 int call ups to reschedule your game… Edited November 27, 2021 by spitfire johnyb, Floortom and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to AFCON and Asian Cup, which are also not during windows (but are even longer). I can’t see his club trying to influence a new player, who isn’t likely to feature substantially anyhow, to stay back.

dyslexic nam Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 And despite the idea that he would want to impress the new club, I can’t see any of our guys choosing to miss the next two windows. Clubs would have to exert a ridiculous amount of pressure to make any of the boys miss the last 6 games of WCQ. sstackho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if World Cup goal scorer is added to his resume, thats an bit of cash potentially for them footballfreak and king1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I don’t watch many US teams in MLS but Buchanan and the Revs are playing NYCFC in the eastern conference semi-finals right now on TSN. Game just went into extra time. Hopping Buchanan can break the game open and win it but they are marking him like crazy when he gets the ball.

Forced a low % shot from distance when he needed to make the pass to his open mid who made a nice forward run down the flank. It's been a good game to watch, from a neutral's standpoint. dyslexic nam and rkomar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find his play in this game reminds me a lot of Davies with Canada (at times)… when gets the ball he’s often trying to do a lot on his own… it’s exciting, the talent on full display but from a team perspective it feels disjointed. I think fatigue might be setting in for everyone at this point. dyslexic nam, grigorio, BearcatSA and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
