Tim Ream - CB - New York Red Bull (4 Viewers)
- Thread starter Bjerknes
- Start date
The complete disection of our once great club will be finalized and confirmed if we start purchasing americans...our whole history stained and soiled for eternity. We will have officially become the italian Fulham, without their grit.
If we truly are now working hard to become a serious mid table outfit, then we should start with some of the more solid players in the leagues where the players and managers actually understand the game...we should bring in Samba. The kind of player who often proves a one man wall against the opposition.
I mean of course, its warming to the heart of the american juve fans, but surely even they can be objective enough to see what such a move would prove, if true??? its akin to signing players from league two in England, perhaps not even to that level...maybe the conference is a more accurate comparison.

And you've seen Ream play how many times? Zero? That's what I thought.
Are you against buying talents from, say, Bulgaria? Their league is worse than the MLS, so why don't you speak out against them? Or how about Australia? Your league is even worse than Bulgaria's.
Ohhhh, it's because you hate Americans. That's why. Now I remember.

hate americans??? thats a strange statement given that 90% of my favourite writers, singers, poets, actors...are americans. To say that I hate a a lot of americans would be as true as saying i hate a lot of englishmen, and especially the portuguese...but ALL??? not in the slightest, old pal. I am anti idiots, not any nationalist as a whole. I need more of a reason to despise an individual, than his blood or country.
...Australia is not 'my' league. I live here, but am not Australian by blood, and have spent the vast majority of my life in europe. if any leagues are 'mine' they would be the english and italian leagues...the standard of football here in australia seems on par with what I see of the primavera. Some useful movement going forward, but nobody seems able to defend intelligently.
I want us to sign quality, not take a gamble on players who have only shown promise in obviously weak leagues which export only a handful of players to the stronger teams in the stronger european leagues...I am aware of many yankees playing abroad, but none of them have ever seemed world class, other than Friedel. Mcbride was good...
We are in a phase of total ruin where we simply MUST purchase proven quality, not take a punt on players completely untested in strong leagues. see that as racist as you please, but i simply want quality. the backyard of scandinavia, or even your beloved US, is fine for looking for kids with amazing potential, such as Sorenson...and that romanian giant we grabbed...but they are not the players who will take us up the table in the NOW.
