Crew signs Brazilian defender Gláuber Berti

Other than a few youtube videos and a Manchester City's fan twitter scouting report what do you have that proves your statement?

 

You'll see for yourself on March 2.

 

Or maybe not if Bob decides to keep him on the Berti.

 

That doesn't answer my question. I am just asking how you know this? He very well could be slow but I am just trying to figure out how people have decided this is true

 

It's obviously because McCullers, Warzycha and Bliss are all incompetent schmucks that know nothing about the game of soccer

 

Ask friends that live across the pond. That is what I did and they usually know what they are talking about.

 

Slow compared to EPL players? Pace is not exactly what I am looking for in a central defender. If he were fast and had great feet he would be a forward. I care more about spacing and positioning than speed.

Would that be your Romanian buddies Razvan, Ovidiu and Gheorghe then? Because I'd be interested in that. Anyone else, honestly not so much. It's been too long since he played in Germany for that to matter and his time at Man City ought to be seen as a wash IMO. Of course they wouldn't be giving glowing recommendations about him.

 

Don't trouble NCSU by asking for facts. He doesn't respond well to that.

 

Exactly, not every player in EPL is star quality. Hell if Crew were to pursue Carlton Cole, I would have nightmares.

 

Aren't you trolling? Interesting.

 

I would just note for the record that you haven't come up with a single fact that refutes anything I said.

 

Totally agree. I feel like in the matter of 2 days this guy has been labeled "slow" and I haven't seen any sort decent source saying that is the case. Again, he very well could be I just want something that might say he is.

 

Dumb question: should I list him as "Glauber Berti" or just "Glauber" on the roster thread?

 

Scouting Romania is a very good site, though. A few months ago I went looking for info on Hamza Younes and came across it. When you get a free hour, look through it, it's impressive.

 

I put his name in the search bar and got nothing. Guess I could look harder

 

Late bloomer Tunisian striker, plays with one of the lesser Romanian teams. He'd be a good bargain DP. He was linked with Hannover I think when Abdellaoui was rumored to be moving on after his amazing goal against Man Utd. Looks like Younes is still in Romania though. At the time I was hoping Wolves would look at him and I thought I mentioned him on here too, but I looked and I guess not. Anyway, there's definitely a writeup on there about him. You can find his videos on YouTube too.

 

I was talking about Glauber. I didn't find him

 

Oh well that's probably because of the diacritic. Same with Hamza.

 

Why would they have any loyalty to Sigi? They never played for him. They are loyal to the Crew. They would tell the Crew things they would not say to anyone else.[/quote]

I'd guess they're more loyal to IU. Yeagley literally has a lifetime of history there. Plus, having a first round draft choice from your program, regardless of which team they go to, has got to be good for recruiting.

 

I would do Glauber Berti just to be consistent.

 

You can list him as Susan, if you like.

 

Call him Mr. Unsubstantiated Cement Feet.

I think repping you on that may have dated me a bit. The younger ones will say, "huh?" Just know this... that may have been the last entertaining thing that Chevy Chase ever did in his life.
