    On a slide rule, defense splitting pass.

    I looked at the box score and saw that former Houston Dynamo winger Andrew Driver started for De Graafschap.

    That's all I've got.

    To be fair, GZ got an assist on his Rangers debut as well.

    I don't recall goals in the games immediately after, but he started out fairly strong. An injury coupled with Gers going on a nice win streak while he recovered cost him his slot as much as anything, I think.

    But I think Emo will contribute more in his few months than GZ was able to in his full season.

    Here, I went and found it for you all.

    To?

    I'd go with Snakemeat McGillicuddy and the Bogata Strugglers.

    But that's probably just me.

    Really? No accounting for taste, I guess.

    Wrong tense; the conquering has not yet happened. We can only hope at this point.

    No one will ever spell McGillicuddy right. Especially not me.
     
  12. Last evening watched the Bologna-Napoli game with former Dutch Jupiler player Dries Merten for Napoli. And he had again a cracking game and now is on top of the topscorer list of Serie A. Not bad for a player formed in that minnow league. If Gedion matches Dries in development from that league I wonder how much there would be to complain.
    There is something funny going on. The Jupiler has a player, Tom Boere, that scores like crazy (24 up till now) and yet not one of the upper 7 teams shows any interest in him.
    The same was the matter with Vincent Janssen, when finally AZ bought him for a mere 400,000 €.
    So Gedion has no excuses about the league he's in to make it. It is up to him.
    The poster who said many 20 year olds didnot make it from that league has no point at all. It is silly to expect all 20 year olds to be star material, they arenot. The ones however who had it, made it despite (or maybe thanks to) the lower league they were in. So if Gedion has it, he has no excuse given the row of highly succesfull predecessors. If he doesnot make it from here, it is his own fault. Period.

    Ok, then this:

    Veniam vincam videbitis me

    Doesn't have quite the ring to it, though...

    EDIT: Thanks, google translate, for making me look smart. If it's wrong, google translate can go to hell.

  14. This evening 20:00 CEST away match against Young PSV. The coach expects a tough game because on a monday evening the Young teams can field the best first team reserves. There is a score to settle as YPSV beat VVV in Venlo in the first half of the season.
    Probably on youtube.

    For some masochistic reason I watched almost the entire match the other day even though Gedion never came on -- it was ********ing horrible! Honestly, if he can't get on the field for these guys I have to question his future. Obviously it's still early days but my goodness, even the Scottish Championship had bits of good play mixed in with all the crap.

  24. Maybe, but remind me .... how many superstars like van Nistelrooij, Gullit etc. came from that league?
