Cup games, UCL Youth games, mop up minutes, already clinched games, there are a lot of games where PSG doesn't need its best 11. Weah is still very young, 1000' in those types of situations would be a great season. Maybe use that for a very good loan next year. I think TT is using the youth players to rest the WC players and light a fire under some veterans. PSG is a sweet place to get paid and have fun; but when crunch time comes in the UCL, they never step up. They have a lot of money but FFP keeps them from really having the squad to have competition at all positions. Weah has already exceeded expectations and it is only August. 13 months ago when he said his goal was to play first team soccer, everyone laughed.
It's worth pointing out that PSG doesn't really do developmental loans. They sent out two young players on loan last summer, Edouard and Guedes. Edouard was purchased by Celtic, and Guedes is about to be purchased by Valencia. In January, they sent out their 4th or 5th GK and a RB buried in their reserves. If they see Weah as part of their future, they'll keep him in and around the first team. If they see sale potential, they'll loan him to a club with an option to buy. The chances of him making a loan move to a place like Lyon or Marseille and then returning to PSG are low.
Not Tuchel, last year at this time there was a lot of speculation he'd go to Barca, that he was out of favor in Paris and not happy that they brought in Mbappe, but Barca didn't want to pay the fee demanded. Maybe he's back in their good graces but he's 30 and there have been persistent rumors of an exit, like this from May https://bleacherreport.com/articles...summer-transfer-amid-exit-rumours?share=other
I see his point: it's tougher to look good as a striker in a bottom-half of the table team, than in one heads and shoulders above everybody else. As a striker, you depend a lot on what the men behind you do on the field. No service reduces greatly your chances to produce.
We hope that one gets to play with Bremen. The other actually plays at PSG. That being said, I hope Sargent tears up B1!
This guy could cut back on the franks and burgers but then we wouldn't have big Al Delia https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mo...hit-dingers’-intro/ar-BBLSR1S?ocid=spartanntp
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...oung-stars-watch-European-leagues-season.html Nice little write up from the dailymail. Tim is one of 10 young players to watch this season along with Jonathan Klinsman
Wow, those two Italian "youngsters" look closer to thirty than teenagers. Must've been shaving at 10.
It's a funny thing that we have Klinsmann Jr. and Weah Jr. on our national team. Usually when you hear about famous players having kids here (ex. Ronaldo lately), it's dismissed as a joke, but here we have two sons of some of the greatest players of all time (and the Ballon d'or winner and runner up from 1995!). Maybe we should be thanking MLS for pulling old legends to the US.
Neither has Ronaldo. MLS bringing world class players over at 35 is going to increase the number of world class babies. That's all.
Thanks God we don't have Klinsman Jr. on our NT. And I I'm not sure how exactly MLS pulled Weah that it forced him to make Anerican kid.
Excluding all thoughts of his father, JK, jr appears to be a work in progress, with a lot of progress yet to come. Timmy W is a totally difference story.
