I'm not a troll. What have I said that isn't factual? And what is your fascination with Maurice Edu's appearances at Rangers? Go look back at your own posts. You literally make things up. Trust me, I know vastly more about how well/badly Americans played in Scotland. Check the number of people on here that thought Bedoya did well at Rangers! Total Flop. I saw a post of yours which said something along the lines of " It took a bit of time for Bedoya and Beasley to cement their place at Rangers." I don't know if you're lying or just ignorant to the facts, but they never cemented their place, look at the stats, Bedoya barely played, and Beasley had something pitiful like 20 starts in three years, they properly flopped. Numerous Americans have failed in Scotland. Very few get pass marks. The excuses you lot trot out are absolutely comical though! In this thread even, a guy saying that because Johnsen got six assists in one season he wasn't an absolute flop! Look at how wrong you all were in each thread. "Johnsen will tear that league apart." Oops! You over hype your own players so much, then trot out ludicrous excuses when they inevitably fail.
You are a troll. And you were factually incorrect regarding Edu. And you are factually incorrect regarding my view of Johnsen. And you are factually incorrect regarding Run DMB's Gers starts (using, of course, your own ILS - International Lafferty Standard.) But you seem to enjoy trolling so I'm sure you'll carry on with your wee rants and rages.
Wow, a small penis joke. I'm so offended. You are still banging on about Edu and his appearances? Beasley failed. Zelalem failed. Johnsen failed. Bedoya failed. Kitchen failed. Cervi failed. A lot of them can cut it in The MLS but clearly The Scottish League is too much of a step up, Hyndman bang average at Hibs. Edu bang average. The final thing I'll say about Americans in Scotland, is must try harder. For the amount of yanks that have played here, the success rate has been absolutely shocking. Anybody that isn't wearing their Star spangled banner spectacles would say that. Claudio Reyna is by far the standout, and he was kicking about nearly 20 years ago!
Oh you're right, 30 starts in 3 seasons. That changes the complexion of it completely. He averaged ten starts a year! Wow, he was a rip roaring success! Much like how I purposefully left out Johnsen's cup stats. Because that MASSIVE EXTRA ONE GOAL HE SCORED WOULD MAKE MY POINT MOOT. Delusional.
Again. You were wrong about Edu. It's not that hard to simply say you were. The funny thing is, I'm the one most often defending the SPL around here, but you have some weird inferiority complex that has you barking at every car that passes. You're an odd fellow.
I have no idea what you're on about here, but you're sounding more like a Trump tweet than a soccer post. Do you drink too much, perhaps? Regardless, it's good Weah got on the board already. Even against lower division teams, just getting a ball in the net and feeling like part of the team can be a big step for a young player.
Triggered! I don't drink. I'm teetotal, thanks. Yes, I'll "admit" I thought Edu had one season where he got more than 30 appearances, he has had two. Big deal. The point is every guy I've said are flops, were flops in Scotland. Regardless of whether or not Beasley, had 20 or 30 starts in three years, or whether Johnsen scored six or seven goals. They flopped. Beasley flopped in both Scotland and England.
I'm glad Weah is being used as a striker - never thought his best position was winger (where the USSF genuises had him)
Very few modern formations employ a wide forward. It's usually a winger that moves into a more attacking position when the team is dominating. Dedicated wide forwards are almost a thing of the past, the modern 4-3-3 uses either the wingers mentioned above, or two AMs, or a mobile CAM plus a SS.
I watched the complete time Timo (yep, that's what they call him) was on yesterday, and he was definitely not the CF/ST. Good ol' Oliver Burke of West Ham (?) had that opportunity and bottled quite a few. Tim played LW, either with license to come inside at will or a pissed of Brodge. Most likely the former, as frankly, Weah's movement was a lot like SAS back in Brodge's LFC days. Even though they were referred to as a strike partnership, IIRC one of them almost always started out wide. In the few times they played a diamond, one always drifted wide while out of possession so they could make that similar run that Vardy makes all the time and Gerrard could take out the whole defense with one ball. All of that to say, it looks like Weah will get plenty of scoring chances from central positions regardless of where he starts.

A self-awareness failure on your part, I'm afraid. You don't have too many friends on here. None at all in fact.
Good. So now we're at least at the point where we can agree that Edu, who was selected for some of Gers most important CL games during his time there, had 125 appearances - despite doing his cruciate while at Gers (more than Gazza, Gio and other "successful" Gers players) simply was not a flop in Scotland. That claim is just silly. He even transferred from SPL to EPL (where, indeed, he was a "flop.") I'm not sure why you're on about Johnsen as if anything I underrated him when he was at Gers, as his ADO season was better than I expected. But this is a Weah/Celtic thread. Your need to run from thread to thread trolling is odd.
