Earning his stripes: Timothy Weah at Juventus

I saw an alert that he posted and I knew exactly what was coming.

 

FYP

(with a spot of shameless trolling )

 

It's not being negative, it's being realistic. Can't take much away from this goal, it's harder to score against USL teams.

 

Thank you for your bravery of saying what HAD to be said. Everyone here is much smarter for it.

 

Nobody is taking much away from the goal. We are merely celebrating the goal. Like, you know, normal soccer fans.

 

You absolutely must not take away any analysis or emotion from this goal. Cease immediately.

 

I think Weah has enough in his locker to stop the trend of Americans failing in Scotland. Scottish fans are a bit suspicious about American players because of the amount that has failed here. Zelalem, Bedoya, Kitchen, Johnsen, Beasley, Cervi etc were absolute busts. The Celtic fans will be hoping Weah performs like Boca or Reyna, not like the previous players mentioned.

 

Considering Celtic only breached the defence three times, I would suggest you're being a tad overdramatic. It can't be that easy.

 

A different view of Weah's run - what a fantastic ball by the center back!

Also, I enjoy "Boom, Boom, Boom let me hear you say Weah....".

 

Where there's a will, there's a Weah

 

Talk about passive-aggressive.

 

That song has got to be blared from the rafters if he scores for the US in a qualifier at home. Place would be rocking.

 

Boca spent 1year at Rangers. Im surprised he got soo much acclaim.

 

Edu was good for them.

Bedoya was decent. So was Beasley. I disagree that they were failures.

 

Was that meant for somebody else? In what way is it passive aggressive?!?

 

That's what a good cf does.

I never understood why Sarachan refused to play him at cf. He's good at leading the line as you saw on that goal. He can press the keeper too.

 

BMJ wasn't a failure at Hearts, and Hyndman was well-liked at Rangers.

Basically a completely misleading post.

 

Bedoya was only there for a season and played the equivalent of five matches minutes wise. Beasley made about 20 starts in three years.

 

Beasley was often injured wasn’t he?

 

Johnsen scored six goals in 35 appearances in Scotland. Do some research before you say somebody is being "misleading." Nothing I said was misleading in the slightest. Hyndman gets pass marks at Rangers, as do Reyna and Boca.

He said his goal at Celtic is to score goals and create unbreakable friendships

 

Weah has a nice debut and you come in here and totally unnecessarily dump on a bunch of previous Americans to play in Scotland.

 

Why are you taking it so personally? You're acting like I've done something horrendous. I was just pointing out that fans in Scotland are a bit weary of American players because most of them have not been successful in Scotland. I explicitly said I think Weah will buck that trend. He looks good. Polster has potential as well, although people said that about Zelalem, kitchen etc. That's the point I was making. Calm down, jeez.

 

Ahh, you always know a player is doing well when the thread turns to nonsense.
