    sorry if my english isnt 100%

    I laugh at what you write scotty. Because you try to personaly attack me for a reason that does not make sense. You assuming something, and the accual truth are two different things. I hope the best for any American player that plays in europe im sure you can tell since I always keep an eye out and update people on Vincenzo. Its only because he plays for my favorite team. and I know how hard it is to enter the youth system there and do as well as he is doing. What I said earlier was to point out...How good could this kid be if a team like villareal literally let him go at the age of 18. Its not to defende Vincenzo in any way. Ive never compared to two ever. I dont really know this Manzoelli player, but my assumption is he cant be that good....again i am not going to compare him to anyother players. I apologize if you took my assumption the wrong way. I didnt want to attack anyone especially any american players. But im sure him leaving villareal was not his personal choice. If it was, then I totally take back everything, but untill i know that it was his choice I assume that they let him go.

    Ya know, it's kinda hard to take your denials about being an agent seriously, or your claims that you're some random fan in Italy who happens to "have heard things" about Bernardo or that you just happened to be talking to bernardo or someone at his club all that seriously, as when YOU'VE ALREADY ADMITTED - on BigSoccer to being both an agent AND a journalist.

    https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=506222

    Dude, you WROTE that. You claimed to be an agent and now when folks accuse of being an agent, you deny it. Why?

    Just stop. Just come out and say you're his agent. It's cool. He's your client and you want what's best for him. That's admirable. But don't pretend you don't have an agenda when you do. It insults us and belittles your posts.

    Just come clean or shut the f*ck up.

    relax man. I am a journalist in a small newspaper in napoli that doesnt even carry results of Napoli's games. I am also a Very Small part time agent for 3 players that play in thrid division teams. I am not at the level to be Bernardo's agent, i wouldnt mind being his agent but unfortunately im not at that level. dont get upset over a soccer chatroom. I dont need to brag for Bernardo, i guess its just me being proud of knowing a very good soccer player and wanting people to know him better since I live in the area he plays. but its ok, I apologize for anything I said wrong.

    It really couldn't be more clear. And anyone who knows your posts can easily see through you by now.

    When a U.S. U-18 team played well in a youth tournament in Italy last summer and beat several Italian club teams (Bernardo's Napoli among them) you chose to make up excuses rather than give credit to the American kids.

    When the U.S. squad for the U-17 World Cup was announced you took a dig at Cruz and Schuler -- two forwards who were included when Bernardo wasn't.

    And in this thread you just did it again with Manzonelli.

    I wish Bernardo nothing but success at Napoli. But unlike you I won't be taking pleasure in the failure of other American kids at the same time.

    He might as well come back home and play in MLS. No way the Belgian Waffle House is better than MLS

    Any league is better than the MLS in terms of player development.

    Hell, I would rather have a kid play in the Ukranian third division than play in the MLS.

    Its all a different story when the players are mature of course, but up until that point, MLS sucks.

    Thats a pretty low blow to the MLS there bro'. Its not that bad.


    But look at Onwenyu(sp.), he plays in one of the best teams in belgium, if he plays well enough he can make it to Anderlecht, who gets chances to play in the Champ. League cause of them constantly winning the belgian league. They pay better than the MLS.

    Ivan Yaremtchuk played in Ukrainian third division, moved to Dinamo Kiev just before 1986 WC, became one of the best players on the very strong USSR team, got injured and moved back to the third division very soon after the WC, never played at the top level again. Or something like that. But usually talented kids don't play the third division, they grow in the big clubs youth programs
    So, what did I win?

    The question you should be asking is how many Ukranians started out in the 3rd division, made it up to the first division, and then on to bigger and better.

    Wasn't he later the strike partner of Haywood Jablomie? Mike Hunt was on that Scunthorpe team, too.

    There is a sports writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel who also worked with WTMJ4 (NBC affiliate) named Mike Hunt. I snickered every time they said "Mike Hunt, Sports".

    I had a college professor named Michael Hunt. He was kinda a douche.
    Since you had to go back to 1986 to find someone, you win a Billy Ocean CD.
