Michael Parkhurst at Nordsjaelland (Denmark) discussion thread [R]

Kind of a funny incident led to Copenhagen's first goal. No way it should've counted though, since the scorer was several yards beyond the arc by the time the PK was taken.

Also, Parkhurst went 90 again yesterday in a 1-1 draw.

 

At right back?

 

I believe he was at center back the past few games but returned to the right for 90 today in a 2-1 win. The goal they allowed was off a terrible gk error. (All of this is based only on reports.)

 

Parkhurst started today (listed at CB) but went off injured with the score 0-0.

 

Parkhurst will miss a month with a hamstring injury.

After a six week absence, Parkhurst made his return and went 90 in a 3-2 victory today over Silkeborg.

 

Parkhurst in the starting XI, playing in central midfield, and involved in the goal that brings Nordsjaelland level with Randers in the 50th min. Really showing some nice touch on the ball and effective distribution.

 

FCN could really use a win here to put distance between themselves and relegation.

Do all US players gravitate to central mid?

 

2-1 final. That's back-to-back wins since Parkhurst's return from injury.

With two games left, Nordjaelland is five points clear of the relegation zone and actually in the top half of the table. It's safe to say they're staying up.

 

We just make versatile players in our country! Hard work and Stoicism at it's finest, .

 

anyone watching Danish Cup today? what site are streaming from? I've only found Justintv that I can access

 

Parkhurst has had some unlucky breaks in Denmark - he's never quite been able to hold a starting spot due to form and/or nagging injuries and has been shifted around a lot.

But he deserves congrats for his 2nd straight cup title.

 

Does anybody have an educated guess what he is making this season?

Talks about the Cup run, the Europa League, and his future.

 

Parkhurst went 90 minutes at center back today and picked up a yellow card as FC Nordsjælland picked up their first points of the season in a 1-1 home draw with Horsens.

 

Parkhurst went the distance today as Nordsjælland fell to Copenhagen 2-0

 

Is top of Austrian Bundesliga usually a buyer from Denmark? Do they have more financial clout?

 

No, but Parkhurst will be available on a free come January.

 

Don't know if you can generalize leagues like that. There's a huge economic and on the field difference between FC Copenhagen and Nordsjaelland, just like Austrian top teams have different resources.

 

Interesting. And I'm guessing they're looking at him as a central defender rather than a right back?

 

Parkhurst went 90 at centerback as FCN beat Silkeborg 2-1 today.

 

(Austria?) wow, that would be a first, no?

And seemingly very odd. You'd think he could not
only do better (salary, league quality-wise) in Europe-
either another team in Denmark or elsewhere or
even coming back to US

 

There's been a few. Nate Jaqua and Preston Zimmerman off the top of my head. Not many, though.

 

Also, Gatt moved to Molde from there.
