Yanks Abroad Flavors of the Week: 2022-2023 Thread

I think it is a huge mistake for players to have a family member represent them for a number of reasons

But it is really inexplicable to use another player's family member to do so.

 

Most of the analysis I've seen is that Leeds will move to a 433, with Aaronson being part of the winger rotation. He's played some at the 10 and some at wing, so he's losing some but not all playing time, I think.

 

Balogun got a Hattie today. I think it’s time to release the SEC cheerleaders and bbq to recruit him
He’s having a phenomenal loan and this is getting serious

14 goals on all competitions

 

He was supposed to wait until after he switched to show how good he was. Can't he follow the script?

The Thomas Roberts tour continues. Let's hope he latches on somewhere.

1620866934022770688 is not a valid tweet id

 

If Westerlo doesn't sign him, I bet Slytherin would have him as their seeker.

 

Gotta think England will go full court press on him.

 

Not news, not analysis (shoot me!)

It sure will be interesting to how Aaronson and McKennie both fit in Leeds.

 

7 goals and 5 assists now on the season about halfway through (maybe a touch more) on pace for about double digit goals and assists. Not bad breakthrough season.

 

It's neat to see Balogun blow up. But after Harry Kane, striker is a question mark for England. Every time he does something, the chances of him playing for us go down.

 

A hat trick and a tying goal against PSG. Quite a week.

 

Are we sure he's 21? He looks like an 8 year old in that picture.

 

I'm watching 29 talk about connecting with Flo Balogun in Miami this summer through a mutual friend who is a rapper. What is going on?

 

If they go to a 4-3-3 then Aaronson can go to the wing where I think he's better anyway. Lots of games and chances for varying formations too.

 

Likely Aaronson becomes more of a utility player shuttling between midfield and a wide attacking role.

 

they got harry Kane for one more good cycle I’d say. Then it’s rashford and……..?

 

Danny Williams spoke at a conference in NYC a few months back on young players should go the the buLi:

I think Germany is one of the best places to develop as a young player because most of the clubs don't have big owners and there isn't as much money around like at Chelsea, Arsenal, or Tottenham," Williams told 90min.

"That's fine because they still go on and play for those clubs if they succeed in Germany. The tactical and technical education is very good in Germany. I was fortunate enough to go through my youth in these academies and what you learn there is amazing. What I really like about Bundesliga is these young guys are given a chance and they're trusted by the coach to make the step into the first team, have game time, and not come and be replaced by a superstar if you don't perform in one or two games, like at Man Utd. They're a bit more patient with you."

Yeah, I was about to post something in response to a @gogorath post about Adams being bad at passing but realized that it was a hopeless case. What's the use, right? But your post just did what 100 posts from me would never succeed in. Good find. Musah and McKennie are down in bottom quintile for this stat.

 

I’m honestly surprised Moose wasn’t bought this window. Smart of València to let him marinade a bit more and drive up his price. If they sold him for the rumored 20 mil they were allowing him to leave for that round heve been criminal negligence. Sell him for 50-65 in the summer and throw it all at club debt

 

Valencia has been dragged into the relegation fight.
Its all hands on deck again........................

I do expect Musah will be sold this summer.

[Currently being absolutely dominated by Real Madrid, but somehow its still 0-0. Musah did start.]

 

Yup that’s true they’re absolutely in the suck this year

 

Two things:

1.) good lord 4 French players on that list!?!?!?! They have so much talent....

&

2.) Who exactly have Celtic played in the last month?

 

If the World Cup were only a contest of who has the mostest bestest players, France would play France B in the finals every time now. No one's close, not even Brazil.
