    Spector played in CL qualifiers when he was 18 years 5 months. He played in the group stage at 18 years 9 months.

    At this point, it's enough to win the three home games we have left. 9 points is all we need to be 100% sure to finally be league winners for the first time. :)

    Two young Americans facing off against each other, there better be a stream for this.

    Disappointed to read that he's being groomed more as a RB at the moment. Was excited earlier in the season when he was getting acclaim as an attacking winger.

    Him at RB and Chandler at right mid would be an extremely fast side..

    I would not read too much into this. As a matter of fact, I think this move only makes him more valuable as a winger. He is seeing the other side of the game, fine tuning his defensive skills, passing skills, the importance of being a two way player, etc. If you have speed, have the attacking mentality, that does not go away. Either you have it or you don't. He does. And, based on the results, when he has been at RB, the team has not lost. So if you were a coach going for your first championship in 100 years, you would put your best team on the field and if that means Gatt at RB, then he plays RB.

    Gatt is simply the best choice on RB at the moment. The regular right back has been terrible lately, and Josh has done really well. That's the reason Ole Gunnar plays him in that position. For next season I'm guessing he will be playing more RW.
    I know that OGS are looking for a new player on RB.

    That would be an EXTREMELY fast side, but I think Chandler is a much better RB and Gatt will be a much better RW or RM

    I am not disagreeing but how many times have you seen Gatt play RB?

    I've seen him a few times, he isn't as good defensively as Chandler. Gatt is rather green overall, but his attacking skills a pretty good. He is a natural RW. He may be able to develop better defensive skills with experience.

    Yeah, Gatt is just somehow better than Molde's natural RB. He has not a real prospect at RB imo.

    At RW Gatt was playing very well I felt.

    OGS is doing what he should do with Gatt. He has a legitimate opportunity to teach the kid the defensive skills he needs to become a top quality right winger. Gatt apparently plays RB well enough to hold his own in the league without his team losing their overall good form. OGS will continue to use him as a RB when he can get away with it for the remainder of the season (not much longer I don't think). And, come next season, Gatt will be the primary RW for Molde. Bet that he doesn't stick around any longer than that though.

    Richard Hartis (Molde coach) said it was nothing serious. Just to be sure it didn't get worse. He should be ready for the next game.

    That's pretty serious and basically rules him out of the Nov camp. Damn.

    It's too bad Gatt is injured. After today's match Ole Gunnar Solskjaer managed Molde FK to their first ever title.

    Hey, didn't Gatt say Molde would get 1st place? Cool guy. :cool:

    Hope he gets better soon.

    Next season is going to be real important for him . Especially with the EL/CL exposure he will get.

    He sure did. Here is an interview during his preseason:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmoWrwQXlVw&feature=related"]Joshua Gatt Interview - YouTube[/ame]

    This was great for him. Up until he was injured, he was a regular starter on a championship team. Welcome to the Champions League! Next year could be huge for this kid. Great story!!!
