No delight here: Tyler Boyd loaned to Sivasspor from Besiktas

Yeah, thanks to you, so you're both to credit and to blame then. You shouldn't have done such a good job hyping him if you didn't want people to buy into it.

 

Of 2018? Cause his YA thread has been going strong since he started scoring in Portugal for Tondela.

When Duane Holmes comes back, are we going to get schtick that we only knew who he was from the Gold Cup camp, despite the 35-page chronicle of his career from Huddersfield to Yeovil Town and Scunthorpe to Derby?

 

warm up the tshirt printer, weve got an order for a bunch of "i was into holmes when he had dreads" in extra smedium...

 

lol “going strong” this thread had 3 posts covering the entire 2017/2018 season when he was playing for Tondela and 0 posts after December. Talk about going strong.

By May 2018 this thread had been open 4 years, had 20 posts, 10 of which were from Testudo, and hadn’t cracked page 2. Spare us the, “been following Boyd for forever schtick”

 

BigSoccer posters do not equal a noticeable percentage of USMNT fans

Almost all USMNT fans had no idea who Boyd was before his switch was announced in May

 

You mean????....

 

I refuse to fall off the wagon simply because there's a band on it!

 

This is BigSoccer. Getting their panties in a bunch about some player who isn't playing every minute of every game is what some people join this site for. Sadly.

 

USMNT Only‏ @usmntonly
Tyler Boyd & Besiktas have reportedly "reached an agreement on every subject." Boyd is expected to come to Istanbul after the Gold Cup to sign a 3-year-contract.

Honestly refuse to believe anything until I see a tweet from the official Beskitas twitter account... I'm learning that the Turks and the internet are an odd combination.

 

Even that may not do it. Probs safest to wait till he's a few games into the season...

 

And has a few checks deposited.

 

Only if they clear. Only if they clear . . .

 

63 uninspiring minutes v. Curacao tonight. He turned the ball over a ton (14 times, I think). It was one of those performances that the English would speculate is the result of "having his head turned" by a potential transfer.

 

Only if you have safely wired them to Switzerland and the wire has landed.

 

Or perhaps the "shiny new cap" energy wearing off... (or, Curacao is not really a team that represents the footballing prowess of a tiny Carib island, but instead a Dutch C team that can play a little footie.)

 

Wasnot Room in the goal when Miazga played at Vitesse? For sure people must have noticed he knows how to keep the ball out of the net.

 

I will admit I did not look that closely at Curacao and was surprised how many names I knew. It's a good little team.

 

Just wait until Surinam noticed the Curacao way to copy. Brasil is already shitting their pants
Just imagine The Orange squad+Curacao+Surinam qualify for a World Cup.
It would be hilarious to see three teams with players from one country in the WC

 

That's not Britain you mean...

 

I was looking through Transfermarkt the other day to see if Leon Bailey was the highest-valued Concacaf player who isn't Mexican or American, and I kept getting tripped up by all the Dutch players of Surinamese descent. Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Bergwijn, Promes, and Kluivert are all (or were) eligible to play for them. That team would be a Concacaf powerhouse.

 

The Jamaica teams of the recent past have been very British heavy.

 

Do you have any idea about the players available to Surinam that are in the Uxx Orange teams and are family members of those on the list you assembled.
For instance the nephew of Bogarde, which a German team nicked from the Feyenoord academy, is considered a huge defensive talent. Kluivert, son of ...etc.
