USMNT Transfer Watch - Movers and Shakers

Not, if Milan exercise their 1 year extension.

 

I like that move. All young US boys need to go to here to be pounced. Either you being broken as two forwards big boys, or like Medford Messi who became tougher.

Ohhh bless.........the Scots were drunk during our game still.

 

A goalkeepers fate isn’t written in stone at 27 but he has a lot of room for improvement..

 

Its the SPL; not Real Madrid.

They could use another goalkeeper.
Right now they have Finnish international Viljami Sinisalo and Scottish veteran Ross Doohan.

Whether Freese is the right fit or not..........who knows?????

Heck, they should kick the tires on Chris Brady as he has a Scottish passport.

Celtic see second bid rejected as European club demand up to £6.7million

They seem to be trying to get this keeper from Las Palmas, but have had multiple bids rejected. Maybe they're going to plans B and C.

I have a buddy that's a Celtic fan and he said that online the fans are very concerned about how inactive Celtic have been in the transfer window. Need to get a move on.....................

The rest of the SPL sucks so hard that Celtic can suffer from complacency.

 

Jedi Man U chatter in the Guardian

He’d definitely play there if healthy. And Luke Shaw can rarely make it through a season anyways.

 

I mean I outside of Celtic and Rangers the quality of MLS is higher than the SPL.

 

Yeah I think we are unequivocally at that point too. And it is absolute certain that our top two teams are better than theirs. Celtic and Rangers would be remarkably mid in MLS imo.

That said, Freese.........wellllll, he aint all that. And we know exactly what highlight is going to be shown to "familiarize" the fans if it actually happens. Red teaming it, why not just look at your academy or maybe some lower league keeper to sign that has some upside?

 

I think he’d be fine there. And obviously he made a huge mistake in the biggest game of his life but that’s not everything he is as a keeper. He’s not the first goalie to make such a mistake. It happens. No need to write him off but obviously starting job is an open competition for whoever grabs it.

 

Most Scots weren't even watching by that stage anyway.

 

They were too busy rooting for Mexico, Norway, and Argentina.

 

I was gonna say.........nobody hate watches like the Scots hate watch England.

 

The Irish hate watch England with a similar ferocity. Probably a close second.

 

Valid and fair

 

Oh! I'm waiting for the posters that (in years past, anyway) have always loved to pile on MLS for having club option years. StOp HoLdInG PuLi HoStAgE!! rolleyes

Reyna and Scally collect between 1.5 and two million euros annually. Manager Rouven Schröder (photo) wants to reduce this salary burden in order to create financial leeway for the conversion of the team.

I think they may need to reduce their salary if they actually want to move. Do teams outside of North America take on salary often? That's another option.

 

Rangers might be a good home for Gio. He's a legacy, sort of. His dad played for another club that also played at Ibrox with the same name.

 

He’ll never take that next step unless he leaves the Serie A!

 

....................and I'm not sure about Rangers and Hearts.

I saw some stat about Cameron Carter Vickers' record in games he's started in the SPL, and its ridiculous. I wish I could remember that stat.

Celtic these days enters Europe and most years exits in pathetic fashion.

This year they were knocked out of Champions League qualifying by Kairat of Kazakhstan.

 

I wouldn't bet on him. He wasn't starting the last few games before the WC and now FCd has acquired another young keeper from SJE.

 

Celtic are complaining they keep getting outbid for players by EFL Championship teams, even though they are in a much better financial position.

 

Not often any of our guys are the highest earners at clubs abroad.

 

Im not taking anything away from Freese's mistake but something forgotten with it is that thr mistake happened because Freese's leg got stuck in the the ground when he went to kick the ball. Not an excuse as he panicked after, but I dont think it was all "what the hell was he doing?" As people want to make it

 

I think the what the hell part is that he stuck his own leg in the ground trying to kick the ball.
