It won't make any difference, Tuchel has an awful lot of games to negotiate, he is always rotating the team, Pulisic will get plenty of game time as long as he stays healthy.
Well, I normally do a ranking by making an ordered list of the things being compared. His own coach didn't start him on the wing today, and that's picking out of relatively tiny pool of wingers that doesn't include options like Neymar, Mbappe, Salah, Mane, Sane, Rashford etc. that would be on most people's list if you opened it up to "best wingers in the world".
I agree that playing is a risk for your club career, but it’s a risk that you have to take if you’re a fringe guy and you really want to play, which is what LDLT is. you say that berhalter has his mind made up, but Robinson and Zimmerman broke into the first 11 by getting their feet in the door at the gold cup. Berhalter could’ve stuck with McKenzie and Brooks since they won nations league, and if he was as inflexible as you say, that’s what he would’ve done.
I remember when you came around here just to tell everyone how terrible Jozy Altidore was. Weren't you previously a Sunderland fan? Or did you just come around here for shits and giggles as a Chelsea fan? And why are you posting now in "Yanks Abroad"?
Aaronson interest? AC Milan scouts were watching Brenden Aaronson today against Lille. https://t.co/q6BKTDxxDE— USMNT Universe (@UsmntU) November 23, 2021
NOT *CLAP* EVERYONE *CLAP* NEEDS *CLAP* TO *CLAP* BE *CLAP* MARADONA *CLAP* TO *CLAP* BE *CLAP* EXCITED *CLAP* ABOUT *CLAP* THEM Christ almighty, in your world, is there a football player worth a crap besides Ronaldo, Messi, or Mbappe? Heaven forbid we allowed to be excited about "second rate" players like Saleh, Pulisic, Alphonso Davies, Son, or Bruno Fernendez. Have you seen the sort of players clubs like Leeds, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, and West Ham fans get excited over?? Ill give you a hint, its a few classes below Christian Pulisic. Not everyone can be Chelsea, Manchester City, or Liverpool, and thank God for that.
Looks like Julian Green just signed a new contract. ⚽ Heidenheim 2018, ⚽ Aue 2019, ⚽ Düsseldorf 2021...🖊 Fürth 2024 🤍💚 #whiteandGREEN @J_Green37 hat heute für die nächste Entscheidung beim #Kleeblatt gesorgt 🤝https://t.co/qjY8ej3AU9— SPVGG GREUTHER FÜRTH (@kleeblattfuerth) November 24, 2021
.......dont get that. Seemed like the perfect time for Julian Green to look at a different opportunity. Furth is obviously a dead end.
Green is a good to very good B2 player. Why leave? Where would actual interest come from? Ijust posted this in another thread. I have watched every minute of him this year. Yeah, it’s a real bad team, and Julian is an in over his head B2 player on that bad team. He has been so ineffective he had been benched before lasts weeks invisible first half and subsequent yank. Gives me no pleasure to say it but he doesn’t belong on our Nat team. If Busio, Reyna and DLT r available there is no way. W regard to club situation, what has he done that would make any decent team interested. Seriously? Average to above average B2 player doesn’t scream interest. He is somewhere where he will play and where they know what he brings. He will be a solid B2 cog again next year. The surprise promotion won’t happen again. Nothing wrong w that. He is what he is.
Not MLS starter level, where else? Hopefully his admirers (who haven't even seen him playing in the last 3 years) will shot up finally. I'm kidding, we will be hearing about him being snubbed till 2026.
Folks can be as optimistic as they want. They can use him to disparage the Nat team coach just because, they can say he has to be better than any MLS player brought in, they can live in a nostalgic past, but if u have watched him play over these last two years, even at his best in B2, he just isn’t a high level player. No shame in that, he has carved out a nice career, but if he is the guy u r sticking your neck out for then the problems r with yourself. Even in B2 last year he could never force the game, the best matches and moments are when they came to him. At 26/27? it ain’t changing.
I was personally thinking a BL2 level team, which I don’t consider Furth to be. I have to constantly rub my eyes at the names of teams in the league below; Bremen, schalke, Hamburg, Nuremberg, Hannover, Dresden, it’s pretty wild. From a big ckub perspective I would have liked to have seen him at that sort of club
Those would be great moves. Maybe he would fit as a guy who could help them be promoted. Still, his B1 play back to his loan w Stuttgart 5 years ago, and now, may not be enticing enough for clubs like that. They want a player who can help promote while being able to contribute somewhat to B1. I would luv to see moves like those happen but it is probably safer and smarter to stick to a club that knows u and wants u. An MLS move wouldn’t be a guarantee either. Team and style would matter A LOT.
He is MLS starter level after watching 40+ MLS games this season. He may age out of that level soon but he is there now.
This gives me an idea. In the collective wisdom of Yanks Abroad Flavors of the Week posters, who's the USMNT-eligible player on an overseas club most likely to become an MLS Flavor of the Week during 2022?
Or we could have a collective wisdom from MLS jock sniffers. Pick an award. The overvalue MLS fans give to the level of play in their league is every bit as egregious and Euro snobs' eval of players there.
Great call -- he's out of contract at the end of this season. ETA: Staying with Fulham, so is Damian Las. Any other candidates? Let's keep this going.
Andrija Novakovich is also out of contract at the end of the 2022 season and has barely played for Frosinone this year.
Yeah, he would start, but where he went would decide how effective he is. A KC Vermes like environment good, a Nashville like environment, eh. Even a team like RB might not be the best fit w the uber pressing. He needs some time and circulation. He needs support where he won’t have to physically do to much. He has ability, but not so much where he will be a home run wherever he goes IMO.
Yup, Another one that fell off a cliff. I’m very thankful by the growth of our talent pool that we don’t have to endure, player X in 2nd division whatever has to be involved no matter what!!!!!!!! Sad and exhausting. Another player who has shown some skill, but not nearly enough. Let’s see what happens.
Not too long ago a few of us were keeping our fingers and toes crossed for Frosinone and Novakovich to go up via the Serie B playoffs. It was close. Very close.
Lynden Gooch's contract at Sunderland ends next summer, so does Terrence Boyd's at Hallescher FC Maybe Kenny Saief. NYCFC are making a habit of picking up Americans from Europe. Keaton Parks, Alfredo Morales, Gedion Zelalem and Chris Gloster all featured this season. Aron Johanssen (free agent) would be decent signing to fill out the roster.
