jw1739 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I'm calling "bullshit" on this so-called signing. (That ought to produce something one way or the other.) Edited January 31, 2022 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not so long ago that we were all pleased that the bulk of the squad had been retained. It just goes to show that if you take away a couple of members of a successful team you can easily end up with mediocrity - the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

Tommykins Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) To be announced later today apparently. Number 10, most recently playing his football outside of Japan. Edited February 1, 2022 by Tommykins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Underwhelming, but he might surprise us all. Where does he fit in I wonder? We've already got Pucci sitting on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Played in a treble winning MLS season, so he must have some form of quality. I can see him being an ACL signing who will play limited league minutes, alot like Tsubaki last season. He will be cheap and we probably don't have much cap room. At least we are using the 3+1 ACL rules, we would sook if we didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begrudgingly I have to live with the fact that the club makes no statement regarding the criteria for acquiring players. And so we are left to read the tea leaves as to why we sign players. Then it gets worse when they don't get a look in. And this is particularly true of visa players. And to add salt to the wound, PK is inconsistent in his mutterings. So if I find that frustrating, I wonder what is like for the players who have to work under him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
