Gordon Bennett 768 Posted January 27, 2021 An eight part podcast which I’m most of the way through, a very interesting listen. We all had him on Championship Manager back in the noughties, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted January 28, 2021 I had him once, yes. I think the theory that he may have been a few years older than he officially was may carry some weight, but I'm not sure if even that explains why he struggled at progressively lower levels as his career went on.

Gordon Bennett 768 Posted January 28, 2021 From what I’ve heard in the podcast it seems he was developed as incorrectly as you could imagine in his early years, he basically had the weight of the whole MLS as a product in his shoulders and was earning far too much money at such a young age meaning he was more interested in the bling than anything else. It makes you realise how important those years between 16 ish and 20 ish are for young players and appreciate how well we are doing it now as a club with the payers we’ve had come through in recent seasons.
