J.Warman 0 Posted December 23, 2011 George John of FC Dallas, only 24, tall(6ft 3) strong, fast, very good passer, he is very vocal and commanding.could be what we need, even on loan during the mls close-season would be good, like landon donovan and evertonhere are some good videos on him and he looks quite good, although the video quality is quite bad.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYYuAqTdq_khttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U7zbYiJaus&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ8SbRGz2x8&feature=relatedwhat are your thoughts?

Mister Chops 7 Posted December 23, 2011 I think we could do with someone who has proven Premiership experience as it''s a big step up from MLS. On the other hand, I have a soft spot for players with reversible names (Charlie George, John Charles) so that''s one tick in the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted December 23, 2011 Interesting shout - I''ve never heard of him! He looks commanding in a low league - not easy to assess how he might do in the Prem though is it? I like how he gets up without complaint when elbowed to the floor. Seems to read and intercept pretty well - mind you from a ''selling the player'' point-of-view, remember this vid is showing us the best bits only! PS: Don''t they wear shinpads in training over there? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr015Bb7zME&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marvin the martian 0 Posted December 23, 2011 I''ve been to a couple of matches in the states and the quality isn''t great to be honest, lower championship at best. There are a few decent players knocking around but not worth the risk in our position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted December 23, 2011 Well the way you just described him, sounds like he should be playing for Barca by now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
