possible defender

Recommended Posts

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 everton

here are some good videos on him and he looks quite good, although the video quality is quite bad.

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.

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

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.

Try telling Paul Lambert not to sign players from the lower leagues - most of our playing squad over the past two years have arrived here from unfashionable clubs!

Surprised you of all people do not have an opinion DT as you have never been backwards in coming forward with advice and pearls of wisdom on here including telling Lambert what he should do.[;)]
