RE, American League. I said not "properly" competitive as in no relegation that's what I meant. Scouts and players underestimate the SPL has been shown over and over again with many players over the years no argument surely. There was particular poster that was bigging Cifu/ American League up and my post was, admittedly, cheekily aimed at him/ her but didn't get a bite lol. I've not written him off but he has done nothing as yet but the clock is ticking he's been here for months and not weeks. Whether the American League is better than the SPL is up for debate not sure don't watch any of it, i'm guessing the top 6 teams in the SPL on form would beat most, what do we think.

Wanting a bite from me aye Tjbb56,mls is levels up from the league we play in for fxxk sake.

We need to give the lad a chance to settle. His confidence is clearly shot after the PSV game and it’ll take time to build that up again. The main issue i see is that clement doesn’t look like he’ll play a box to box type player in the mould of Cifu. He showed in his first couple games he has something and I think long term he’ll show it. The amount of criticism the team/ manager got at the start of the season was as bad as I can remember it. Would’ve been a shock to the new players.

Cifu started well for us, but looks a bit lost at moment.

LOL my Star, your right I was after a wee cheeky bite. No malice involved think if we were in person we would both be laughing and you'd be giving me something back, on line can come across differently.

Correct Tjbb, but it's definitely levels up mate, i wouldn't watch our league games if i didn't support Rangers, just like many others, Cifuentes needs time it's a lot faster where he's playing football now, but he's a very good footballer, that man has some vision.

The boy did start well, but he does look lost, and not very happy. If infact he is homesick, and he doesn't want to be here, then there's no point in keeping him.
To go from Ecuador, to LA, then onto Glasgow, must be some culture shock for anyone? Some can handle our climate, some can't, but when you're used to sunshine, and tropical weather, to all of a sudden constant rain, cold and dark winters, it's going to affect you.
Glasgow is depressing enough, but during the winter, it's horrible.

My Star your prob right as I don't watch it at all. what's your opinion on the no relegation do you think that comes into MLS players mentality near the end of the season at the bottom of the league. Do you think they will bring in a relegation type thing at all.
18 Nov 2023 17:24:36
I personally don’t think Cifu started well at all. He has generally always appeared wasteful in possession. Even on his debut, I recall him giving the ball away several times. I hope he comes good but I’m not hopeful.
18 Nov 2023 20:44:28
Star, you're your usual self and can't see anyone else's views that you actually need to swear, did he anger you that much? How did sands do here, maybe there is something to be said about the standard in the mls but you'll know best as usual . take a day off.

Anyone taking into account he was at the end of his season there so had played 30 odd games with no break when he arrived.
19 Nov 2023 00:19:50
He’s just been sent home from international duty due to suspension for next game so he can’t be that homesick or he’s be hanging it out back home.
Obviously an extra weeks rest and training back with us will do him no harm.

Mr PC I just wonder who you are hopefully not cc, the poster that I was replying too never bothered about my text, just you, anyway can the poster involved really have an opinion on the mls considering he's never watched it?

The boy has a football brain and is in need of a run of games to prove himself - he does the easy thing well- passes and moves and gets it back - a lot of our other mids can't seem to do this on a regular basis so think he needs a break - Paul McStay did this for many years and made Celtic tick in midfield and made a long career from that -so at least allow the boy a fair crack?.
