Clemdog 39,389 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Why bother with 'gifted footballers' when you can have 'physical runners'. Obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefinitelyMust be pretty frustrating for him when he trains with the national team, though. At Madrid he'll have these incredible youngsters to link up with then it comes to Scotland it's Jason Smith from Dunfermline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo 1,433 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Suppressing and discouraging flair from an early stage in favour of physicality. Who gives a fuck if you progress through a youth comp? These teams should be about developing talent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 other people build there team around that type of floating player. We dont include therm in the squad.Continental teams appear quite happy to have a player that doesn't do much graft if he scores or creates a lot - British teams dont like that at all. "why am i working my arse off when he floats about doing fuck all?" - yet forgets when the guy scores the winner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,070 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If Jack Harper was playing for the mhankies he would be next..Ronaldo/Rooney/Giggs/Baggio and be a certain starter!!??...I mean what do Real Madrid know about Football Talent!?..

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Everything that is wrong with our footballing philosophy. What sort of message does that send to Jack and all other offensive minded players. We should be encouraging and praising these type of prospects. It's easy to teach players to work hard however it's not so easy to train players into technically gifted players. He may or may not turn out to have a successful career but pretty draconian comments from RS. In saying that I'm sure his time will come sooner than later.

tannerall 25,935 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Too much of the Ronaldo about him, we need traditional hard team players with no flair who can grind out 2-1 defeats, not show offs............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre 1,663 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 He also said he was too small, at 6ft tall he's hardly tiny. So many of the world's best players wouldn't get a game for Scotland for being too small Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.C. 18,712 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Has he ever played a senior game for Madrid? Surprised no one's tried to take him on loan. A few clubs are interested in Odegaard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 See this is everything that's wrong with our country. People can laugh all they want, but see if Messi was Scottish he'd never have been the player he is today. It's time Scottish football was overhauled top to bottom.
