nachothelegend 1,932 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think our Young Players would benefit immensley from a Match against European opposition.I think a game against a big name such as Ajax , Shalke or maybe Seville or Lazio would give our Lads a chance to savour whats ahead for them.We need to make this happen soon , and I would like to see how they would compete against Foreign Players , who are Technically Superior.Also give Ally a chance to see where we need to strenghten when we get back to the Top.Would be interesting to see what level we are capable of .What do we all think of this?

The Godfather 75,952 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 They all have European football as well as domestic it wouldn't happen IMO.Then you have to factor into things the cost of policing ect for the games and unless it was a sell out would there be much point?

Blue Nosed Babe 21,524 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Could this not be done as a pre season? It would be more workable then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Too soon for thisI disagree the sooner the better for me.However yes as stated most have Competative Games but preseason would be Ideal for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Wee bit too early,getting hammered won't do much for their confidence either to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 75,952 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Confidence is a fragile thing to youngsters and we are on a winning run so I don't see how a chase the ball session against a European power house would help just now.I'm not against it if it were lower end euro clubs but then would the attract the punters? Hopefully pre season we will get some tests against technical sides which will help the young ones and bed them in so to speak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,710 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 If we did it in the summer and had signed some players this would give them some game time without having to wait until September as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 If it was to go on how we play at the moment then we would get humped. Imagine professional footballers running at our defence, it would be a nightmare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think we should leave it till the pre season, but there's no point in playing a real top side, even if they went easy on us it could be catastrophic.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,464 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 No big team would come for a friendly at this time of the season.If by any chance 1 did, there is no benefit for our youngsters getting pumped off some cunts reserves.
