Moving to a shite league is obviously way worse than moving to the best league in the world. Very disppointing move from Gauld. My interest in his progress basically ends now, as he has given up on a crack at becoming a top level player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those stats last year he will surely be headed for a champions league team from one of the big four leagues. You're an absolute virgin. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Do you mean The Championship or the Scottish Premier League - I wouldn't consider either the best league in the world.Well as one hasn't existed for years and the other has Arbroath and Partick Thistle in it, you're probably right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's going on here, you asked if it was a fair statement to say that Fleck's career has gone better than Gauld's. I said that Fleck has played more top level football so his has gone better. So aye, it's a fair statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Ran away to play in the diddy North American league rather than testing himself in one of the big four European leagues. Gained a total of zero caps for Argentina. Of course he was pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an obvious joke to be made about [insert middling club here]. But the whole point of being a second tier side in the US is that you are the development side for one of the top tier sides. The farm system, if you will. The fans of whichever top tier team it is will probably follow their farm team as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) It's pretty clear though that circumstances have a significant bearing on careers. It just hasn't worked out for Gauld - It's not necessarily down to him. You have to imagine the interest from the EPL isn't that strong and understandably so as he isn't really playing at a high level. He's not really young anymore, not thrived at Sporting Lisbon and is crushing it at a fairly low European level. I mean from that perspective a move to Vancouver Whitecaps makes good sense.
