surely not! Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'm not actually making a point though am I. You mentioned you rolled Bo'ness over, and that would be expected as they probably only had two or three player's of the standard of your team. My point is this probably upwards of 40 young guys that could easily make the step up but I'll guarantee clubs will sign the 38 year old on his way out before even looking. Some do, some don't. You could put a squad together of best players at any level and they'd do well at the level above.There are numerous examples of players who step up from juniors and do well and plenty who've stepped up and bombed. There won't however be any managers out there who will be neglecting the chance (willingly) to sign good quality players who willImprove their squad. As such, there's often something that holds back those top junior players- home situ, family life, job, wages, confidence in themselves or just a series of managers who consistently think they aren't good enough for the next level.

Remember these Spanish waiters we had a year or two ago, Andy? They looked great on their videos on YouTube. In reality, their service was a bit slow...

wulliemc Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Was it Ruben that looked like Pele against Vale of Leithen and then crashed and burned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Ruben looked okay imo. Didn't get much of a run out but he loved going steaming into tackles which I was a big fan of. Felt he could have offered more. It was another Spaniard in the VoL game - his name escapes me. He looked brilliant that day. Im still not sure if Pablo Navas exists. Colin Cameron had some weird signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza81 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Nah it was a guy called Albert (I think) in the VoL game. An ageing central midfielder. He liked the fact that 10 men VoL gave him acres of space - he was not so effective against an actual team. What a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
