Quagmire Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Id rather we sign players with potential from the smaller Scottish teams, like Ferguson and Nisbett, than signing guys that can't even get a game for Atlanta. Dross. Lazy as fuck signings. Looks like he's played the majority of his football for a team called Georgia Gwinnett Grizzlies ffs. Go Grizzlies! Link to comment

He reckons that the better NAIA colleges would probably be the equivalent of lower NCAA D1 teams and higher NCAA D2 teams. Bit of dad-bragging here, my son was voted onto the NAIA All-American team. It depends on the sport, but I agree that it varies. In some sports there is an NAIA 1 and 2 level. In basketball there are a few schools with D1 level programs. In part because they will take on talent with baggage and the rules are more lax. No way an NAIA 2 team hangs with an NCAA 2 because the NCAA has more scholarships to dish out. But congrats, the naia also has mostly student athletes focusing on school 1st. Link to comment

Fridge Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good knowledge if you ever end up on Jeapordy. “A dude in Sweden who loves life in slow motion” “What’s a pellet?” Could be fucked if the actual answer is “Who is Thomas Brolin?” Link to comment

Cos Cormack wants to prove the Atlanta connection worthwhile & that their rejects are good enough to play regular for us. Loanees or permanents. Gurr better be dropped for Ramsay if he is indeed as shite to average as I expect. Unless he pleasantly surprises me Link to comment

Dross. Lazy as fuck signings. Looks like he's played the majority of his football for a team called Georgia Gwinnett Grizzlies ffs. Go Grizzlies! This. Investing into young and promising players means we can potentially gain a bit of money for it selling them on later down the line. McLean, Cosgrove, McKenna and probably Ferguson now too being examples. These loans are lazy and also lose lose for us. They're either going to be crap or if they are any good, Atlanta are just going to take them back and we'll get nothing for it. Very short term approach just for the sake of Dodgy Dave impressing his yank pals. Slowly becoming like Hearts did under Mad Vlad with all these loans. Link to comment
Henry Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 19 hours ago, Ten Caat said: Happens a lot in American sport. The player's salary counts towards the salary cap allocated to the teams. If they sign a dud, they have to release the player from the club to free up cap space when they are close to the limit of the cap. Until the player signs for someone else they still have to pay him but he's at least officially off the books cap wise so they can then sign another player with the freed up cap space. It happens even more frequently in the NFL.......and there you aren't looking at salaries in the $100-300k range, more like $3million upwards So it's not just AFC and SPL wages you're an expert on. 3 1 Link to comment

It’s difficult to say at what level he would likely play in Scotland. We live overseas and similar to the USA there’s no proper pyramid system , so difficult to gauge his actual level. He’s also planning to live in the states, so that dream move to Aberdeen is unlikely! I think if he was to come back to Scotland that highland / lowland league or division 2 would likely be his level. Link to comment

Quite a few have written him off before he has kicked a ball for us. The only problem is having too many English players in the team. When he was signed we should have been made to ditch Joe Lewis or some other English nomad. 1 1 Link to comment
