Richard Eckersley on trial

[Shrimperforlife]

That is true and usually if they do sign we barely see them play and then they leave the following summer.

Didnt Coker and Deegan start as trailists??

This statement is so true, Tamika Mkandawire plays for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the League below the MLS and i am sure that many would welcome him back with open arms

After Penney gets nicked for the Casino ´´rumble ´´ (aledgedly, Supposedly and innocent until proved etc etc) can I suggest an alternative that we are called ´´Thorpe Bay Rowdies´´ as an MLS name??

Reading about Eckersley he seemed to be highly rated at Toronto but struggled with injuries. He did manage to injure himself celebrating a goal.

Was that upon hearing the news from his agent that he will be on trial with us?

Oh I agree, not a bad standard at all. The Yanks just need to give their teams normal names...Rowdies for pete sake...really!

Not sure why American teams need to have English style names? Got to appeal to americans not us.

Nice Photo!

Some eye candy for the ladies there...

When he found out we are not wearing a chequered shirt next season

2015 average attendance is 5,700 compared to our 6,024 so you can see that it is growing in status

It's Orlando City I'm keeping my eye on due to my love for the place and the fact I lived there for a year - I watched them once or twice in their final USL Pro season when they were playing at ESPN Wide World of Sports and they were getting crowds of 3-5,000 then. Now it's an MLS Franchise and is playing in Downtown Orlando, average attendances are around the 38,000 mark. It really is growing.

I'm sure he's the cornet player who tried to gas himself in The Full Monty!

Lumper, yep, could be. The plot thickens

Yeah Im not sure why he is being classed as a 'good player with pedigree' with such little known about him.

If he were that good he wouldnt have gone to the states or coming back on trial to us. Hopefully he will prove to be a good player, but also likely he will trial and disappear.

Eh? Who wouldn't rather play for Toronto or New York than float around the lower leagues?

 

[lombard]

He looks like Nicky Baily, the ginger c**t .

MLS technically is now a higher standard than L1 and the teams are technically better than Southend last season. However, it's "apples & oranges" MLS more like Spain or Italy, slower build up and players given more space and time in certain areas of the field. Nothing like the fully committed "blood & guts" "kick and run" we often see and enjoy in L1 & L2. Always amazed how USA soccer is still slagged off England. The National team certainly better than England at the moment, just beat Holland & Germany away last month, have beaten Italy in Italy last year, Think of the reaction if England had been able to do that. Happy about Timlin signing.
