You will find all of them played football.
What level did you play at?
A decent level. Enough to have an understanding that Moussa Dembele will be a star for us.

AVB got his A license at the age of 19 - when exactly did he find the time for a career as a footballer?

I think the basic point is that playing at the top level gives you exposure to top level managers who should fill your head with tactics and working off the ball etc. that the average guy in the pub watching football might not be aware of, but it's not the only way of getting that knowledge.
I didn't say he had a career as a footballer. I said he had played football. But yeah that's the point I was trying to make. Basically it's what you do when you don't have the ball that matters alot of the time.

I'm guessing a huge percentage of people on here have played football.

Can you not just agree that your original point was, at best, a poorly worded exaggeration and then we can just leave this and get back to moaning about players being shampooe?
Whether you have played football or not, it's hardly rocket science. Jock Stein once said it was one of the simplest games in all of sport. "When we have the ball we are all attackers. When the opposition has the ball we are all defenders". He would tweak this philosophy slightly by for example, ordering John Clark to never cross the halfway line. Much of the game is instinctive to those who are naturally gifted. Others have to work harder and need good coaching to get the best of their abilities. That's where playing experience is essential IMO.

With statements like that, you really should have the guts to back them up by saying at what level you actually played.

Semi-pro? YTS? Junior? You're right good at 5s?

Not professionally. What level do you need to play at to qualify for having an opinion?

I don't need to go into it. It's like the source thing that every1 demands when a guy says that they are in the know about a signing.

KDS 8s player checking in. He looks like he'd bring the standard of our game down, sadly.

Make of that what you will.

Wondered how long it would take you to pipe up. Surprised you aren't dreaming about our downfall against Astana so you can be proved right.

Probably not that good a level then, I'm guessing.

It's eff all like that. You're claiming you've got an 'expert' opinion - back yourself up. Tell us what level you've played at that makes your opinion more valid than mine.

:lmao: Thomas Tuchel is the current coach of Borussia Dortmund and he played at a pish level (although higher than you, obviously). Alan Shearer and Mark Lawrenson played at the top and talk nonsense.

Your point is nonsense. Just admit it, it'll be less embarrassing for you.

I make Mo Bangura look like Leo Messi, but I also think he'll be a fine player for us. So tell me, how am I able to see this without having played more than a handful of actual games of football in my life? Am I some sort of savant? :ponder:
