Well, if that's the case, what about Mattocks?Hurtado is NOT Robo's type of player. Robo values speed, skill, and footballing intelligence / creativity. Hurtado gets 1/3 there.
Sorry Base, you can't build a side with poor characters.Jigsaw TFC is trying to buy a wining team. Caps are building a young and upcoming side.To tell the troth I like Caps future more. At the end of the season I think both will have equal points. Buying players helps at the start but hurts in the long run. Caps have seven eight good midfield players. It's going to be dam hard to make the starting eleven. Robbo was just a hard worker with little to none for a skill. There is us out there that do fallow European players and their leagues.
We all wish Robbo luck but with out one or two older players he is for a long long season. Beating Victoria University with nine starters only one zip does not speak very much. We will see what they do in next two friendlies. Robbo will stick with starters just to see where it takes him.
We do have more pace and more forward attack. I just think finishing might be bit of a problem. Miller is already hurt before the season even started. That's one spot in my opinion that should do better. Mattocks the same as he should sore goals against lower level players.
Jigsaw I do know what you think of some of the kids. They do act like little children. I would do the same with Mattocks and other guy. Club gives you a chance and you act like a spoiled child it's time to move on. As far players added this year. I do think Dean is a class act kid, the other two guys the same.
As you know it's a risk when it comes to selecting players. Some work out some fall and move on. I do like what Robbo has for D and Mids. I am not so sure about attackers and finishing. That would be one area I would shore up.
Club must go to Barclay League and buy a striker from a team dropping to Barclay second div. MLS is very physical league. Some youngsters need another year to develop.
I hope Robbo buys some meds as he will need them this year. I see this as a biggest up and down year club ever head.
All these youngsters will drive Coacker mad. He might say get me the hell out of here. In my opinion future looks OK.
