Very interesting.

Instead of Butland most probably. If this fella impresses then we'll get him and Lloris.

Good QB for Boston College and the Falcons.

Will be great at long throws from our box, will be right at Adebayor's feet in the opponent's 18 yard box.

Seem to remember him tearing apart that crap UNC defense. Or was that after UNC started paying their players?

That was before we got caught, so our defense was actually quite good! It was only once they started enforcing the rules that we had actual trouble.

have seen lots of him - brilliant young goalkeeper in the A-League. He has done very well for the Central Coast.

I'm actually a Canes fan myself! I was born in Homestead and both my parents went to UM for law school. I root for them over UNC every year, as a matter of fact.

ALSO there was all this talk about the death penalty for UM and UNC over their issues, but what about for Penn State? That shit is so much worse.

Sorry to whoever started this thread for taking it so far off topic

Search "EliteGoalkeeping" on youtube- they have about 10-15 videos of the kid and they show more than just the highlight tapes. Excellent videos IMO, ones like those are much better for a scouting purpose than 3 minute ones with pop songs and effects that are 75% replays or visuals of the player's face or slow motion celebrations.

He's kind of short though isn't he? I don't think it's a problem though, so is Casillas. Plus, he's much more composed in the air and claims more crosses in the videos than the 6'3" Brad Friedel did in one whole season. I like Ryan. Hopefully he impresses here.

Assessmennt of Ryan from an Aussie & decent video on end. Seems short but this hasn't stopped him - and he comes off his line with good distributioin which might appeal to AVB. My biggest question might be whether he can cope with the speed of the Premiership

Looks like Howard's goal.. kinda.

I am scared to think about what he did to Duke's defense, that was when we were really, really crap - not just crap

 

[Misfit]

Yeah. He isn't perfect. CANCEL THE TRIAL!

Quite promising based on a couple of videos, stays big and makes a lot of blocks and his distribution seems pretty good the few times it is shown on the vids.

Hope he does well on trial, could potentially be a bargain.
