Indy Eleven- what a name. Lol

[hypochondriac]

A lot of movement today. Must be getting rid of the deadwood. I doubt we will be keeping a load of players rotting in the reserves going forward.

Shame, I know his old fella and was hoping he'd make the first team and boost my itk credentials. His dad was a really good youth player that never made it, one of the best around until about 16.I don't think some people realise just how good you have to be to make it at the top of the game.

Even the yanks know about our "prestigious academy". Yay! Go team Saints!!

Cool that Indy Eleven has a Saints-ish player. Even if they can't always spell 'Southampton' correctly...

Think he's doing ok without exactly setting Indiana on fire. He's now an 'ampshire 'oosier. I'd buy him a beer, but he ain't old enough yet!

FFS we are getting picked off by non CL clubs now.

Sweet deal. When I'm in Indy next month for the MotoGP race maybe I can score a Saints kit from him.

Yeah this. Corby Moore came through the SFC academy and is now playing in the NASL (the league below the MLS (that a lot of non-Americans dismiss as a joke league)). Indy Eleven are currently bottom of the NASL:

Still a damn sight better than most of us will ever do - but to make it to anywhere near the top of the game? Like you say - that's hard.

We go to the Gulf Coast most years (Anna Marie Island) & watch Tampa Bay Rowdies in the NASL. The standard is pretty poor, but always enjoy the ladies in bikinis serving ice cold beer!!

some "news " gets circulated around and around and suddenly re-emerges as the latest.

 

I'm absolutely sure that SFC published this as " a done deal" before the end of last season.

Good for them. Because I reported it as news in March.
