I like seeing young players get a chance as much as anyone but chucking them in the team without due care is not a good idea. I'm sure the lack of reserve and youth games was another reason given by RN. Nothing against your post but folk hardly need to look very hard to find something to moan about.

Newton51 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Portuguese goalkeeper Joel Pereira has sent an emotional goodbye message after leaving Manchester United on Thursday. The 25-year-old's contract expired earlier this week, ending a nine-year stay with the club in which he made just three first-team appearances. The young keeper took to social media to post a video showcasing his time at Old Trafford and captioned it with a heartfelt goodbye message to the club. "2012-2021, 9 years as a Red", his Instagram post read. 1 hour ago, Sertse said: Is he still getting paid by Man Utd?

Orlando City SC and Chris Mueller have been involved in contract negotiations for some time, with the forward’s contract set to expire following the 2021 Major League Soccer season. Earlier, Mueller informed the Club that he has signed a pre-contract to join a European team upon the end of his time with Orlando City. The pre-contract was signed in line with all FIFA regulations. As noted, Mueller’s contract with Orlando City is valid through the end of the 2021 MLS season and will continue as a member of the Lions’ roster for the remainder of his time in Orlando.

I know I slate MLS for being shite but Orlando appear to be a decent side (they've got Nani, ex-Man Utd and Pato, ex-AC Milan). Mueller plays opposite side to Nani and is absolutely rapid and a good finisher, similar to GMS. MLS contracts run to 31 Dec though, so if we have signed him then it won't be until January. Have looked up a couple of stories and they are reporting that he's heading to Scotland. Honestly if we've pulled this one off I will be absolutely delighted.

BackOfTheNet Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Could be a number of clubs: Actually good player? Likely Rangers or Celtic. Partnerships? Aberdeen have biggest one with Atlanta Utd, but us and Hibs have connections in the US. My first thought was Aberdeen, they have already signed a striker from the MLS that has nothing to do with Atlanta. But GMS came from the MLS, so would be dependent on if we had (or have since had) connections over there, or if GMS was simply a player known to us that wanted to be close to family. I guess we will find out in January, unless they announce it before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the perfect signing for us and I actually reckon he would push his way into the team ahead of GMS/Gino and like you say, could crack on and bring in a decent transfer fee in a year or two. As I said earlier though, his contract doesn't run out until 31 Dec and all these articles saying he's leaving seem to expect that he'll see that out before joining his new club. So if we have signed him, we probably won't get him until January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
