I always end up playing Sounders on FIFA if I play online as CCFC as they are judged to be equal. They have Dempsey and Martins up front!!

Central Mid, 25 and played less than 100 games in the States. Scored 10 in 70 odd. That's all I can find.

Anatomy of one of his goals!

Don't players typically start a bit later in the US due to the college system and all that?

Looks like he was at Bristol City 2002 - 2008

 

[Winny the Bish]

He's hardly a standout player for the Sounders. Good and solid in central midfield but nothing special.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

"Serviceable" seems a bit more appropriate. He did end up being fairly steady as a one-touch pivot at the back of a midfield triangle, but the drop-off in defense from Ozzie to Rose was one of the things that really doomed the Sounders in the post-season. He is what he is, a fairly steady and very fit substitute player. He can wear a number of hats and will give it his best. He’s not going to challenge for starter minutes against a truly capable MLS starter and he seems fairly well-suited for the third tier of English football.

I hope him the best, but also hope the Sounders find someone with a bit lower center of gravity who is more agile in his lateral movements to be the back up at defensive midfield.

This is a genuine post from a Sounders fan. What it means I'm not too sure

 

[Nick]

We have been lacking a one touch pivot for a while. We really need starter minutes though!

 

[Philosorapter]

Perfect SWOS goal.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Sounds like back-up to Vincelot

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Could he bring one of the Sounders owners with him Paul Allen will do

 

[hill83]

He's a sounders fuck geezer

 

[covcity4life]

we could do with the sounders fans to be fair! great atmosphere

Backup for Fleck & Vincelot, bloody needed if the plan is to secure promotion.
TM is planning ahead, previous managers tended to be reactive because they hadn't thought it through.

Difference between novice & experienced manager.

I take back my comments from the other day. It's not just about the gifs. Good work sir.

I haven't heard of 90% of the players we sign. If Mowbray rates him then he will be good, that's the basis I work on.

NOOOooooòooòooòooooooo

 

[Captain Dart]

Jack Finch (19) & G Thomas (18) too young to be relied upon, hopefully will continue to progress & have great careers.

It appears that TM's gameplan with Rose is bring in a bit of experience to shore up the midfield.

* Unless you meant C Thomas, he hasn't really broken back into the side, but he is one backup used fairly regularly, Rose would likely be used similarly.

I love how happy he gets with himself!! Keeps nodding his head.

Probably a day out for the lad, bless him - being covered in restraints all day must get tedious.

Hey Poole that was my take! http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sp...news/coventry-city-boss-tony-mowbray-10545652

Tony Mowbray is hunting understudies for the John Fleck- Romain Vincelot double act that has proved crucial to Coventry City’s promotion push.

The Sky Blues boss fears that a long-term injury to either of the holding midfielders in his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation could prove a major handicap.

And this isn't helpful.:thinking about:

A fresh setback for Conor Thomas, who is facing surgery on a hip injury, has prioritised his search for reinforcements and this week Andy Rose, an Australian-born Englishman who has spent the last three years playing in America, arrived at Ryton on trial.

 

[mechaishida]

You can't expect Poole to write his own material, c'mon now. All he's good at is trolling disheartened fans.

 

[Gazolba]

I hear he can score penalties. That is reason enough to sign him up.

Quote from my mate (a villa fan) who's been living in Seattle for last year or so when asked about him:

"Industrious, serviceable CM/DM who will slot in, scurry around and do a decent enough job but he'll never set the world alight. Perhaps a good shout to do Grandpa Cole's tracking back and tackling?"

 

[Squarks]

Make of that what you will, but I reckon a good option for the squad and Thomas replacement.

 

[higgs]

Is it time to set Thomas free hope I'm wrong but can't really see the lad making it now

sounds like he would fit in for Villa they could do with some new players.

 

[shmmeee]

He's only a year older than Jacob Murphy. Mowbray rates him from the sounds of it so I can't see him being released, especially when we are light on CM cover.

Besides, he's just gone in for surgery.

Cover for Vincelot now apparently Connor is recovering from a hip op, I've always been an advocate of a decent defensive CM, a good one makes a team damn hard to beat.
