WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Liam should hang around Basel for a bit.... ...at least long enough to pick up one of these shirts. To steal from X - it gives either Flavourtown or Bam Bam Bigelow vibes. Canuckia, Corazon, nolando and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 @spitfire You know I am joking right? It was great to be able see him in England. In fact you should tell him to point out to West Ham how poor their left wing depth is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, Borjans Sweatpants said: Good team to keep developing at as a mid point for a few decent and potentially decent players. Bowen, Jacob Greaves, Jaden Philogene(probably look to replace him ?). Keane Lewis-Potter; Robert Snodgrass (a ways back) Be interesting. A whole lot of their attack was on loan last year, Delap (Man City sold him to Ispwich) Carvalho (currently back at Liverpool) , they had Zaroury (Burnley) for a while. Sold or let go a couple other strikers (one of which was Billy Sharpe - 38 - who was keeping Jebbison out a couple years back). As above Philogene is gone. None of the 4 players they now list as forwards or wingers were starters with them last year. A rebuild up front for sure but surely a chance for some minutes.

Crazy how time flies, I'm just realizing Liam is 25 this year. At what age do you think development stops? Or when a player has reached their best self? I understand this varies by position.

I think it more varies by the position the player plays. Wingers are a young man's position, especially if you haven't established yourself as consistent goal scorer or "assister". What's key for him and what has been lacking is club consistency. 5 clubs in 5 years is very tough to truly hone/develop your craft. costarg, TOcanadafan and sose 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 The reality is that if he settles at a level where he is a player who is top end Championship or low end Premier League, he will have a very successful career and be a solid role player for Canada.

CanSoccfan11 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) I think for Liam it's about going out and doing it again with a bit more consistency. If he's a top player on a strong championship side a couple years in a row it will likely open up top 4 league opportunities for him.

Very rarely do you see that for outside players. Regardless, a lot changes quickly year over year. So I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the premier league in 26'.

I guess that's the weird reality of being an in-demand pro footballer in the latter stages of a transfer window. We may see something similar with David and we did see a version of that with Cornelius recently. Canuckia and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) I've said this before transfer windows are fun for fans but a very stressful nervous time for the player and their family..mostly waiting and hoping for interest to turn into an official offer and even when the deals start getting done(if they get done..loads fall thru) it's so complicated all the details and inner workings of the contracts first between the clubs then working out personal terms it just takes time painful time...then the real work begins, travelling for a medical then press and the big reveal all while trying to find a place to live, a school for the kids... loads of stress and then you are meant to hit the ground running and be at your best.. But an amazing thing to live your dream but not always roses.. Edited August 7 by spitfire narduch, Strait Red, Corazon and 18 others 18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) I find it funny that medical is done in London and not in Hull. The deal seems to be for a million quid a year, not bad at all!
