clear pandering to Jersey City and Manila Avenue...

 

Wondering why a guy who represented England U16 17 an 20 is 1) out of contract and 2) decides to switch to national teams.

Sign him no! Will cross two almost impossible to obtain nations from the all-time list: Philippines and UAE, his birthplace.

Do you really think the main reason why RB is trialling a 20 year young player who came from an English academy and the English youth national team is becuase he is some percentage Filipino?


Fuck the right wing.

He has played 6 professional matches, all in League One with Oldham.  He hasn't played for any English youth team in 3 years.

The other issue is the lack of an international spot on both the senior and usl teams.  The same issue keeping Junior Flemmings off the team.

Without knowing anything about him or seeing him play, I do think the fact that he plays multiple positions will appeal to Marsch.

If they had Manny Pacquiao on trial then yes they are pandering.  In this case of course not.
