Fight him: Turn to page 67. Run: Turn to page 79. You run. The Ogre was a makeweight in a deal with Juventus. You have now failed PSR. Roll a D12 to take points deduction damage. Reminds me of one particularly malicious one I had that killed you at practically every turn if you missed the correct choice somewhere back around the sixth page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted June 20 Popular Post Share Posted June 20 The Carlos Sanchez effect. Nobody knows how good he is but he's a new name, he's different and exciting so let's get him! Weston McKennie, full international, lots of experience and rave reviews but because we saw him a few times and he wasn't great he's absolute dog turd forever. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll do, that'll do nicely. I stopped reading " Born in VILLA Maria " He's already a legend and the stars have aligned...

sne Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Hopefully it's stand in for Kamara and after that competition. Might be a tad optimistic. Doubt Tim was in Emery's plans at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes players have to make themselves appear in the plans. I think Unai would have liked the problem of a young player forcing his way into the plans, but it didn't happen for Tim. Shame, as he's a good player. I had hopes for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't paint McKennie as something he's not. There's a lot of hyperbole surrounding him but pulling far too much in the opposite direction doesn't help matters.

CVByrne Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) I get the feeling we enquired about this guy and Soule and Juve said no. Juve need to sell McKennie. As McKennie issue is between him and Juve and they need the deal to complete too so they've allowed us to add Barrenechea into it instead. We might come back to McKennie later in window whenever or if he sorts out his issue with Juve Edited June 20 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing against that tbf - the point I was trying to make was that the truth lies in the middle rather than on the hyperobolic extemes.

Zatman Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 3 hours ago, MaVilla said: oh blimey, interesting. Looking at his stats, he looks like a pure DM type, lots of blocks, tackles, aerial duels won, and a lot of passing sideways. be interesting if he is in the package for Luiz. Frosinone would have defended a lot more than other teams so his tackles and blocks should be higher than say a Kamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
