Sam a like you points you made alot of sense about the Gay.
How can just say jamal gay cant finish.
He was top scorer for under20 top scorer for under23s under angus and top scorer for cale last season and has 3 for them this season.
He is not slow, he can dribble but he follows his coach instruction which is to hold up the ball.
Dont say he cant finish if is one thing jamal can score goals.
Stop talk bout mediorce teams. all teams is team sum just better than others.
You say he got mark out against settle but he was cause all trouble till he won a pk.
He score a hammer against Marthon in hondurus. Just you want blood.
This is my end of discussion with u your point are shit.
If is one thing
JaMAL IS A GOAL SCORER END OF DISCUSSION. GOals is goals any way any time.
Messi ronaldo score 72 and 68 respectively and all werent scored against top opposition.
It still count as goals regardless of who score against.
I WILL HAVE DISCUSSION ON THIS SITE WITH FOLKS WHO HAVE SENSE OF THE GAME AND WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAME AT ONE POINT IN TIME.
SK i agree with you to a certain degree but your quote about goals being goals no matter who its scored on isnt really true. First let me say I live in the US so i dont get to see proleague games but i do watch CCL and the U-20s and Olympic Qualifiers WCQualifiers etc.. when i can. I do think that Gay is a quality player who could make it in Europe and i believe that he deserves to be on the team. However i dont believe he would be the starter on our full team. Also Jorsling is one who has feasted on weak pro league defenses and scored plenty of goals vs weak teams without doing anything vs quality teams. And if that wasnt good enough he went to the USL a league you described as "not very good" and didnt even get minutes. He really isnt up to par and doesnt need to be on the team at this point. Roberts is really just better than him its really not much of a debate,he tore up the USL in half a season and scored more goals in his 3 months in that league than Jorsling did in a whole season. If he played the same amount of games (vs the weak teams) Jorsling and Baptiste did he would have triple the goals. However he hasnt and always has to play on the wings because of our lack of left sided players.

Breds, i've been telling ppl that forever and bc of that ppl got the impression that i was a fan, in fact, i don't know the boy from nowhere, but i watch him play a few games @ liberty and the national team, and from there i came to the realization that the kid was a steal, especially when he's played in his position. the man is ah top striker.
as for jamal, the bredder has potential, but it would never be realized until he moves away from the PFL. as you said about devon, same should be said about jamal. when you excel against weaker opponents, is never a good gauge for proficiency.
i saw jamal in CCL and in the U23 games and he looked quite ordinary. he didn't even trouble the mexican or honduran defense, in reality, he was a non entity.
in the preliminary round of the olympic qualifiers he blew out weaker opponents, but came time for mex. hon even seattle and the other teams in their CCL group, he was relatively quiet with very little impact on the game, now that is not my idea of a great striker.
i saw no running @ the defense, no taking on defenders one on one, no aerial threat ability, no pace, just holding up the ball waiting for service, real predictable.
i said the same thing about jason scotland, and i made a lot of enemies on here bc of my criticism of him, about two yrs later ppl started dogging scotland, mind you, the same ppl who were cussing me stink telling me that i don't know shyte about football.
they came to that realization when we were on the brink of losing out on a place in south africa in the last few games of the hex, but i saw it plain, miles away, especially when we played bermuda @ the marvin lee stadium where they beat us 2-1 in a WC preliminary round game.
the man was totally shut out the game by some slow fat defenders. the central defender and the full back on the left side had scotty in their back pockets and kept pushing him to the flanks causing him to pass back instead of going forward, you should have seen the frustration on stern's face when he realize that he had no help breaking down that defense.
mind you, no penetration, no speed to out run defenders, it was ah sweet deal for bermuda. a slow front line afford the opposing team the opportunity to organize their defense every time their opponents launch an attack, and bermuda was playing a very low line (backs and forwards if you may) the defense didn't go past the 18 yrd box, in other words real deep defense.
the end result, scotty collect the ball in the final third and waited for help instead of disrupting the defense by going straight for six yard box. i knew right there that we were never going to get that equalizer.
in the return game the coach went with two more mobile pacey forwards, darryl roberts and errol mc farlene, from the whistle they were disrupting bermuda's defense, roberts constantly running @ the six yard box and mafarlene drawing the defense out wide, alternating with roberts to make room in the box for either forward, end result, the defense were worn down and lost concentration causing daniel to square a pass for darryl who quickly turned and shot to the roof of the net.
had scotty started with stern we would have lost again, that's bc he was no threat to the defense, and jamal kind of reminds me of scotty, and i will go as far as to say, if he don't learn how to run @ defenders and penetrate with power and pace, he will never make it as a renown striker.
check these men game who made an impact on the sport as feared renown attackers. rooney, henry, crespo, donovan, altidor, yorke, ronaldo phenomeno, sheringham, micheal owen, eto, deigo meltio, goerge wea, JJ ococha, jason robert and carlos tevez.
