  • As he's a free agent, probably won't sign until after the window has closed, if at all.

    I'm told a new player training with the team yesterday 
    That's what I was told too by a club source. Wouldn't say who it was.
    pogba's brother, 29, a centre half
    Looked on Wikipedia and saw he has two brothers.

    Clicked on one, saw he was 29, must be that one.

    Went back and realised they’re twins.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florentin_Pogba

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias_Pogba

    Florentin is a defender playing in the MLS, must be him.

    Mathias has played in England and Scotland but he’s a striker currently in the Spanish lower leagues.

    Sign all three brothers and we could have a spine of Pogba’s through the middle of the team. 
    Looked on wiki, totally underwhelmed. A journeyman footballer if ever I saw one. Definitely not one who will improve the team in my opinion. And definitely not one who will push us on to the next level.
    Blimey, at least Driesen went a bit further than judging a player on their Wikipedia!!

    He's had four clubs (not including a loan) and he's 29. I wouldn't call him a journeyman.

    I trust in Gallen & Bowyer. Hardly failed us yet.
    Ok, maybe journeyman the wrong choice of word, but his playing record isn’t exactly inspiring. One to improve the team and push us to the next level? I very much doubt it.
    How good do you have to be, to be better than Sarr & Pearce? It's not a high standard. Every chance he's better. 

    Anyway, I guess I have a bit more faith in our scouting structure and I'm excited to see him play. (If this is true.)
  • Bluff as with some shit footballer , then bring out the average signings and we can talk them right up in a huge sigh of relief

    MLS = Championship level?

    Plan might be a short term deal to act as cover for the rest of the season.

    Commercial genius as well to get the kids wearing shirts with Pogba on the back.

    If Pogba is training with us is true then surely this is a fact rather than a rumour. 
  • MLS second division. I’m always willing to give new players a chance but in this case, underwhelmed

    I didnt think the players were training yesterday. LB said after the Fulham game that he had given them the rest of the week off.

    Atlanta aren’t in the second division. They’re one of the best teams in the MLS. Won the play offs in 2018 and made it to the semis in 2019.

    We can worry about pushing to the next level later, right now we need to ensure we stay at this level.

    I reckon you might be wrong on that one, I think Sarr & Pearce are at a higher level than a MLS sides reserve team.

    To update the cliché, football isn't played on Wikipedia. I'd trust Gallen to have done his homework, and Bowyer to make a judgement based on what he sees in training.

    Atlanta aren’t in the second division. They’re one of the best teams in the MLS. Won the play offs in 2018 and made it to the semis in 2019.
    The wiki link posted earlier says he plays for Atlanta 2 in mls 2

    It says he played 4 games for them in the same year he played 13 games for the first team. 

    Of course most teams and leagues don't record reserve appearances on their Wikipedia.

    Are we sure that he is the player training who is signed? 

    Could he be on trial and another player is training who has signed due to be announced?

    We got Abraham Odoh from them and had another of their kids on trial last season too. Maybe we have a tie up!

    Florentin is 6'2" and left footed, so if he impresses he could be the Sarr/Pearce upgrade

    He was injured for a period of time so they sent him out to their second team to gain match sharpness. Different way of doing it, but essentially the same as playing for U23s here.

    Don’t know enough about him but know he’s a left footed centre back who is quite strong. That’s pretty much about it.

    Yeah. The only difference is their reserve side plays in a league where performances are recorded. 

    If it worked like that everywhere we'd be moaning every player had played in the reserves.

    Looks like he can also play left-back judging from YouTube.

    Cool, but he was playing for their reserves this season, as per his Wiki page.
