Hah. First of all, best of luck for your marriage, you sure seem to be taking an effort!As a Canadian who is soon to be married to a Yorkshire lass.. I'm trying desperately to get into football (more to impress the brothers).
Can someone give some insight as to what it means to be "invited to train?" I assume the team is going to kick his tires but what are the potential outcomes?
And any guesses (historically) to how many move on from the invitation to climbing the ladder to make the team?
Thanks for any insight... What are the chances I'll end up having to buy a Man Utd kit?
We usually invite talented youngsters to come in and train at the club for a closer look. It's basically a trial.As a Canadian who is soon to be married to a Yorkshire lass.. I'm trying desperately to get into football (more to impress the brothers).

The talk is of signing now and just training until November or maybe staying on loan at the Whitecaps until the end of the MLS season. Although just seen a different report that Vancouver want more than the $12m and Bayern aren't willing to go higher. We shall see.He is a left footed winger which Bayern need but, he is probably far away from being able to contribute at a side like Bayern. And does not turn 18 until November so will not be able to join Bayern until January.
I like their team name more than all the MLS teams that go by "United" or Real Salt Lake.That team has a pretty terrible name.
Was he referring to the Whitecaps? If so, I don't see what's wrong with the name. It works for me!I like their team name more than all the MLS teams that go by "United" or Real Salt Lake.
Yeah, I was. Maybe I'm overly sensitive. It's a bird right? Anyhow, I won't derail the talk of this player I know nothing about any further.Was he referring to the Whitecaps? If so, I don't see what's wrong with the name. It works for me!
A bird? What? It refers to the mountains and the waves of the ocean. It's a great team name.Yeah, I was. Maybe I'm overly sensitive. It's a bird right? Anyhow, I won't derail the talk of this player I know nothing about any further.
They turned the invitation down anyway.why would his club agree to let him train with us? Isn't he under contract?
It’s simply that the game has changed over the years to where wingers primary job isn’t to cross into the box, but to score goals, so they play on the opposite side to allow them to shoot from a better angle.Shame he isn't a RW.
Must be some sort of rule against being a RW these days, fecking LW's the lot of them.
And he’s a LW? Rare in today’s game.Tbf Alphonso is left footed.
This exactly. And it goes back a ways too. Vancouver's team in the old NASL of the seventies were also called the Whitecaps. I love the name.A bird? What? It refers to the mountains and the waves of the ocean. It's a great team name.
Messi .Signed him for United on my Fifa career mode not long ago. Same happened with Bailly - I signed him on Fifa and he came in real life. Anyone else I should get on Fifa?
