Gut feeling then, that a guy I'm guessing you'd never heard of in a league I'd wager you know as little as I do about will be gone in 6-8 months? that's fine but our manager who worked with him for nearly two years in professional soccer has a different opinion and thinks he can offer something to the squad short term and offered him a 1yr deal. I just don't get the insta negativity. What exactly are you expecting? a whole new team, backroom staff, philosophy to magically appear instantly and free of charge ready to challenge at the top ? this isn't Champ Manager and we don't have cheat codes(RIP Rangers). Ultimately Glass will live or die by his signings but holy f**k it's June give the guy a fighting chance eh?

RandomGuy. Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 For what little its worth, but this is how Gurr "profiled" like against FBs in Americas 2nd tier in 2020. Can't comment on the quality of the level tbh. Poor in the air, and not the best defensively all round. Very much an attacking full back so maybe better suited as a wing back? Set up more chances "per90" than any other FB that season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up more chances "per90" than any other FB that season. There's a video that Atlanta uploaded to their YouTube account a couple of months ago. He's obviously very attacking and looks to play the ball in to feet (based on a short video of course) which is what we've been crying out for. He's also going to be a cheaper back up at best.

Yeah all points to him being an attacking back up tbh. Also had the odd game at RCB, LB, and RW for Atlanta. Think the USA leagues are a lot more possession oriented/lower tempo than here, suspect it'll be a culture shock the first time he receives a pass then gets instantly clattered.

And FWIW, less than 20 games for Atlanta B & that’s been compared by Martin Rennie, a Scottish coach working out there, to the Scottish Championship/lower Scottish Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyDickFingers Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Quote The deal was done more than a week ago with the MLS and the player. Houston asked for extra time to sign a replacement, that was the delay. Now it is a case of applying for the work permit and then probably going through the appeal's process. There we have it.

I mean i'm not unhappy that we have, I'm happy that Glass is getting his own players in, Gurr has played a full season in the USL Championship with the above graph showing that in his attacking style he was one of the best performers in the league. Glass obviously thinks he can do a job in this team, have trust in the manager, he wouldn't just sign a player if he didn't think it was going to help the team get to it's goals and ambitions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't capable of playing a full season as evident by his time at Rotherham. The only concern seems to be that Glass was very keen to get him. If he was 1st choice what's 2nd choice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
