You are mistaken. He's there number 9 or 10 for Celtic.

Russia vs the Czecks will be good, some actual star quality players in these teams too.

"His inability to regularly score goals meant that with Hooper & Samaras being preferred strikers, Samaras had to remould his game. Manager Neil Lennon moved his role to more of a winger on the left wing."

Either way sounds like he has been playing poorly for the last couple of seasons and isn't as good as he was a few years back.

I'm ashamed to admit I actually watch the SPL (inb4 Ralbin owns me), when he does get put on the wing he does a Rooney type role. Drops in the center and runs into the box for headers and such, no difference from his striking role tbh. Celtic dominate most games in SPL so there's no need for him to stay on the wing.

He's a flop, he was good a couple of seasons ago.

I remember him being horrible at Man City a few years back.

I wouldn't dare watch SPL besides Celtic vs Rangers or an occasional odd Rangers game because they have 3 Americans.

but yea, Samaras has gone to shit. He used to be solid

Edu plays for Rangers right? I remember him being labelled as a profit in America as the next big thing lmao.

 

[seabs]

Is DeMarcus Beasley still at Rangers? Haven't followed the SPL ever tbh.

I think you are mixing Edu and Freddy Adu. But yea, Edu does play for Rangers.

 

[Crayo]

Might be, where is Adu now?

So hard going from BBC to ITV, ITV = tons of adverts, BBC = none .

Beasley is in the Mexican League now. Rangers has Bocanegra, Edu, and Bedoya from the US.

Never thought I'd see Viera and keane work together.

Adu has been all over. Started in MLS, went to Benfica, went on loan to like 5 different clubs, and is back in the MLS now.

He catches a lot of flack because he's been a bust compared to the expectations, but he is still a good young player IMO. I'm disappointed he isn't on the USMNT roster for WCQ.

Yeah the first time I heard of him was when I read in the newspaper that he's going to be the best ever player, lmao.

It'll end in a fight hopefully. Adu was on trial at UTD a few years back wasn't he?

Don't know, I don't think so? If so then I'm not talking about the same player as you are then :S.
