  1. It's tough for a new coach to come to an already well established team (in terms of chemistry).  Hopefully he can get  good use of our entire roster in the friendlies coming up so he can come up with his take on strategy, etc.  Some coach's are set on their ways and won't adapt to their roster, like tudor who insisted on running a 3-5-2 type of system, and didn't snap out of it until he already had one foot out the door.

    cant believe Lucescu chased the money - welcome to modern football. goddamn. 

    He was offered 10x what he was making...that is just good business and logic...nothing to do with "modern football"...  and he knows that he'll never get another offer even close in his life.  Theres also reports that theres been friction with Lil Savvidi regarding transfers etc.  

  3. Him and his brother came to Boston in the 80's.  Achileas was a small time gangster who got run out of the city by the bigger sharks, and his brother stayed behind.  He is still here, is the spitting image of his brother, and can be found most nights of the week at the kafenio in Cambridge.  He's a painter. 

    I was there playing cards one night, and he walks in....when I say spitting image, I mean they could be twing....except the brother is huge.  much taller.  I saw him and looked at one of the guys and was like "Is that Beos from Bolos?" and they laughed and told me the story, lol.

  4. It is....and even from the few appearances we've seen of Swiderski, he also has good speed.  I know there used to be jokes about Biseswar being overweight but he's no slouch either...and for what he lacks in speed he more than makes up in IQ and vision.  Our midfielders are still up in the air.  Our midfield is the only real question mark right now.  I think our back line is solid as a rock.  

  5. Stoch?  I thought he was good.  He has speed, ball control and launches rockets....his temper was a  bit of an issue and the late nights out seemed to be a problem as well.  I think it's a good signing. 

    I think Stoch, Akpom, Lambrou and Pelkas are gonna be a lot to handle for most team.  All very fast, with good control....Stoch DOES tend to be a little selfish with the ball though.  We'll see.
