DaMa said...: i am (obviously) hugely surprised. happy to say i got this totally wrong. now the question is... can we somehow force ajax to play him on the left. Anyone know Jeff Gillooly's number?; October 28, 2019 at 1:35 PM
Greg Seltzer said...: There's no way he supplants Tagliafico, but perhaps when he needs a rest or is out for some reason.; October 28, 2019 at 1:54 PM
DaMa said...: For sure. Barring a WWE-style cueing up of Jeff Gilooly's music, not happening.; October 28, 2019 at 2:45 PM
Erik said...: Greg. what was your expectation regarding his decision?; October 28, 2019 at 3:25 PM
Greg Seltzer said...: I was about 70/30 figuring he'd stick with us.; October 28, 2019 at 3:34 PM
DaMa said...: I wonder what the deciding factor was. Any insights? Player relationships? Path to minutes? Gratitude for investment?; October 28, 2019 at 4:58 PM
ZackL said...: Very, very happy to have been wrong about this.; October 28, 2019 at 11:37 PM
Dr.Jon said...: @DaMa he said it was his relationship with the youth program who believed in his talent and gave him the opportunity, mainly.; October 29, 2019 at 8:16 AM
DaMa said...: Thanks doctor j.; October 29, 2019 at 1:33 PM
