Eleven Posted January 28, 2020 Report Posted January 28, 2020 Anyway. The main topic. Relegation. It's interesting--wouldn't a Buffalonian love to see the Bisons in the majors? But NA sports aren't set up that way. Quote

His wiki page indicates that he is with the senior team. This 18 year old Curtis Jones guy that you used as an example, is a good example. He has played 13 games with the academy team this season and has also spent time with the premier league club, or is still there now. Quote

Not according to these... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Jones_(footballer) -- shows 0 academy games https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=111601 -- only one academy preseason game https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/matches/_/id/190257/team/16728 -- 0 academy games (click the dropdown for U21) https://fbref.com/en/players/4fb9c88f/Curtis-Jones -- 0 academy games First, let's not sidetrack this any further. There's a soccer thread in the Clubs section and I'm happy to discuss there. For the purpose of discussion that actually is relevant to this thread, it remains that there is no traditional NA-style farm system in soccer, as far as I'm concerned. Second, it's time for you to show where you're getting your info from. Again, in the soccer thread, please. Edited January 29, 2020 by Eleven Quote

Your thoughts, please. The Sabres would be in the American league for quite a few seasons now! Quote
PerreaultForever Posted January 29, 2020 Report Posted January 29, 2020 When you hit the bottom of the relegation group do you get replaced by Latvia? Quote
