@Bd_irB_ll Doesn’t this go to show how he inherit problem with him? No major team wants him and he spoke badly about Man U saying it kept changing direction and when he made the National Team he thanked Villa n Barca, instead of Man U. The only offer he got is Turkey thoughts on decline?

This video from Landon Donovan on a podcast encapsulates it for me. It’s a pay to play system, arguably the best player on our history couldn’t have the funds to play back in the day
Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.
“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”
“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”
“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”
“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”
“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”
“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”
“That’s not a good system to create good players.”
@TegoSigel what does this mean for Rashford loan deal for Barca? To me it looks slim Rashford playing again for Barca as they keep trying to renegotiate a different deal than the 30m€ which if Gordon is this price, Rashford would be a bargain no?

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
