Leyton orient would give COYBIG a game

That's a very insightful post. COYBIG stands for Come on you boys in Green - its not a team or a country. I am not overly familiar with Leyton Orient, perhaps you could tell us all a bit about them and why they would compete with an international team.

That'll go down well in Uruguay and Argentina as well as a few other countries.

Young lad Ferguson came on at centre forward for Brighton the other night against Arsenal, looked lively and scored a good goal. Does anyone know much about him, how is he doing with the under age teams? Could he be a decent centre forward in the making?

He has a lot of potential so fingers crossed but then it wasnt that long ago we had 4 young strikers breaking into premiership teams (Parrot, Connolly, Obafemi and Idah) and scoring some goals, unfortunately the lot of them seem to have all gone backwards.

It seems to happen a lot with Irish players. Are they never as good as the hype, or does the whiff of having made it go to their heads?

I think the thing with Ferguson is all the family and inner circle are meant to be good for keeping his feet on the ground.
Ferguson is also a bit of a monster and seems to be able to use it. Idah never seems to realise he is actually a big man.

I think certainly some of them do believe in their own hype. Ferguson played for Bohs first team when he was only 14 so there is more hype about him but they can only be really judged after a couple of seasons playing first team football. Certainly not after a handful of appearances. Troy Parrott was hyped up as the next Harry Kane but hasn't delivered on the early promise. Connolly is full of endeavour but limited in ability while Idah is a useful player but will never score enough goals to be top level.
