Just been trying desperately to remember who one of the guys was that played regularly, had to search a load of countries to find him... Stephen Constantine; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Constantine. He was a moderator on the server I played on, not only was I the lead mod and could tell him what to do, but I was a better manager than him too - I've wasted my talent ? Tried to find a screenshot of the game, best I could find is my club badge (I was living in Alrewas at the time, hence the name). Pity it never took off, it was much more fun than the offline version that everyone knows now - the vast majority of people couldn't cope with losing or being able to reload the game after every defeat however ?

Football manager is the source of all knowledge I will hold my hand up and say I haven't watched a single game Mount play but I'm kinda excited by the possible signing. As with any player linked with us that I've not heard of I do a quick background check, whoscored stats, see what he's about, very rarely do I then venture on to YouTube, but his stats were very impressive, seriously impressive. So I checked the YouTubes and boy is he impressive in a show reel. Now I would usually be slightly reserved still, but with Lampard and Morris in charge, they will know all about Mount, this won't be a kid they have looked at the stats and watched him for a couple of games and not really know what to do with him. If they want him, they will know why and you would hope play in a system that they have identified a position for him. When you start reading up on him other things come out, player of the season at Vitesse, Frank Lampard is the player he looks up to and trying to emulate. Couple of months ago I wouldn't have a clue who he is, now I want him more than my missus. I also wanted Jacob Butterfield for what it's worth.

JG400 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Looks a great player , from the videos I have it also looks like we don't want any of the Vitesse strike force they couldn't hit a Cows rear end with a banjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gccrowdpleaser Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 There's an odd twitter account that seems in some way linked to Mount. Posted lots about him coming to Derby. Liked by Trevor Mount. He seemed to incorrectly post something about Ajax a couple of weeks ago. Can't work out if he has contact with Mount or he is a stalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
