Rab a dab doo Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Any idea what position he plays i.e. defender, midfield or striker ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 That lad looks about 12. Whilst it's laudable to be investing in the future, we need to pay attention to the near term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Joins from Fulham, was playing for their U17s back in November. From a couple of videos on Instagram he may be a speedy left footed winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Welcome to DCFC as a side not it’s very annoying when folk say they will give or want 110% - it can’t be done it’s 100% or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can push yourself beyond previously thought limits, that doesn't mean you were giving anything less than 100% of your effort to reach the stage where you can start to build on it. Alternatively you can push yourself too far, take on too much before your body is ready for it and break down. If you're putting in everything you can safely & reasonably do so does that mean you weren't giving 100% of your effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentRam14 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I think this maybe one of the lads who played for the Under 18s the other week, it looked like he played up top with big Bart in the 2nd half and scored. There's a vid of the game somewhere on twitter. either Trialist B or Trialist C ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means you have achieved greater than what someone has expected of you, but you have given up to a maximum of 100% of effort to achieve those results. If you can fill 110, but only do 100 as expected, you would have only given 91%. I’m 100% with @Sparklewith this one! (I was going to put 110% originally for comic effect, but just couldn’t do it!)

May Contain Nuts Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 There's no reference point in his post. He doesn't actually say "I'm going to give it 110% of all the potential effort I could possibly put in", so it's open to interpretation. Maybe he only gave it 70% of effort at Fulham and is planning to give it 77% effort here! Therefore his statement that he's going to give it 110% would be entirely accurate if a bit unambitious. He needs to "give it 142%" equating to 99.4% of his total possible effort if he's really going to impress me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got absolutely nothing to do with achieving 100%, that's an expectation, or at best a guess, and not a quantifiable sum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
