City in for another Mangotsfield United player

[The Hooded Claw]

Apparently, we’re after Miguel Freckleton, who would be following in the path of Jai Semenyo in joining us from Mangotsfield.

It's great to see Cardiff City competing for Man United's top players.

I know the name FGR were looking at him earlier this season, he is a product of the SGS setup ( I occasionally pop down to watch them as I do a few CPD's there, and its a evening out with a nice coffee machine onsite ) a few FL scouts pop down and watch them play, pretty sure he was on Bristol rovers books for a while

I'm lost, mate. Too many initials.

I've been impressed with what I've seen of Jai Semenyo, which admittedly isn't a lot.

I'm not impressed of what I haven't seen of him.

Too many TLA's in blue matts post for me to understand WTF he's on about 😄

My boys play for the JFC and the first thing I said to them was that they can say that they play for Man United.

The team are called The Mangoes by the locals.

That's interesting, old fruit.

TLDR IMO NQAT

Left footed centre back who used to play in midfield - i'm not surprised he's in demand if he's any good. With so many teams opting for 3 at the back these days left footed centre backs who can pass the ball are like gold dust at the moment.

Can’t believe it’s got an NCM onsite.

Is there much money in custard porn demonstrations these days?

[The Hooded Claw]

U2?

It's 'Even Better Than The Real Thing'.

Great to see the scouting role working

[Trigger]

Love these rumours until its apparent every club and Hull City are also apparently looking at him.

FGR = Forest Green Rovers ( the football team )

SGS = South Gloucestershire and Stroud College, they run a football ( and rugby ) program for aspiring players who still want to study, normally a BTEC Lv3 in sports, fairly well known around Bristol ( I know they have a few south welsh lads travel over to do the program, seen 1 or 2 with city training kit on, so mistakenly thought people might have known them )

CPD = Continuing Professional Development ( not the least unknown acronym in the word )

[Croesy Blue]

It might not be uncommon but it’s about context. No one is really expecting to see CPD in a football thread on a football messageboard

Maybe use a glossary next time

you knew what a CPD was though, yet still found time for a smart arse remark , well done

[Croesy Blue]

It wasn’t intended to be smart arse no need to be such a PLP (precious little princess). People are generally just trying to have a bit of a laugh with you I think.

so you knew what a CPD was then, and thought it funny to make a smart arse remark, well done

I hope you’ve never called anyone a snowflake.

Oh sorry I missed one

FL = Football League
