I remember that, and I remember thinking it was spin to cover up his crap at the time. I could be wrong, but there was a definite stink about his attitude from the early daysQuote:

As I said, I could be wrong about it being spin, but theres a reason a lad with his talent is finding himself being linked with Serie C at this stage when hes been at Arsenal, Celtic and West HamQuote:

Probably just looking for anywhere that he'd be guaranteed 1st team football.Quote:

Just looking at Serie C and see Juventus have a reserve team in Serie C Group A. Surprised neither of the Milan teams have a reserve team since Serie C is regionalised.
He has signed for FC Zurich. They shared this video...

Is he the first Irish player in the Swiss Super League since Don Givens?
Connor Ronan did play in the first division with grasshoppers
Good move, has a great chance of playing regularly which he badly needs since he's 21 and has very few games under hits belt. Would rather Hefferman and Zeffi made a move similar to this than joining Newcastle and spending a few years playing youth football.
They are currently top of the Swiss Super League so I'm sure he won't walk into team but if he gets playing it could be an excellent move, certainly better than Serie C where he was linked
Got his first minutes in Switzerland today, in the cup, scored the third in a 0-3 win & played the 90. Think it was against a lower division club.
FC Tuggen, they play in the fourth tier.Quote:

But he has done nothing to convince us that he will thus far in his career
Goals are on YouTube. Okoflex's finish is at 2:20
Hard to tell what actually happens, the camera hasn't quite caught up with the play when he scores
If there was any off-colour serendipity to be had at all, surely FC Tuggen would play in the Wankdorf Stadium.Quote:

Thank for posting. Oko flex looks like the kinda guy (like so many of them) that England just doesn't suit any longer. The top two leagues are so cash rich that playing there is too competitive. Malcolm Gladwells book, David and goliath has all the mechanics of this down. Better to go to Europe and succeed in smaller ponds to rise.Quote:

I think Matthew Healy is another example. Did well at Cork City but probably would have struggled if he moved to League Two or One because of his style particularly. Nice passing midfielder but not the most physical and might need more time to develop that. Moved to Belgian second division and looked good for Ireland in recent round of 21s games. Jake O'Brien proved a good season at that level can be a springboard.Quote:

Goal for Okoflex yesterday, volleyed in from close range after a corner, at 0:49 below
Just came on against Shels in Tolka, forgot he played there tbh!
