We had nearly 2 years of Alexanderball before Sligo, so I dont think quite the same thing. But would be a horrendous start nonetheless.....

Same quality's as Ward biggest asset is passing it out to start things off hopefully will be better than Ward in the other departments.

Good luck to young Harry. He has seen an opportunity and is going for it. He deserves credit for taking a less standard path but one which offers benefits beyond football. As for his language skills, all he has to do is slow his speech down slightly. I had to do the same when I move to NZ.

I think that he’s going for the degree but on a soccer scholarship. My mate did a similar thing in the 80’s, went over to visit him and the majority of the team were either European or South American some of whom went on to play in the North American league so possibly he has both options in front of him. All the best to him but as said previously he’s going to have to learn to speak differently

So is he just away for his schooling and he'll be back with us? Or is he dropping out of professional football to follow in his father's footsteps?

Some of those saves make me think of Gunnar Neilsen's showreel with the way that he flaps at shots. Looks good with his feet though, so hopefully he'll turn out to be an asset.

His official height is 6-0. Presumaby then, Matty is 5-10.

He's right about some of the big college American Football teams averaging crowds of around 100k every week. It's quite incredible. If he's expecting a similarly large crowd for the Choctaws college soccer matches, he'll be disappointed with the 1 - 200 in attendance. Interesting opportunity though if he takes advantage of it.

Apparently 5cm (2 inches) taller than Matty.

I don't want to see.any of that at Fir Park. I want my goalie to be very sensible and level headed. Hugh Sproat was as flamboyant a keeper as I ever want to see at Fir Park.

Doesn't look much taller than wee Matt

My killie source confirms 6 figures, she's in total shock also....but ecstatic

To be fair, nobody at either club has ever said they want to sign any of them. It's just a daily procession of ex-players saying that they should/have to sign them because they are too dim to think they might want to play anywhere else.

I’m not complaining, but it’s Interesting that after all the hype about Rangers and Celtic wanting to sign Elliott, Just and Maswanise, they’re both prepared to dole out transfer fees on players from abroad of the level that was suggested they may need to pay us for these players. Not prepared to pay Scottish clubs proper transfer fees for their players but hoping they will jump at the first number THEY decide they WANT to pay. They don’t want other clubs to become financially independent and/or stronger. 😡

The original El Loco with his scorpion kick.

Is it a "confirmed by club" 6 figures or "some guy on twitter" six figures?

Aye £1,999.99 just about what he was worth anyway.

Rene Higuita was a master at that. He'd be worth a fortune these days with how teams play. Instead, he was seen as a novelty maniac back then when he was clearly ahead of his time. Saying that, he did get jailed for being part of a kidnapping fiasco involving Pablo Escobar, so maybe he was a maniac regardless. He could hit a tasty free kick as well...

Some very scary footwork in that Paulsen video. He does seem to enjoy dribbling the ball out of the box.

Thank God.

Oh there were a few clips in there. Did you watch all of the video? enough to scare me 😂

He'll need to work on that accent out there unless he likes saying everything twice.

Dom Thompson off to Belgian club for 6 figures!!, jeez!.....some bit of business for Killie

Word on the street is his name is Alex Paulsen 🤪🤪 Looks like a potentially good signing and hopefully Matty can mount a challenge also so we have healthy competition

The one around 5:12 tells me he'll fit right in.
