Akira Fitzgerald Signed
- Thread starter Gene

That's probably the case and I guess the question is now who will be first choice between Saunders/Meara. Its been a bit unclear about the former since the beginning mainly due to age. Nobody had really been talking about a third goalkeeper (and there was no way there wouldn't be 3) might have expected someone a bit younger but anyhow its not a major position. Unless of course something happens to the first 2...
Since we were apparently willing to offer 300k in allocation money for Meara, I would assume they value him as the current starter.
Listed at 5'11. Looks like we have a future jon Busch on our hands
He is 5'9" at best -- but a super exciting keeper. My fav keeper in NASL.
Wow, I can say I am the height of a professional goalkeeper? My god....its a christmas miracle charlie brown!
We probably want him to be playing football, but have the option to recall him if we have some goalkeeping injuries.

this is what i'm curious about. i was under the impression he was much younger.
Meara the Irish American and Akira the Irish Ninja.
He's a keeper. Goalkeepers have longer life-expectancy (career-wise) than outfield players and their development is slower. While an outfield player probably reaches their peak at around age 29-30 and is considered to be in decline by 32-33, a goalkeeper doesn't really hit his maximum until 32-34, and can keep playing at the top level for a few years after that. A 27-year old keeper is only about as developed as a 24-year old in another position.
I hear soccer/football Internet forum posters hit their peak after 40. I still haven't reached my peak yet.
Depends on the time zone I heard. If you're on Greenwich Mean Time I believe you can reach your forum poster peak as early as a toddler.
I am positive that many here believe that.Depends on the time zone I heard. If you're on Greenwich Mean Time I believe you can reach your forum poster peak as early as a toddler.
