"He reads the game very well, is very
gifted with both feet, has a strong, physical work rate. You can use him
as a forward, as an attacking midfielder, as a left or right midfielder -
he's very comfortable anywhere. I think he's going to be one of the rare
Americans who can play very effectively as an attacking center
midfielder."
-- US Under-17 Coach John Ellinger On
Bobby Convey
"Of course, I'm going to get pushed
around a little bit but I think I can ride tackles better than I could
before, so I think I'll be fine."
-- Bobby Convey On his size
"He's ready - I'll give him that
much. He's a very mature young man. A lot of people joke that he's 16
years old going on 25."
-- Bobby Convey's dad
"When he's on the field we definitely
see him as a teammate. He's someone who when he is on the field he can
play, and maybe that surprises some guys that he can compete and
contribute on this level. I sort of remember what is what like to be 16,
and there will be some maturation process that he has to go through, but
he's a good, smart kid and this should really help him out in the
end."

adjustment to professional soccer
