Another SFC player making it big after being cut by the club. Could that club be any more of a joke!

Re: OS Aussies talk.
So why do you think their club is a joke because a guy has after being cut gone onto play for a youth team of another club?Stuckey wrote:You do realise I've repeatedly asked you a direct question in another topic in this forum you're yet to answer.Black_Panther wrote:You do realise this guy is just a youth player at penarol?Stuckey wrote: Read more at http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/leag ... wIvFHK6.99

That's probably a sign of the strength of their youth development that these are the quality of players that they pass on.
Looking at the quality of Gersbach & Antonis to name a few they seem to be doing alright at bringing their own players through.

Re: OS Aussies talk.
I'm surprised that Gavin DiNiese doesn't get mentioned more for the National Teams.
Every time I read the Aussies Overseas on 442 he seems to be involved with the River Plate first team.

Re: OS Aussies talk.
Hes involved in their 3rd or 4th string team that plays in the 4th division team, not their first team!

Ok they certainly don't report it that way on 442!

Re: OS Aussies talk.
Anyone know what happened to Tom Rogic? I know he was injured - seemed injury prone but on his day could be very handy

Re: OS Aussies talk.
Luongo makes the top 10 list of players in Britain outside the EPL.
THE TOP 10
Personally I'm glad that he stayed at Swindon after the Asian Cup. I think he could have easily taken one of the first offers he got and be now just another young talented hopeful playing reserves for an EPL side. Obviously there are worse places to be but I think being an important part of a League One club is better experience.
ATM Swindon are looking very good for promotion to the Championship so things are looking very good for him and I feel he could do far worse then just deciding to stay put at Swindon for the time being.
THE TOP 10
http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/ma ... 72888673181. Matt Ritchie - Bournemouth
2. Grant Leadbitter - Middlesbrough
3. Calum Wilson - Bournemouth
4. Troy Deeney - Watford
5. Chris Martin - Derby County
6. Daryl Murphy - Ipswich Town
7. Dele Alli - MK Dons
8. Will Hughes - Derby County
9. Massimo Luongo - Swindon Town
10. Jordan Rhodes - Blackburn Rovers

The Celtic website doesn't give any mention of whether he's injured or back in training.

Re: OS Aussies talk.
Juric needs to get away from Celtic and move to Germany where he may have a better chance of playing regularly - too many overpaid players in front of him at Celtic (and too many injuries) and a Manager that wouldn't have a tactical bone in his body!

shhhhhh - Don't spoil his complete Barossa Pearl with an ounce of fact - although I think Rogic should move, like Mackay before him, just not good enough for the Scottish League

But I still believe Rojic would benefit from some time in German Football, possibly in Budesliga 2 or even 3.
It may be a step down from Celtic (?) but at least he may get some game time against some decent opposition.

But he needs to prove himself in a stronger competition - we know he can play A League.

At least if he comes back he and does well he'll probably be in line for more Socceroos call ups which will help.
IMO I think once he sorts out his injury issues, the J-League would be a good fit for him.

Re: OS Aussies talk.
That's why I suggest Germany.
He is a quality player whose move to Celtic has turned out badly for him.
His problems with injury have put him out of the managers sight and has lost his confidence.
German 2nd division would be a great place for him to get his confidence back and put his name out in Europe, something the A League can't do for him as easily.
He is a superbly talented player who has hit a brick wall in his career due to his injury problems and i would like to see him take a risk by moving to a country that appreciates his type of Football.

Re: OS Aussies talk.
http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/ ... gue-returnAustralia Under-23 midfielder Mustafa Amini has dismissed the option of a return to the A-League as scouts from Denmark and Belgium descend on Germany to watch his penultimate appearance for Borussia Dortmund II.
If he can get a gig in Belgium I think that would be better then returning to the HAL. IMO if the HAL season was longer it would probably be more of a lure. I think one or two decent injuries and you've probably missed half the season, that can be too much of a hole in a player's early career.
Re: OS Aussies talk.
I see Rogic was in the Celtic squad to play Aberdeen, didn't get off the bench, but great that he's back in the squad at least

WBA haven't offered Jason Davidson a new contract.
