Anyone have any updates on Sainsbury's injury?

He tweeted something a couple weeks ago that it is coming along well. However it has been a fair while now, I'm really hoping he can get back on the park soon because he and Sprianovic should be our starting centre defenders at the World Cup IMO. And with Good injured, things aren't looking overly promising.

Get back on the park, lad. [-o<

This page has highlights from James Hollands match. Does well for the first goal (starts about 45 seconds in), is aware and initially leaves the ball for a teammate before getting it back sidestepping a player before passing it to the player who gets the assist. I think also in the highlight for the second goal but more just receives the ball and gives it back to a player that really starts the play for the goal.

You've been able to find anything on Sainsbury, moofa? Nothing has really been reported on him, but him in the World Cup squad is a must IMO.

Sano has to make it can play RB along with CB is now in a solid league and is well proven at A league level. PEC Zwolle made it to the cup final on the w/e so thats an extra match to add to the 5 already available. If Zwolle can hold onto the last Europa League play off spot he will also get an extra 3 games in the post season torno

Anyone ever watch the U21 Premier League. Didn't realise we had so many players in the comp a good dozen or so. Just wondering what the standard was like League 2, Conference I might guess? A couple of boys from Leicester City Calum Elder and Robert Paratore might see some EPL action next season through injuries or suspensions.

Buhler at Sion dismissed, banished Vidošić in U21

26.3.2014, 11:35 Uhr

If it crises for FC Sion, President Christian Constantin falls to human actions. This time it meets Arnaud Bühler, which dismisses the head of the Club, as well as Dario Vidosic, which must be in the U21. By SI.
According to the French-speaking daily newspaper "Le Nouvel list" Buhler (29) and defender midfielder Vidošić (26) for FC Sion and at its President Constantin retreated to the resentment for the last insufficient performance of the Club. The consequences for Buhler with the immediate release and for Vidošić the banishment in the young are glaringly obvious.

Buhler was already once fallen in disgrace a year ago and penalty been transferred into a "B group" before the Swiss last September when the last of the Super League again was rehabilitated. Constantin said: "I need to have any elements not involved and no desire. Buhler has shown not the commitment or the setting of a player, who wants a contract for next season."

Dario Vidosic is also covered by the measures of Sion president. "Dario has trained with less than 21 years to find out what will be his next team if he continues on its current growth," he told the newspaper Valais.

Come Vidosic under in St. Gallen?

The fallen into Ungade at FC Sion midfielder Dario Vidosic could switch to FC St. Gallen. The aspens have taken the 26-year-old Australians (with Croatian roots) to target. Currently has me exercising with the Sion U21 on this array of club president Christian Constantin and has no hope of competing applications in the first Team. His contract in Valais runs until 2016.

Apparently Vidsoic has been dropped to the U21s for the rest of the season. Here's a rough translation. Strange. I don't really understand what the situation is.

Here's another article:

According to an FC Sion Forum it seems like he has had some motivational problems in recent times. That's if I'm getting my head around the dodgy translation.

And it looks like St Gallen in Switzerland are looking at Vidosic:

Having a few players starting to stumble in the close lead up to Brazil: Kruse, Williams, Sainsbury, Good, McGowan and now Vidosic.

I know Sainsbury and Good should be fit for the WC, however whether they are selected or not depends on if they can get back into the first team fold at club level. Based on a recent article it seems as though Williams could be back playing by April, which is good news however it remains to be seen if he will be fit enough to play in a World Cup, and if he can muster up a few games for Boro. You'd still think he would be unlikely to make it to Brazil. And now it looks like McGowan and Vidosic have had fallings out with their respective managers.

Not the greatest thing in the World, seeing as though four of the above are central defenders... a position where we are already depleted enough.

Maybe move Milligan to CB and put somebody like Brattan next to Jedi?
