A couple of good moments from Teague here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuZo65YJerc


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

That's a quality pass!! A giant CB who can slot through balls like that, I think the Socceroos are onto a winner there.

Great that they got the draw despite the 60th minute red card.

My app (fotmob) gave him a rating of 7.5, the second highest for the team.

Probably the understatement of the century.

I know Mabil is in the CL and Ryan is playing for a bottom half PL club.

Souttar is arguably Australia's best player at the moment imo.

Sofascore have him as the third best player in the Championship this season, he's just turned 22 and is a 6"6 CB.

He we will be bought for 15m+ by a premier league club this time next year if he continues like this.


Look at what Leeds bid for Ben White, Rondon just moved to Tottenham, Godfrey to Everton etc.

Half decent young CB's, even in the championship are worth an absolute fortune. Especially a 6"6 one that is good on the ball and plays his best football center of a back 3.

Mabil is playing champions league football over someone that is doing well in the Championships, slow down and show some perspective.
Souttar is showing he’s got great potential but it’s Stoke City in the Championship and there is many good players at that level too, also celebrating a player that isn’t from Australia as well doesn’t bode me well either when others deserve better attention.

Let us have this one, even if the excitement might be a bit premature - it's been a very long time since we've had a young player actually start to live up their hype, so it's easy to get carried away when someone finally starts to prove their worth.

He isn't from our system from here and overall makes me feel like like we are an inferior football nation when we get excited by players that are not from here, my opinion though.

Cool story.

They also just got annihilated at home. He's not playing for Bayern Munich, he's playing for a side that got into the back door of the CL and whom are very likely going to finish bottom of the group.

The Danish league is no better than the Championship in reality, I'd argue it's probably weaker on average across the board.

The fact that Midtylland's owner is also the owner of Brentford (his main project) and prioritises the London side over the Danish side is also pretty telling.

As for Souttar - as I said, he's more than doing well, he's the third highest ranked player in the entire division by more than 1 website.

Here's some central defenders whom have recently competed in the Championship:

Ben White (23 - Leeds) - Brighton knocked back a £30m offer from Leeds after his season on loan in the championship last year. The year prior he spent at L1 Peterborough and L2 Newport (Sound familiar?)

Joe Rodon (23 - Swansea) - Moved to Tottenham for £12m after his 2019 seasons in the championship for Swansea

Ben Godfrey (22 - Norwich) - Moved to Everton for £25m after yoyo-ing from the Championship to PL with Norwich

White is the only one of those 3 that had this sort of form for a sustained period in the championship. The last CB to average what Souttar is currently across a full season in the championship is current Brighton captain and English international Lewis Dunk.

You are underestimating this sort of form and how competitive this league is.

 Aaron Mooy as an example  was ranked inside the top 80 in Huddersfields 16/17 campaign and there were dozens of people on here waxing lyrical about him. Luongo, Irvine and Wright have never been higher than the top 200. Mooy was probably Australia's star player, even at Huddersfield in 16/17'. All three of them are Socceroo regulars.

Birmingham fans are already ripping into McGree…. it's not an easy league.


I couldn't care less where he was born, we have lost plenty of Australian players over the years to other countries for that to be thrown out the window.


Trust me, as a Leeds fan, I've watched the Championship week in week out for a few years now. If you are considered anywhere close to a top 10 player in the league, you are a legitimate PL quality player, or a top 5 European league caliber player. We don't exactly have them fall out of trees at the moment and despite all the whining by some on here regarding how hard done by the likes of Milligan and Sainsbury were, both of them shot blanks in Europe for the most part.

The test will be for Souttar to replicate it the form across a whole season.
