Kenny Dougall turning out to be an amazing signing for Blackpool.
They were sitting in relegation zone when he was signed, and have since won 6 of last 7 games

was wondering where he ended up, good news!

any word on Souttar?  I believe i heard he was isolating.  Also good to see Matt Millar a consistent starter.  Their form has turned a bit since he started playing.  getting closer to out of relegation.

Yeah out for two weeks self isolation as his partner tested positive for covid, hopefully he hasn't caught it.

Awesome to see King Kenny has impressed so much. We are definitely short of natural DMs in the national team.

Morris Pagniello, Aussie born Italian businessman and owner of Real Murica (Spain 3rd div) seems to be getting some bad press in Spain. From what I can tell there are allegations of match fixing, links to the Mafia and questions over the legitimacy of the Genova Soccer Academy.

What may interest people on here is the Genova Academy stuff as it is semi common to see Aussies in lower Spanish and Italian leagues to have gone through it. I can't find all the specific allegations but this and another article seem to indicate people think it is 1: dodgy for using a professional Italian club name but in Spain to cause confusion that they are linked, if they were in Italy the professional Genova club could probably get them closed. 2: it is a very expensive Academy which doesn't offer what a professional Academy would. In response to this Pagniello does argue Atletico has a lot of Academy players paying 60,000 euros a year to be there and he is providing a significant service especially to Aussie, NZ and Canadian players who find it extra hard to get chances in Europe.

Yeah he's been getting rave reviews. He's of the Championship level and did well at Barnsley. No wonder he's doing so well in League One. Furthermore he has been picked by Arnold and is definitely in the frame with Irvine being without a club.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here yet but Alex Robertson came on in the 66th minute for the Man City U23s in their 2-7 win against top-of-the-table Liverpool in Premier League 2 the other day: https://www.transfermarkt.com/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3445667

Got an assist for their 5th goal: https://twitter.com/markrobbo10/status/1332773151592353792?s=19

Borrello came on in the 64th minute. Fortuna were down to 10 men for most of the game and got pumped 5-0 by Bochum


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

Not a great weekend for us - 3 of our most promising young players - McGree, Hrustic & Arzani, no minutes again. 

Frankfurt being a club in top 5 league will really make Hrustic earn his spot. Ex Utrecht player Zwaanswijk said Arzani needs to be super fit before he gets regular senior mins/starts. Players like Kerk are his competition for minutes. McGree has done alright so far really. Nice to score goal already.

Frankfurt are at full fitness. I think Hrustic may see a winter loan coming. They got Younes right at the time Hrustic came while Barkok has featured a lot and done well. While training is an opportunity, it's just very competitive currently.

Arzani is at least getting youth starts during the week while the big bench makes it extra challenging in the Netherlands. It's going alright and he's fit and healthy. Could be better with some full games and scoring points but things appear lethargic amongst Covid in general. Many seem to be going through the motions. 

McGree has started and scored on this great stepping stone. The full games I watched showed he's certainly of the grade and the massive EFL campaign will provide plenty of matches. 



Good insights, agree.
