sanchez - 14 Sep 2018 5:54 PM
Anyone watch the full interview introducing Toivenen the other day (yesterday?), it was mentioned that since like 6 months ago we have started investing more in our recruitment department and that our current crop of international recruits are a result of this. Anyone know what that's all about? The reporter (was either Davutovic or Lynch) asked Muscat about it and it sounded as if it was old news to all involved 

Hmm intresting.  Might of been trimmers asking for more help

Will wait for the DJ Brox remix.

Seriously though good on Rashid for doing something creative. (The Brox collab would be sick though).

Talent.

Paladisious you gotta calm down. Was as simple question that seemed to hit a nerve. Good to see Victory giving NPL players a chance. Makes sense to look at a 22 year old with a big upside potentially

No nerve hit here whatsoever, I think you might have misread the intent of my post. I was totally open to either or both being wrong and did some googling to find some answers and shared it here. (I do totally stand by my opinion of Australian football media, however. David Squires notwithstanding, of course.)

As a Victory fan I'm happy either way as long as he's good at football and will serve my team in his time here if we sign him, but of course it'd be a bit nicer if he was younger and had more years of football ahead of him.

His transfermarkt page says 31: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/elvis-kamsoba/profil/spieler/607269
Promoting a 22 year old NPL stand out makes far more sense! 

He's definitely 22 just read an article about him by Daily Football Show.

This article from the Adelaide Advertiser from June 2015 cites him as 18 years old at the time.

This article from The Corner Flag (RIP) from March 2017 has him at 20, although the tense of the relevant sentence is ambiguous. This article from the same site in April of the same year also cited 20 years of age.

This article from The Daily Football show from July 2018 has him as 21 years old.

Is it possible that the reputable database Transfermarkt is wrong about one player of African origin's age and three corroborative sources are correct? Yes.

Does the quality of the near entirety of Australian football journalism run the gamut from bumbling incompetence to Byzantine paranoia? Also yes.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Avondale winger Elvis Kamsoba is set to trial with the club - source

If his individual form carries over from his club's form then he'll be a great acquisition at his age, I assume under the senior rookie salary cap rule.

Panagiotis Armenakas...... could this be Melbourne Victory’s next signing?! A winger who is desperate now to get some more first team action and raise his profile! Has Twitter’d that he is leaving Udinese also!! Still prefer IKonomidis!! Any news??

"Greek Super League side Panathinaikos is reportedly interested in signing Christopher Ikonomidis and Panos Armenakas from Serie A sides Lazio and Udinese, respectively."

However, have been a fan of his for a while so would take him at Victory for sure
