God I hope not. 

I liked those highlights. He definitely has room to  improve but a lot of the VPS attacked seem to go through him and gets free around the box a lot. 

I haven't seen any of the Finnish league before but the UEFA coefficient isn't great. If anyone knows more I'd love to know how strong the competition is. 

Yeah from the highlights it didn't look any better or worse than the a league. The good thing is he's scoring goals and setting them up as well

Round 1 will see Cadiz play Sociedad. Here's hoping Ryan and Mabil play. 

Victory need a LB

Valpato scores again, this time against France. Lost 4-1. Think he should at least get invited to play in the friendlies against NZ to see if he can cut it & to see where his head actually is. 

Yep. The kid has clearly got some talent and deserves a shot in a Friendly- along with G Kuol and Cummings possibly 🤞WTF has Arnold got to lose now really 

Harrison delbridge just doing his thing in Korea. His starting at 9:00 on optus sport 

Giancarlo Gallifuoco, Declan/Ryan Lambert playing in the AFC Cup in the last few days for Kuala Lumpur City. They drew their first game 0-0 against PSM of Indonesia seems a decent result away from home.
Jesse Curran also playing for Kaya FC as they lost 1-3 to Visakha of Cambodia.
Great to see Australia represented in a small way in the AFC Cup!

Nice to see Metcalfe starting vs Kiel. Iredale bench vs Verl. 

Muscat doing well in Japan as well. Only a matter of time until he moves back into Europe 

Has done exceptionally well in a very short space of time. If he can do the same in a short period of time in Europe he might surpass Ange one day. 

Metcalfe no 24

Iredale came on in the 60th in a 2-2 draw

70 minutes for Metcalfe. Couldn't be bothered watching the whole thing but there's a good moment at 56'. Shakes an opponent, hits a nice ball to the winger, could've resulted in a goal.

70 for Smith in the MLS.

It's always slightly tricky comparing leagues, but the Finnish league is clearly below the A League. The best teams in Finland could manage in A League but the rest are not near A League level. VPS is one of the smaller clubs, they've been doing surprisingly good this year and Yengi has been pretty well liked.
I would say that the Finnish league is in between the A League and the Kiwi league, slightly closer to A League. Significantly worse than the Swedish and Norwegian top tiers. 

Alex grant starting in Korea 

Deni Juric played second half in a practice match over night.
Wish we could get confirmation with whats going on with him.
Playing and training with Croatian internationals along with more games in the Europa league.

Iredale came on in the 65th for another match last night.
Paderborn play Ajax in a game on Saterday.
Hoping he gets more minutes and really kicks on this year and can make a push for the Asian cup squad

Had a lot of injury niggles this year.   Hopefully he can have a fit pre season and gets game time leading up to world cup

I didn't see Hrustic at the first team training today.
Maybe he is still on holidays.

German news is indicating Eintracht Frankfurt are releasing Hrustic.
But it seems FC Augsburg is interested in him.
That would explain why he wasn’t at training today.

AEK Athens is also interested in Hrustic I just read in the German Press.

Yeah that's more likely the reason with these reports. He should still be on holiday that bit longer anyway but it would appear the club and player are aware that suitors are circling.

Augsburg would be great. Please not the Greek League! 

Here’s a translated article from Liga Insider two days ago:

SGE sports director Markus Krösche confirmed to the Frankfurter Rundschau that Ajdin Hrustić is currently looking for a new club. It's about more playing time that the midfielder wants.


"He wants to play more, especially with the World Cup in mind. He told us that's why he's looking around. That's perfectly fine," says Krösche. According to the picture, the eagle carriers are said to have informed both the Australian and Gonçalo Paciência that they were no longer planned.

Should Hrustić, whose contract in the Main metropolis expires in the summer of 2023, find a new sporting home, the Hessians would then be active again on the transfer market in return, Krösche continued according to FR. However, Eintracht would first have to make a suitable offer for Hrustić.

Regarding the original report of June 26, 2022:
Clubs from home and abroad interested in Hrustić
For Ajdin Hrustić, it was another season that didn't yield a lot of playing time. It is already known that the Australian national player Eintracht Frankfurt can leave if there is a suitable offer. The first interested parties for a summer transfer are already there.

FC Augsburg is said to have put out feelers to Hrustić from the Bundesliga. At least that's what Sky reports, so talks are said to have already taken place. During the winter break, the Fuggerstadt team were already interested in loaning the player, but the move fell through.

But his skills should not have fallen on deaf ears abroad either: the Turkish record champions Galatasaray Istanbul and the Greek top club AEK Athens are also said to be in the draw.

Oh damn it he could of played champions league with them 

Juric came on the the second half this morning
Hasnt scored for a while

Which is the better move Augsburg or Galatasaray?

Interesting. I would say Augsburg, providing they stay up, which is no good thing. Gala has fallen a long way but I'd still rate them more likely to be safe from relegation. AEK would appear the safest of all 3 and could challenge for European spot. In summary, the stronger the league the lower down the table the likely finish for those respective clubs - on paper, anyway. And then there's the question of how much playing time he would get.
