Not surprising really, they have brought in a few similar aged strikers the last few seasons and Jóhannsson and Gudmundsson seems to be their first choice. I could see him having a similar season to Kruse's first season as that is seemingly what Jóhannsson had.

Geez, that second Bozanic goal was a good finish. Squeezed that one in.

Looked like Leckies shot was heading towards the corner flag before the deflection!!!

Austria Wien play their champions league 3rd qualifying round 1st leg tonight, hopefully they can at least make it through this round so they are guaranteed to make the Europa league group stages at minimum, it is good they have kept Hosiner up to now.

Does anyone know what happened to Million Butthiire??

I thought that guy was supposedly a future star?

Panos gets off to a great start in the Milk Cup http://osaussies.com/aussie-hornet-stings-county/

Holland was a sub for the whole game, I am guessing because they were looking for goals. Since they Will be underdogs in all group games I am guessing he will play there but still I am not liking this new manager

'Where in the world is' Matthew Spiranovic? Seems he's still at Al-Arabi, BUT, he was training with Victory not long ago and perhaps seeking a move as his club was in financial trouble? He only has a season left on his present club deal anyway - so they could let him go?

People speculated a move to Victory at the time, but that was firmly denied. So he MUST have options overseas? Hopefully GOOD options!

Was thinking the same thing today.
It really shits me that someone so talented can be screwing around with their career so recklessly like this.

Langerak is in line to play the first two games of the season

Nice, hope Mitch plays well. Guy has had limited chances, Weidenfeller is a quality keeper.

lol jeez... Can't put much blame on him for this one. Plenty of Brugge supporters giving him MOTM.

The club haven't done their English version (so lots of it is Google translated from dutch) of their match report but I have gotten a few things about the game Ryan played this morning. Also some good news is that Kujovic (their main GK last season) was on the bench this game, was returning from injury though so may not have been fully fit but still it shows confidence in Ryan

Highlights, a chipped goal which always makes Ryan look kinda short but it was an open 1v1. does pretty bad on a shot at about the 4 minute mark that looks like going wide which he fails to grab and I think deflects it slightly closer to goal

he was one of 3 players selected for reaction interviews, here is his:

Ryans mentions from their match report

http://clubbrugge.be/nl/nieuws/16509/matchverslag-slask-wroclaw-club



on a polish report it was suggested Ryan dealt with a 1v1 earlier in the game but it might have been a miss translation as it was not in the highlights

it seems Mainz are looking at getting rid of Ruka. From what I have seen it is just that he does not fit their system.

Here is a quote but I think the second line is a bit of a bad translation and should say they will not put any obstacles in their way

Hasn't been looking good for Ruka for a while now and without a good preseason he won't be having any impact unfortunately.

Ruka should move back to The Netherlands. He would get regular time

+1 or belgium

Would much prefer Ruka back in purple! I think his ball control will always make life tough for him in faster leagues.

These highlights of ryans game are more comprehensive and show more of his good work:

German Cup games - Langerak starting, Kruse on the bench.

Williams (captain) starting for Boro

Love to know how they go

I am guessing German cup is not on fox/espn

We'll all be watching with keen interest how Kruse goes at his new, bigger, club. His was becoming a star at his former club and a regular, key, player at the very least. Let's hope he can break through at Leverkusen fairly quickly and he's NOT seeing this season WASTED as he's relegated to being an 'impact sub' at the very most.

IF that's the case then they may aswell loan him out, even back to his old club!

One of our NT's leading players, it's crucial he sees regular game time this season!
