Ikonomidis is now training with Lazio's first team.

Vidmar turns everything to shit doesn't he? :lol:

Looked horrible at the Asian cup but training with Lazio's first team and apparently not to far off a Serie A debut? Somethings up with Vidmar.

Can't find anything on Babalj other than some cheap dodgy website that said 'late January'. Take that with a grain of salt. He'll be brought back slowly into the reserves like Sarota

absolute bullshit

:lol: :lol: :lol:

He's very highly rated at Lazio. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

Yeboah started and scored for Borussia Mönchengladbach II in a friendly, maybe an outside chance to get a some gametime for the first team if he keeps scoring.

Giannou scored this morning in a cup game against a 2nd tier team. Currently the 77th minute, he scored in the 17th

I hope Ange has a look at this guy and I have a feeling he will.

Proto's best goalkeeper Silvio Proto moment later was elected Goalkeeper of the Year.
The final piece of Anderlecht, who had a large share in the land title of Brussels, took it for Sammy Bossut (Zulte Waregem) and Matt Ryan (Club Brugge). Proto received the trophy from former goalkeepers Michel Preud'homme and Jean-Marie Pfaff

The defender replaces Jeroen Veldmate, suspended for his red card against FC Twente. Dorda comes as left to play, Jason Davidson moves to the center of defense.

Brad Smith

Another frail position for Liverpool of late is on the opposite side of defence: the problematic left-back spot.

With Jose Enrique and Jon Flanagan currently out injured, lacklustre French loanee Aly Cissokho has been deployed by Rodgers as the only fit senior left-back available.

This should provide youngster Brad Smith an opportunity to impress against Bournemouth.

Another victim of long-term injury, Australian-born Smith has worked hard to return to the U21s fold, and his eye-catching performances led to a call-up to the senior squad earlier this season.

Unfortunately, Smith’s debut came at an unflattering juncture, deployed on the left wing as Chelsea closed out a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge in December.

As with Kelly, the supposedly lesser opposition should prove to be another confidence building exercise for Smith.

A balance of defensive solidity and attacking pace, can Brad Smith prove himself a true Rodgers-style full-back

Spurs: Friedel; Naughton (A McQueen, 75), Kaboul (Gallifuoco, 60), Vertonghen (Stewart, 60), Fryers; Capoue, Paulinho (Ward, 60), Sandro (Veljkovic, 46); Holtby (Couleybaly, 75), Kane, Sigurdsson.

I think that since he requested a full list he would have spotted him, Giannou is doing well, we don't have many strikers and if Ange wants to be able to put a trip to his country of birth as part of work he will go and see him.


Highlights:
[youtube]watch?v=BwJUYmH494o[/youtube]

times when he is involved in case you don't want to watch the rest f the highlights (there are only a couple where he is not involved):
- 0:00 Misses a volley at the start from a free kick, coming across him but should have done better.
- 0:10 Goal he is smart playing the whistle, also a nice finish.
- 1:04 I think it is him (commentator sounds like he says Giannou), long ball which he is able to get past the defender and get the shot off but saved pretty easily
- 1:13 2nd goal he gets the assist, an ok pass past some players but not really threatening, more a great finish from his teammate. - 2:13 he collects the ball in the corner and plays a nice pass to a teammate who then makes the pass for the chance which is missed. He seems to be out of the centre quite a bit which can be good in he gets involved in the play but if we are putting a lot of crosses in he might not always be there, could work well with Cahill running up from midfield though.
- 2:58 3rd goal. Holds off the defender well and in the end leaves well for his teammate who finishes it off nicely

Why on Earth would they call themselves that?
