does anyone know whats happening with Troisi? They settled his co-ownership but since then nothing. There was rumours of him leaving Italy but even that has been silent for a few weeks. I cannot see him getting a place in Juve's side especially as they look at playing 5-3-2.

Here is a image from reddit showing Juve's 1st and 2nd choice lineups.

Celtic apparently trying to implement a philosophy at the cost of short term results
any ideas what philosophy it is?

In that video he makes 14 from 14 passes one clearance and 2 through balls that created chances with high speed good vision and accuracy

in all 3 games his passing has been around 90 percent or higher and he regularly completes difficult passes
his passing ability seems to rival bresciano at a very young age!
u fortunately his defensive contribution is non existe tat this stage so he needs a bit more time to develop before he is a serious contender I think

I am yet to see him make a mistake in passing as you typically see with a league players

Skip to 1h40m. Quality isn't amazing.

Kruse as Müller's successor?

R. Kruse
The FSV Mainz 05 is looking for a replacement for Nicolai Müller, who moved to Hamburger SV. As a serious candidate shall Leverkusen's Robbie Kruse. Bayer wants to give the Australians, who may have a hard time after a torn ACL and given the huge competition. The agile and running strong attacker would fit into the profile of the 05ers.

Is kicker a well known footballing site or a bleacher/roar type website where someone has gotten hold of some internet connection?

Brad Smith on a season long loan to Swindon.

Well known, pretty sure they're reliable but some of our German lads might be able to confirm. The only real non reliable German source I know of is Bild.

has the deal been done? i can only find talk. substantial talk, but not a done deal.

BBC Wiltshire @BBCWiltshire · 3h
FOOTBALL: We understand that @Official_STFC will complete season long loan signings for #LFC Brad Smith and #saintsfc Jordan Turnbull today

Should be close to being done then I guess.

Good, he can learn of Luongo who to get capped by!

Ryan with another clean sheet against Brondy. Draw tomorrow will be interesting. Brugge will be seeded so they have a chance of getting someone from Cyprus, Romania or many other unseeded teams
