I think Pim had a look at him a few times.

Is it also worth mentioning that Davidson's penalty was against a Kiwi keeper, Max Crocome? :lol:

I can only hope they are keeping him under wraps so he can be on the bench for the first team. Another option would be for him to go on loan to a Bundesliga 2 club for this season as opposed to sitting on the pine in Bundesliga 3 just so he can sit on the pine in the Bundesliga.

Adjin Hrustic (18) has joined FC Groningen (Netherlands) on trial from Schalke. Don't know whether they are looking at a loan or permanent move but the article talks of him looking at both the first and youth side which makes me think it is permanent. Also mentions he had offers from PSV and Ajax but thought his best chances were at Groningen.

He is most likely to play for Bosnia though.

Why are people worried about Kruse? It hasn't even been nine months since he ruptured his ACL and it may not be another year before he's in contention for the Bayer first team again. People just need to be a bit more patient FFS!

More impatient about not hearing the eventuation of the rumoured loan move with the transfer window closing soon.

The difference is he has been training fully since before the world cup... he has had a full preseason, played a couple of games in pre-season and hasn't featured since, they also have a new manager this season - who did not sign Kruse and we want him at 100% by January which he can't do if he doesn't play. Falcao recovered from the same injury in 6 months and already has a few goals this season...thats the difference. He didn't even get a run in the german cup game where they played a 4th division team. Some of us believe we can win the AC if we have Robbie firing.

SCS deserving a cap? Yeah I guess we're really light on centre backs and need fourth division journeymen to plug the gaps.

I've only watch a handful of QSL matches. The players all seemed to have solid technique and played at a pretty quick pace. Never really saw any 'midfield battles', end to end stuff, lots of space.

Bad news for Brillante as Fiorentina are close to signing shakthar's Brazilian DM Fernando and Montpellier CM/Utility Stambouli.

It would now take an absolute miricale for the kid to crack the first team.

Well that just put a spanna in the works. Rubbish news

Well Brillante has left a good impression on the coaching staff and fans who have been very suprised by his performances in pre-season, however it's tough when you play for a team challenging for the Scudetto.

La Viola's midfield is heavily stacked now if these transfers eventuate, which is a shame because this was an area I thought Josh would be given opportunity in.

Oh well...hopefully a loan to Serie B.

This guy is like 100% committed to Cyprus isn't he?

Plus a 1/2 fit Kruse is better then any of our other options.
