yes, overall from where he was at the start of the season, he had a good seasons

thanks for info teknim

fuck, fuck fuck..i can't believe Sydney FC offer didn't him $120k for Gersbach???...the fucking mim is $60K

I think Gersbach probably wanted to go. Norway would be an interesting place to live, and an excellent chance to develop for a couple of years in a better shop window for Europe.

=d> =d>

Brad Smith getting a bit of sympathy on Twitter. The odd one or two posts are saying his shite but they are few and far between. They seem like heavy gamblers too.

shop window ....all shopping on the internet now :lol:

it not that much money in Norway...glass of beer would cost him $15 aud

Troisi is the most underrated player we have imo. He might not be the flashiest but you give him the game time and he always puts runs on the board. Would be awesome to see him look past the $ and just test himself at the highest possible level. Will be 29 and in his prime for Russia. I love Leckie but seriously if Troisi had the same opportunities he has had in the Bundesliga their is just no way he would only have 2 goals and zero assists for the season. He wouldn't have leckies defensive stats either of course but a LW or RW's job should be more about attack especially in a 4-3-3 set up.

I hope he's not drinking too much beer, bloke needs to concentrate on his football :D

In regards to what you're saying I reckon if Sydney matched what Rosenborg were prepared to pay he still would have left. It's a good opportunity.

that's good
hopefully its not the "poor kid will never play again" sort of sympathy

fingers crossed he gets more chances because he looks very promising. But a bad game for a big club when you aren't yet established can be hard to bounce back from

A shame Smith had a shocker, given the limited opportunities he has got its the last thing he needs if he wants to become part of the squad.

Still not too sure where you got the "blown his chance and is going nowhere" nonsense from... was simply suggesting he had a bad night and unfortunately may have blown his chance in further impressing Klopp. Obviously I realise Klopp sees something in him,. but I'm not too sure whether Klopp sees enough in him and may feel the need to move him on. There are strong links with Klopp looking at Jonas Hector who ironically played against the Socceroos last year, Smith could potentially be 3rd or 4th in line at Left back come next year.

Which Aussies Abroad could we see come 'home' at the seasons end

15..? More like 5

Last time I had a look. Norway had the highest GDP per capita in the world.

Guess which country had the second highest? Australia!

So it might be marginally more expensive in Norway. But it's not much worse/better than Australia.

You must be talking about the human development index in which Norway is 1st and Australia 2nd

Australia is no where near 2nd highest gdp per capita, (a VERY long way off) we're barely top 10/15. Norway isn't even top 2, thats Qatar/Luxembourg.

PS. If you are talking about cost of living Norway is a LOT (a LOT) more expensive than Australia. A big mac from Norway is overvalued by 5.8% and undervalued in Australia by 24.1%. Thats almost 30% difference.

I'm having another look. I might well be wrong. If memory serves, you're right about human development index.

What I did find from personal experience was that Norway was the most expensive country I've been in. I found Sweden and Australia came not far off.

Cities like London, Paris and Rome were absurdly expensive, but this wasn't consistent outside the capitals.

I've never been to Qatar or Luxembourg, however.

Switzerland is the worst.

You are correct, The Fans.

I stand corrected.

I found Oslo to be more expensive than Melbourne, but not drastically so.

I cooked my own food and found that a steak there would be maybe a couple of dollars more expensive than in Melbourne.

I paid the same for entry at nightclubs and drinks at nightclubs that I used to pay when I'd go out in Melbourne.

Basically, I found Sweden and Australia to be about the same cost-wise. Norway was the next step up.

like sydney vs melbourne - and it completely depends on where you are. not many tourists get into the suburbs to buy their beer and steak.

I might be out of the loop, as the last time I was in Sydney was 10 yrs ago, but I found prices to be pretty similar

This is true and we must always be mindful of it.

I'll expand on that and say what renders Scandinavian countries and Australia more expensive than lots of other parts of the world is just this.

You see, the tourist spots in cities like London, Paris and Rome are very expensive. Geared towards tourists. They're much more expensive than the outer suburbs.

But with Australia and Scandinavian countries... even though the more urban parts are more expansive than places on the outskirts, these places are fairly consistently expensive. I found at least.

For that reason, the overall cost of living in places like Scandinavia and Australia tends to me more expensive than various other parts of the world, even in Europe and North America.

Sadly at this rate I wouldn't object to seeing Langerak or Kruse go to an ACL team. Still, I'd want them 99% in Europe and playing.

Maybe Yeboah will come back. Burgess, Brilliante, Halloran?

Mabil came on in the 90th minute for midgetland.

Alves in a 0-2 loss at home for Valencia so hopefully he was shit.

Langerak on bench. Massive relegation dogfight against Bremen. The loser could well go down.

in the supermarket maybe, Gersbach not a Latvian working as builder in norway who going to buy the beer and go drink in the park :lol:

Stuttgart getting killed 5:2. Tyton hasn't exactly been at fault but it'd be interesting to see Langerak against those shots. Defence all over the place.

Make it six. Rubbish from Stuttgart.

Hahahhahaha, adrtho. After



this is the best imagery you've managed to evoke.

You're becoming quite the vignette-artist. Keep it up.

2:1 Tottenham lead Chelsea. Draw will give Leicester the title. How exciting to have two Aussies involved at the club.

2:2 84min. Hazard you nutter. Worst season with a great goal.
