QPR confirming a four year deal and the number 9 shirt for Dykes, although their manager said “I think he is going to go on to become a good international for Scotland.”

Folami coming on in the 59th minute of the second of two friendlies between Ipswich and Colchester.

Another player back in Ipswich colours following a loan spell, at Stevenage, the young Australian had a couple of bright moments after coming on as a substitute, including cutting inside to shoot over the bar late on.

Alberto del Grosso is doing a preseason with Calcio Lecco who is in Serie C. He left Cittadella (Serie B) where he was youth captain for most of last season. I can't find anything if he has signed or not so I am going to guess he is on trial.

Strange that he left. 

Premier league fixtures are out. Brighton start at home to Chelsea then go to Newcastle then host United.

October is also tricky with 3 away games to Everton, Palace and Spurs while hosting WBA. 

Sainsbury hasn't been named in the squad for the next game. Ease in. 

It's likely that all the paperwork hasn't been done yet, I'm not worried.

Highlight's from Deng's 1-3 away win at Gamba Osaka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37HTBwh7_4Q

Not sure what he was doing at 1:01, I guess he thought it was an opportunity to double team that player but got dummied with the one touch pass? His teammate certainly wasn't impressed.

How about that volley by the Gamba player at 4:03 though! Deng was the only one to read that it was on and tried to intercept, but nothing was stopping that.

Arzani not in squad for Utrecht friendly vs. Heerenveen. 

Not a great sign there!!! Surely he's not injured?!!!

That strange 14 minute spell worried me last week but I got lectured about it being squad rotations and pre-season. 

"an unnamed Australian import with A-League experience is set to be unveiled imminently as Kewell’s eighth signing since taking charge earlier this month." https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/kewell-can-take-us-all-the-way-up-to-championship-says-oldham-boss?cid=football:socialshare:twitter

Could it be aiden oneil. Had a brief spell there a couple years back so knows the club

I feel League Two may be considered a bit low for O'Neil's ambitions at this time. Certainly could be just to get the England return. So it's an Aussie from the A-League at League Two level. Hingert? Gallifuoco? Elsey? 

It could also be an young talent as well, there is a few young players are getting opportunities in League 2.

Arzani not even on the bench in FC Utrecht's recent friendly match, hopefully they just easing him in.

Exactly that. I do find it interesting though how he was subbed on around on 31 and taken off at HT when they did a big rotation.

Should be. Nothing floating around online.

Sainsbury has now been included in tonight's squad after receiving a negative Covid test result. Doubt he'll start yet but may throw him on to consolidate a lead. I really wonder if this manager may have seen his Zürich days and give him an occasional midfield role. 

Rose played a full match for Vancouver. 3-0 loss.

Doesn't look like Duncan or Gersbach got any minutes in a friendly. Duncan might still be unfit.

Sainsbury on bench. Seems he's got squad number 5.

Degenek starting in Serbia, Red Star on a run of five competitive wins in a row this season, conceding twice.

Make that six wins. Full game for Degenek, as far as I can see.

Kortrijk with a back 3 today so that should increase Sainsbury's chance of minutes.

I find it concerning. I admit to being over-sensitive to players fitness when they are returning from ACL injuries though and do tend to jump at shadows. 

Dykes just scored for QPR in a friendly against Wimbledon 

Folami on bench vs Spurs. 

I'm a bit concerned there's been no coverage of his progress but no news is also good news. 

Rogic not in squad. He's fit isn't he? This certainly points into the direction of leaving. If Lennon wanted to keep him, he'd have included him today. 

Dream debut for Dykes at QPR with a goal, an assist, and involvement in setting up the own goal in a 3-0 friendly win over Wimbledon. Started and came off when they made a near full change at about the hour mark.
