🤞🤞🤞
last roll of the dice for any career in Europe

Defs prefer them over Xanthi

Come home son 

Unless he’s being promised first team football or at the very least a proper look-in by the manager, I’m failing to see any benefit to this move whatsoever.

True but its the lowest tier of the respectable leagues in Europe, so if he cant cut it there, then chances are he will never make it in Europe. After this, not many Euro clubs in a mid tier leagues will take a punt on a guy who they will see that could not cut it in Scotland, Netherlands or Denmark. Only other option would be League 1 after that point.

AGF have been consistently scouting the A-League for several years. That’s how they know so much about Baccus, Duncan, Gersbach etc. 

Their Chairman literally travels to Australia and attends A-League games.

If ANY club in Europe (except maybe Xanthi and Oldham) are going to rate Arzani highly enough to give him a fair chance, AGF is it.

If Arzani can’t make the grade at AGF then we truly know that the issue lies with him. 

Forget it. Come back to Aus, ALeague side would no doubt throw him straight in...he desperately needs senior games.

Serious question, has the bloke ever played a 90 minute game as a professional?

One advantage of this potential move over coming back to the A-League is that I imagine there aren’t any travel restrictions between Holland and Denmark, given most of Europe is a Covid infested cesspit at the moment. By contrast, just securing a commercial seat or charter back to Australia would be challenging and not guaranteed, and he’d have to quarantine. I hope a move comes off and he gets some time on the paddock!

He is a city asset, if they really wanted him to go to Aus so he can develop and they can on sell him they would charter a plane. Not like they couldnt afford it

Only a few. 1 or 2 for Mel City and few for Jong FC Utrecht 🙁

Thanks for the answer. 

Daniel's lack of 90 minute football is part of my reasoning for thinking knuckling down at Kewell's L2 club or lower would be a smart move.

‘Leads the chase’ 

say what? 

According to 'Transfermarkt', he has played 5 '90 minute games',- all in the '17/18' A-League season.

Yeah apparently Xanthi in Greek second division is also on the hunt for this warehoused CFG superstar... hahahah Whats next, maybe the Azerbaijani 3rd division?

Would be right next door to where he was born, to be fair.

🤣true... couldn't be that much worse than the Greek second division either...
What is this kids manager doing? 2 and half years ago he was in a world cup squad despite not doing much before or after (ok acl was bad luck) and now he is an asset CFG paid peanuts for loaning him out to farm leagues hoping he appreciates in value.... 

I really want to see him play, he's like a phantom, fuckin weird if you ask me.

All he needs to do is say he's a tennis player and he'll be back here before we know it.

His manager is Socceroo Vince Grella. Literally no one better. Who is to blame? Who the fuck knows!

Didnt know that, thanks. But point still remains that he looks to have made some pretty suss career choices.

Grella was a fantastic player but never sounded too bright. What player management successes has he had? Genuine question. 

Not sure tbh but just imagine him having a 10 year Serie A career helps.

He got a deal for DDS to go to Rome, but he hasn't really given the best advice.

well the DDS-Roma move was a disaster - judging off interviews Grella made when he was a player, he never really seemed to display the qualities that would make a good player manager. I tried to say that as nicely as I could.
