Bouzanis playing at Wembley in Papa John's Trophy final. 1:1 currently. He conceded a very nice shot. Great occasion for him and his club Sutton.

I really dont think players should leave before around 50 games

That's my thought too if your 17-18 you need 50ish games, if your 22-23 you need to be dominating the league. Excited to see where Rawlins ends up in Holland by 20 he could be a real prospect.

He probably just isnt very good. Tearing it up in the A league unfortunately doenst count for much. If you cant compete in a weak European league you probably just lack talent.

I predict he will retire before he comes to A league. I reckon he will give it all away around 25-26

he was tearing up norway when their best club was a regular in europe. They were expecting a big cash haul from him. His form dipped, he fell out of favour and he never returned

could be depression for all we know. Don't underestimate the difficulty of living overseas. Not everyone can do it and perform at their best

Absolut. Mental health is super important for all elite athletes. In fact despite the AL being a lower standard than many Euro leagues, it shouldn’t surprise anyone when ‘failed in Europe’ Aussies return to AL and perform much better cos the difficulties of living abroad gets removed cos players then have more support from family and friends again. Younger Aussies in Europe like Gersbach might be single and feel very unsupported and isolated which affects his performances

Dont buy it. He's been overseas for six years now so if he was homesick and lonely he'd have returned home by now. The most likely explanation is he's just isn't very good and probably just another over hyped A league player. It's not anything to be ashamed about, there have been many many many before him. In fact the ratio of over hyped youngsters to actual good players is about 99:1

I've been overseas for 10 years. You either adjust to being overseas or you don't. Only a small fraction of people don't drop in performance at least some amount when working overseas at an elite competitive job

Disagree. Way more variables than that. You can be homesick for ages and then things can fall into place. It’s way more complex than “you either adjust or you don’t”

However, I agree with you and BalinTrev on the importance of mental health; especially awareness, treatment and management of it.

I don’t even care if I cop some stick. JRB should be in the roo’s squad for the June game/s. He’s at a higher level than McGowan and rowles and should make the squad.

I 100% agree with you. With Souttar injured, JRB should really be 3rd in line behind Sains and Degenek. I can’t think of any other CB I’d put ahead of JRB in that 3rd spot.

Alessandro Circati.
I must admit I haven't seen much of JRB, but Circati is even now definitely a Serie B standard defender and in my opinion is likely to be a regular in Serie A in a couple of years.

How many games did Christian Pulisic end Gio Reyna play in the MLS before joining Borussia Dortmund?

They left the US as 16 year olds and went into the academy. Our players leave when they're 19-20, too old to be a prospect and not old/experienced enough to be first team player i.e. completely fucking useless.

I don’t think there is a secret formula to having a player become star player. Mooy was probably the last successful player and he was almost as old as me lol

just 45 and was decent but not dominating

probably given that he might have had a chance in the holy trinity but to go from decent in the a league to a team winning the ucl on occasion was unrealistic

6.8 on futmob 

starting Serie B at 18 is impressive. If karacic is getting picked, this guy should be too. 
Has their been a Serie B starter in the last 20 years who didn’t get regular Socceroos squad selection?
