G. Kuol is at a pre pre season training camp in Verona atm with other elite young footballers. Newcastle pre-season training starts next week. 

The season has just started. To be out for the lot is likely an ACL you'd think. 

great to see big season ahead - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12235849/Garang-Kuol-heads-Italy-head-start-Newcastles-pre-season-training.html

Sad to see Mooy retire at such a relatively young age but what a Joy having watched him play for his clubs and especially for the Socceroos.

Hearts fixtures are favourable that they'll play everyone else before meetings Hibs and the big two in a row in October. Here's hoping they can win the vast majority and set up some massive clashes. 

Australia the only team in the top forty without a regular in the big 5.

Reckon we have overperformed three world cups in a row compared to the club pedigree of our players

Agree.After the last WC and the recent U/23 tournament and U17 Asian tournament there are players who will make it into those leagues in the next few seasons.

Wiesbaden back in training. They've seen their two best players move to bigger clubs. Hopefully this means a reshuffle and Iredale can start some more. I expect more minutes anyway as they'll likely be trailing in games and will need to seek goals.

Irvine and Metcalfe back in training already. Season start only 4 weeks away! 

St Pauli have won both friendlies in their preseason so far and have a few more matches lined up. Metcalfe scored in the 6- 0 win against VfB Oldenburg. Irvine apparently still injured and did not play. Will be keen to watch Metcalfe's second season in 2 Bundesliga.

Iredale will need to do a lot to grab Graham Arnolds eye for NT. Not impossible, and playing in the higher league will help, but i thought D'Agostino would figure at some level after his strong start at Viking, but he was overlooked. 

Time for McLaren to be moved on and some of these younger strikers to be given a chance to play.

They didn't select D'Agostino to allow him to adapt in Norway

Such an in depth interview with Iredale. I don't think people realise how well Arnold knows him. Had him at Sydney and was called up to Arnold's first ever Australia squad. ACL, Covid and also some other knocks and even a dental operation saw his good short bursts of form cancel out any consideration. What he has over Maclaren is he can run with the ball, link up much better and is physically stronger. The finishing aspect is what gets Maclaren in but it doesn't occur for Australia.

These early practice games are all about fitness with a lot of rotation. Stuttgart linked with many attackers. Surely Alou Kuol is on the way out now. Italiano really can't afford another year at Gladbach either.

There are a number of full games from last season on Youtube that that you can watch to get an idea of how Iredale plays
He looks strong and mobile with good link up play.
He also has good control
One game  here https://www.youtube.com/live/5CuqqGuAAsU?feature=share

Wouldn't mind seeing Iredale called up to the Vietnam game with a few other fringe players

Two goals where he runs with the ball from halfway and finishes calmly. He's got a poised I don't think we've seen for a long time in a 9. Taggart can finish them but can't dribble, Maclaren is a poacher against minnow, Duke is the best at linking up and can chime in but is not going to be around too much longer, D'Agosinto is being moulded into the next Duke. I think Cummings is done now.

July 1 is the day Transfermarkt.com resets all the squads. I wonder what's going to happen with Mabil?

Coady to Leicester. I think Faes will fetch a deal somewhere in first division. Can't see Souttar departing unless he's given assurance of starting at a different club. 

Viking won 2-1

Yazbak played 90 

Daggers has lost a bit of game time lately only getting 22 mins 

Disappointing for D'Agostino. I wonder why he isn't starting? 

yeah i wonder why...

Soyuncu has left Leicester as has Amartey which is good for Souttar. Hopefully he gets a starting spot this season and gets a few games under his belt. 

Faes still there but I think a top 5 league team will have a look at him. Might see a back 3. They'll bring in some more centre backs but Souttar proved to be the best anyway. Let's just hope this new coach doesn't take the piss. 

Yengi getting a lot of Portsmouth social media promotion. God I hope he kicks on. Felt even at WSW some of those strong strides on the ball he'd lok great in gold. I like that he's just another to give Arnold a headache. He said he prefers the striker role and he does well from the outside too.

He's got pretty good cards long term as Leckie, Duke and Goodwin may not even make 2026. What kind of scorer stats gets him close? 7-10 by 2024 should see him at least Asian Cup shortlisted. We're stacked though. 

Yengi promised much, only delivered in the original Sydney Derbies at Sydney Football Stadium. He smoked Grant in the last one there! 
He will become a little fish in a big pond over there.

Anyone know where Deni Juric is now?
Only info i can find is with Dinamo Zegrab still and on loan to Rijeka.
I can't find if that loan is ongoing and havnt seen anything about him on social media.
Havnt heard if injured.
Just looks like he dropped off the planet

all I see is the same as you posted and at Rijeka.

id say he will be back in australia soon enough. he cant run with the ball and has the touch of a donkey.

pretty much agree, aggressive runner works here but his touch is average, donkey haha love it.

I disagree with this. He's got pretty good skills for a big unit & has the ability to beat a defender one on one - I think he was played out of position at WSW - he's a striker not a winger. Hope he does well 

He chose Croatia over Australia 

Dengy about to start in Japan which is on optus in 30 mins 

Yeah he's fantastic with the ball at his feet for someone his size. Talent isn't Yengi's issue, it's injuries.
