Souttar is nearly done at Leicester I reckon. Faes might leave but Cody is there and just so conveniently an ex City coach loans in a 19 year old centre back rated at 10m from City. No doubt the arrangement is to play him as often as possible.

The spiral continues. Despite the previous setback, Souttar came into the side performing the best so it's just ludicrous to not use his assets. 6 more games than the EPL so I guess there are plenty of minutes.

Mo Toure played 60 mins for the Reims first team.

Definitely our best U23 striker currently and a possible smoky for Socceroos selection if he gets minutes in the league.

I'd say our priority to get called up now. Arnold surely working on it. Late subs in November window and Asian Cup should sort it.

Ryan welcomed back nicely in Bruges friendly.

Any intel on if he’s made his decision to accept the Socceroos call-ups? 

That is so beautiful 😭

Hearts have been paired with either Crusaders or Rosenborg in Q3 of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Nope

Harry Sawyer scored his first goal in Finland.

Vikingroos highlights 

Massive Saturday at 9pm with St Pauli away to Kaiserslautern and Wiesbaden hosting Magdeburg. This Portuguese channel shows Bundesliga 2 so if you're desperate I imagine it'd work with a VPN.  https://aderir.elevensports.pt/

Sammy scored for boro again in a friendly 

He’s killing it. Cap him. 

Cam Peupion got 20 mins against Brentford. Let's hope he makes a few more appearances in the Prem this season 

Yeah he's got it all. Gets around the man and can finish. Good link up play and that pace to track back also.

Our last squad was crying out for a left sided forward. Mabil is on the wane. Goodwin is fantastic but probably only has an Asian Cup rather than another WC in him. Silvera is a good shout. 

Silvera's goal for Middlesborough against Bradford at 0:10. Unfortunately, Glover at fault for Bradford's first goal - silly pass.

Jimmy Jeggo came on in the 61st minute for Hibs in their Conference League qualifier. Lost 2-1 to Inter Club from Andorra

Dear me.. Andorra! 

That Hibs loss is a big shock. Nice to see Boyle on the bench at least. I'm sure they'll turn it on in the home leg.

There's a reason ordinary A League players go straight into SPL staring 11s.  

Belgian League starts today. Bos hopefully to start season in opening game at midnight Saturday AEST. 

Burgess featured against Leipzig and Breen. Luongo didn't appear to travel to Austria after getting a knock a few days earlier. Big campaign coming up for Ipswich as they return to the Championship.

If anyone has been following the development of Zak Gilsenan, the former wunderkind who was called the Irish Messi and represented a junior Australia team, he seems to have shaken off his most recent long-term injury and has been in Blackburn’s first team games throughout Pre-season. He seems to have played a significant part because he has scored in a few of the most recent matches; including a penalty overnight against Stockport. 

Good signs. I’m bullish on Burgess becoming a Socceroo if he plays regular Championship football this season.

Duke's Machida Zelvia is currently top of the J league 2. They usually play 2 strikers but another guy "Erik" keeps scoring every game while Duke hardly score (maybe only 2 so far this season). Now Duke is back on the bench I wonder if that's the reason being on the bench for not scoring enough at J2 level.  This could be a concern for the Socceroos since Maclaren isnt nearly good enough for national team.

Awesome. At Hannover Eleversburg today. Iredale, Metcalfe and Irvine starting. 

Yep. Good left footed passer and a safe option in friendly windows if we don't want others to jeopardise their club slot. An annoying reality for our players at times. 

Iredale being a first-choice starting striker in the Buli 2 is absolutely huge.

Best club level for a striker since Scot mcdonald
