Left sided CB as well. Probably first back-up for Rowles as a natural left sider. 

Needs to come into the next NT squad. 

Duke is a guy who might get a send-off at an Asian Cup but beyond that we'd be looking at other options. G. Kuol, M. Toure, D'Agostino, Irankunda, Iredale are the group. I'm hoping someone steps up from there. Perhaps Botic and Jovanovic as well. We'll move past Duke, McLaren, Taggart, Cummings. 

And guess what, he's clinical too. Only question is whether the league skill and form converts to a gold shirt. We've seen it not be the case with Maclaren. 

He was in Arnold's first ever squad, a training camp. 

Past 6 months our front 3 options have improved drastically. Silvera is another that has been scoring a lot in preseason from the wing. 

Tricky opening day with Wiesbaden down a goal at HT. Might see some subs to mix it up. Big campaign ahead. Westerlo with Bos later on. 

Tilio already injured not in Celtic match 

Old news, he will miss the start of the season

Ok I didn't know 👍

I'm talking about a central striker not wingers who can score. D'agostino is a central striker yes but still have a lot to prove in Europe. Heart coach used to put Gerang Koul as a striker and he became completely  useless.  At the moment I feel Duke is still the best option we have.

Big night tonight for jelacic. We are a bit thin at 10

anyone have a westerlo stream they can send me? Usual streams aren't working

Standard is pretty decent. Been a while since I watched the juliper league

Definitely comparable to Portugal or eredivisie and a step up from spl

I was impressed by st Pauli too. Hope they get promoted 

Yeah I've been following him for a few years now - he's been injured a lot in that time. He was included in the squad for the u23 tournament in France, but pulled out for personal reasons. He's a striker with potential 

Irvine & Metcalfe started in a 2-1 win. Irvine with an assist & MOM on FotMob. Bos starting, which is awesome. Davidson also starting in the same game for Eupen. So we've got 4 players in Belgium - now a top 5 league - which is very promising. 

Not too concerning Iredale came off at HT as they were behind and brought on their top striker from last season. You'd think though what compels the manger to start Iredale over him? Anyway they lost at home to start. Hannover with a stupid 2:2 draw at home to Elversberg which only has a bus stop. Imagine a place like Toukley having a club in the second divison of a country with 84m people. 

All of those players are most suited to a 9 or 10 except maybe Irankunda. The hope is they develop and become starters. I think we need to and will start bringing those players through NT squads. 

Anyone know how our Juliper League players went?

All I can see is a 2:2 draw between Bos and Davidson. Bos with double the performance rating over Davidson yet it's internet user base I think.

Nice assist by Irvine today. Seeing Irvine and Metcalfe on that hallowed turf.

Bundesliga 2 just nuts this season with big clubs and crowds. 

Correcting myself. Wiesbaden drew with Magdeburg. Tricky as the reliable Wiesbaden striker scored after coming on.. 

Just watched Iredale's first half. He's good at getting away from a market and it was a shame the early header looped over.

One pass he threaded through the tightest of gaps on the sharpest of turns was impressive. What stood out was the positional awareness and the touch and movement after passing. There was also a decent use of dribbling and pace. I think he'll be benched next week as Pratjin really is incumbent and scores regularly but Iredale showed he's of the grade yesterday. Cap due. 

Well my jaw has dropped. I didn't realise it yesterday but Iredale was actually subbed in the 55min due to a nasty knock on his knee. With a previous ACL, this is scary. He was holding it a lot and it had to be bandaged as he walked off with the trainer. I guess walking off is better than being carted.

He posted this:
2.Bundesliga debut today!! Strong fighting spirit from the team!
First tests on my knee have been good news🙏🏼 so let’s see how it reacts over the next couple days!

Ugh, Souttar on bench for Liverpool game in Singapore with Doyle and Vestergaard ahead and neither Coady nor Faes in this squad. Souttar is clearly number 5 now. Immediate loan or permanent move and he has to put his foot down. 

Souttar will start in the cup against Burton and invariably due to a lack of minutes, they'll be rusty and lose only deepening the coach's distaste for him.

Not even going to bother repeating myself that he's totally of the grade and more. 

I don't think lower Championship clubs can necessarily meet his wage demands. Schalke are in desperate need of a good CB so a loan there would be good but I doubt they even know he exists. 

He hasn't been in any of the team lists that I saw over the last few weeks & he hasn't been named in the squad for the first game of the season. Injured or just didn't make the cut?

Saw some mentions he didn't make the cut. Big squad and he's very raw. 

Nieuwenhof starting for Hearts vs Leeds

Hopefully a loan back to the a league if he still isnt in the squad in a month

He seems technically very strong

Yazbek starting

viking have a shot to make european conference league which would be great exposure

Thought I'd put together a list of AA for this upcoming season. Players registered at current club but might not necessarily play for the first team. Corrections and updates welcome. Bet I forgot at least one poor individual.
