CCM Boys conquering the world

[eenfish]

Oh boy can see it now… Sainsbury and Wilko as starting CB due for Australia at the World Cup and Asian Cup!


Okay, Asian Cup is a possibility, but my money is on Ognenovsky, Spiranovic and Lucas sharing the duties, and doing not so spectacularly.

Let's hope he actually gets to play this time... I know it's the life of a footballer, but seems a bit harsh to fly him out this late in the piece, just to have him warm the bench again.
Besides... I REALLY want to see him in Green and Gold

Apparently Arnie had a first up loss 1-2

EXCLUSIVE: @vuka20 (Danny Vukovic) has signed 5 month loan deal with Graham Arnold's Vegalta Sendai, effective immediately. Flies out today.
2:53pm - 3 Mar 14

Great news for Danny (do we get a cut of the fee? LOL); unlike last time he went overseas (not including Welly) he knows the coach isn't going to dump him from a great height. He could make the Socceroos at this rate

 

[Roy Law]

Fantastic news for Wilko; I really hope he gets the chance to play. As for Chris Herd

Should do well, even more reason to watch VS now.

I wonder if Arnie tried to sign Galekovic? Would have been my first choice as far as HAL keepers go.
Probably didn't have a big enough crow bar to get him out of Adelaide??

Adelaide would never loan him and would only sell him for top dollar. As far as A-League keepers go, he is pretty irreplaceable.

 

[Wombat]

Danny didn't look all that flash against Brisbane.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I didn't think he was too bad. His back four were the problem. I didn't think any of the goals were his fault, and he very nearly saved their 2nd, or should I say he very nearly capitalised on their stuff-up. It wasn't a bad effort seeing it was a two-on-one.

 

[Big Al]

After Danny's suspension he has never recovered IMO.

That said a lot of asian keepers are shit

I was thinking about this... Tbh, my personal view on Galekovic is that, while obviously an excellent keeper, he and Theo, tend to invite at LEAST one goal per game by suddenly switching off their brains for a minute-or-so and running WELL outside the box to get to a ball that they don't necessarily need to run for.
In many cases, they get away with it OK but...
I'm thinking that it might be a different story in the J-league... That maybe they only get away with it because of the relative quality of our league... Vuk might not always have the best saves, but looking at him over the last season of two, he doesn't tend to sweep much either and so, I think he tends to think of the box as the limit
I'm wondering whether that could leave him as at least, a middling keeper, in J-league terms with perhaps, some growth potential... Which isn't too bad if you know that he's likely to at least not INVITE goals

. did you see his overhead attempt at goal the other week? ... he has no limits

On the other end of the spectrum, pedj Bojic, who has missed half the season for Sydney so far, is about to announce he needs back surgery.

Bullet dodged

Mile to captain Socceroos!

 

[UnitedsNo9]

Thinking back to Mile's humble beginnings starting off with us where he was commuting while not being paid, wondering if it would all be worth it. Mile is probably the best example of decent stepping stones in recent times. NSW PL > MARINERS XI> best player in A-league > regular starting player in european league with Genclerbiligi > Championship > Captain > EPL> EPL Captain > CAPTAIN of AUSTRALIA.... forgive me if I've missed some steps but much deserved granted this has taken only what 5 years or so.. Shows the character of this club legend and I couldn't be happier for him.
