CCM Boys conquering the world

Tom Rogic in a moon boot getting scans soon apparently.

He needs to go and see Tav's doctor only two weeks apparently. Let's see how Tav goes and I'm a bit sceptical.

From what Sean said on the podcast the other week, old injury that blew up a bit mysteriously when he trained on it. So it not likely he's torn a tendon or cracked something and explains why they hope for the short turn around. Could be arthritis or an auto immune response or some debris floating around from before possibly... anyway not trying to diagnose it my point is that it may be something which is genuinely treatable within the time frame they've put forward. Let's hope so.

Trent Sainsbury (Jiangsu Suning, China)

It was an exciting first year for Chinese football for the defender.

He moved to the Netherlands to Nanjing and one of the biggest spending clubs in the world. He was soon lining up with Brazilian stars such as Alex Teixeria and Ramires.

A group-stage exit in the 2016 AFC Champions League was a disappointment, albeit a very close-run one.

In the Chinese Super League however, Jiangsu pushed Guangzhou Evergrande all the way and then lost to the same team in the CFA Cup final.

It was a solid foundation for what should be twin assaults in China and Asia in 2017. Whatever is in store for the Caltex Socceroo, it is sure not to be boring.

I wish Sainsbury was in Europe not China.

I can't really blame him for taking the money and running though. With the amount of cash Jiangsu throw around he could very easily set him and his family up for life.

Mitch Duke has reportedly resigned with Shimizu S-Pulse. Quite encouraging for him considering they just got promoted back to J-1.

They're right too. Like us without Monty. Or indeed how we were when Mile left. The rest of our season was chalk and cheese that year. Barely won another game for 6 months I think it was until we signed Rostyn. At least that's how I remember it. Easily Lawrie's worst period in charge.

So many coaches seem to not factor in leadership, presence and the nature of a player and what that brings. And it's not just in football. It's something that I think great managers, like Ferguson, Mourinho and pep intuitively understand and a balance they always strive to achieve.

Mile Jedinak is over his stomach bug and is available for selection in Aston Villa's next game.
