Have you seen Alou Kuol’s Insta story?? Gold ????

Great banter from the Kuol boys.
Garang has seemed to come out of his shell this pre season, he was hilarious in todays presser.

Seems to be this article he's referring to: https://www.beinsports.com/au/transfers/news/kuol-on-cusp-of-sensational-newcastle-united-/1950596

My thoughts are its bollocks

Well, that’s a spanner in the works.

Expressions of Interest: Goalkeeper Coaching Opportunities

In the Central Coast Mariners continued search for high standard staff the club is accepting Expressions of Interest for goalkeeper coaches. Applicants do not need to have prior coaching experience. Positions are available in the academy youth set up, as...

ccmariners.com.au

Looks like we’re after a new GK coach.

Read a bit deeper.....Academy coaching staff.

We just brought in a new 1st team Spanish goalkeeper coach and he looks the business.

Annie get your gun!!

Love a bit of Difford and Tilbrook. Poets!

No Vuka though. Mitch Langerak returning to the fold and it is Danny that has been bumped rather than the wiggle.

No Alou Kuol either which is very surprising...

Cumdog barely made it into contention so it’s hard to see Alou joining as well right now. His time will come if he performs well as a bunch of current players are getting on a bit.

Alou says they have never spoken to the journo who wrote the article

 

[Huddo]

It could be misdirection, the journo may have unwittingly been used to scare off other potential buyers. I know it sounds far fetched but I believe it would happen.
Also even if the numbers were true does anyone think Alou would come out and say it is. Just a reminder Garang is 17, has played very few games and was just called up by the socceroos (if I remember Alou's numbers were pretty similar at one point) , now that's not to say he doesn't deserve it. But in perspective, if I was Arnie and I was approached by NUFC and asked to play him so as to assist in him getting a visa, it's a pretty big given I'd be doing it to allow for player growth.
I know these are conspiracies I just think the story has too much info to not have some sort of angle.

I'm not surprised he is so close to breaking through, if he does it will mean a whole lot more than a friendly, keep him in Germany let him do what he has to do.

In a friendly yeah maybe, in a World Cup? No chance. If he’s there it’s because he’s such a different talent to others we have. There aren’t many players in our setup that want to run at players like Garang does. Same reason why Arzani got a look in early.

 

[Allreet?]

There's no way in the world Arnie would pick him just to enhance his visa chances in the UK.

GK is good enough anyway. Really looking forward to seeing how he goes.

It would also be to secure his services for Oz. It's a win-win For 10 minutes in the jersey.

Has to play in a competitive match to be locked in.

Friendlies don't count.

Isn't that how Cummings is dealt with, he played a few friendlies for Scotland but not competitive matches so he is eligible for Aus.

 

[Ironbark]

I reckon NZ is a good place for both GK and JC to be able to impress and maybe lock in a spot

It this friendly sanctioned by FIFA as a competitive fixture? Honest question.

Edit: it's pencilled in as an international Friendly, so I'll say no.
