Leckie has been brilliant for Ingolstadt this season, watched as much as i could of the 2. Bundesliga and that front 3 is great. Auto promotion definitely on the cards and Leckie is a big part of that. Has to start for us in the Asian cup on the left/

Jackson Irvine made a cameo in a loss for Ross County.

Scored their only goal.

Anybody know what Eli Babalj is doing at AZ Alkmaar? Surely he needs to go to somewhere where he can get a game, instead of spending bench time there.

Rhys Williams injured a minute into his first start on the comeback trail. Likely to be out for the season again, the guys having a terrible run

* what did he do?
Retirement will be on the cards unfortunately if he has another set back.

Rhys Williams is the Scott Gumbleton of Australian Soccer.

Not confirmed but torn achilles is the speculation.

Jackson Irvine played a full game for Ross County. 1-all.

Feyenoord played a friendly but dunno if our Aussie played in it.

Luongo is a very likely type. Has a way to go and some polish to add but he could be anything.

who is going to buy him?

stoke?
burnley?

too good for league 1

As soon as he gets bought, he drops into obscurity. I don't trust the higher teams to give him the match time I'd prefer.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Would prefer he plays in a league that would nuture his creativity like Holland or Germany. Nick Carle's career was killed playing at Palace.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Aha ... reminds me of playing Fifa 15, abusing the beginner level to score 100 goals in 15 games, and getting bought by Leverkusen.

a low seria a club or la liga would be cool

This. Much like Oar, Kruse and Leckie his game is much better suited in Germany or Holland....probably more so as he is a central player not a wide one.

Callum Elder had an inauspicious start to his career at Mansfield. Subbed off in a 2-1 loss.

Chris Ikonomidis has been called up to the Lazio senior side for the Copa Italia after dominating for their u/19 side, leading them to the league cup.

What position does he play?

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I can find the score and who scored the goals but no lineup info ... grr.

 

[BlueBen]

What position does he play?

He's (another) attacking midfielder. We seem to be building up quite a fleet in that position.

Can we develop defensive midfielders like Jedinak and Milligan? Or better yet, strikers? I would love to see someone like Juric or Burns develop as a striker.

Agree, a genuine, quality striker would be fantastic. We haven't really had one since Viduka retired. Juric definitely shows promise and is still fairly young.

Peter Skapetis is a young striker who has done well for the Australian youth sides and is now at Stoke. Not sure how he's doing though.

Luongo is a box-to-box holding mid, ideally Jedinak should be playing on his own as the holding mid, and Luongo pretty central.

We don't exactly have any standout #10 candidates, ffs James Troisi is playing atm. Chris also plays wide right.

As for goals, Ikonomidis banged in 9 goals in the u/19 comp, leading all comers by quite a lot

Eeeeee.

His name sounds Greek (so if I'm wrong I'm a racist) so I hope he wants to commit as a senior.

Luongo I reckon could be a good #10. Then again, if Mooy develops that won't be a problem.

I think there was a picture of him posted a while back wearing a socceroo's shirt proudly supporting the team in Brazil

Edit

Dont think there will be any issues there
