The conveyor belt continues ...

Just jokingly asked AU to announce that they have re-signed Tatu and the replied that they have!

Did you ask them why it's a secret ?

Almost forgot the star of the show !

Mo scored twice in Norwich's 4-1 home romp over Burnley :D

The Canaries now find themselves fending off deadline day interest.

Socceroo Mohamed Toure is generating significant interest from a quartet ...

Cong An Hanoi won the Vietnam Super Cup 5-0 over Cong An Ho Chi Minh City yesterday.

Not sure if Mauk played but I can't see him in the celebration photo. Looks like their league season starts next weekend.

Weekend wrap:

Nestor came on in the 80th minute of a 4-0 away win against Rio Ave (Sporting sit 2nd)
Yaya came on in the 57th minute of a 1-4 away defeat to Brinje (Celje are 7th)
Luka was an unused sub in a 0-0 away draw with Houston Dynamo (San Jose are 4th)
Archie came on in the 76th minute of a ...

A friendly against Newy would be a great idea, but with both clubs not having two brass razoos to rub together they probably can't agree on a venue.

Cool!

Out in the wild wild west

Sorry, bit late this week.

Weekend wrap:
Archie came in in the 74th minute of a 3-1 home win v DC United
Luka was an unused sub in 1-5 pasting handed out by Minnesota (yikes!)
Yaya was subbed off in the 79th minute as Celje lost their UCL playoff 2nd leg to Slovan in extra time.
Celje will now play ...

Lost a few of the headline acts from last season's squad in what appeared to be a cost cutting exercise.

Hopefully, the team can stay competitive and not regress.

Oh and Yaya came on in the 85th minute of Celje's 1-1 away draw to Slovan Bratislava in the 1st leg of the Champions League play off. Good result for the Slovenians.

MLS midweek:

Archie came on in the 78th minute in a 3-3 draw with Toronto. (Charlotte were 3-1 up against 10 men with 15 mins to go )

Luka started (I think for the first time) and came off after an hour in a 0-1 defeat away to LA Galaxy.
