Overseas Aussies

Postby EdDog Tue May 28, 2013 8:20 am

Thought I'd make a thread to discuss all of our overseas Aussies - had a quick look and I don't think one exists.

Mile Jedinak captained Crystal Palace to a 1-0 win early this morning our time earning them promotion to the EPL.

Will be interesting to see how he fares as I don't rate him all that highly when he dons the green and gold.

There's a great excel spreadsheet that is sent around every month by Damien Davies (I'm on the mailing list) which has some basic info on every player's performance during the month. It even includes Australians playing in Vanuatu and Fiji! Exceptionally comprehensive.

I'm still waiting for Troisi to step up; I believe he has the ability.

That's really cool.

Yeah - Troisi made quite a few starts when he first joined Atlanta but is not getting much first team action at the moment.

A lot of these youngsters jump at the first opportunity to move to a big overseas club with a big wage.

I can definitely see the appeal, but they need to go somewhere where they can actually get consistent game time. If not they are better staying in the A-League and demanding a better wage or marquee position. And Trollger has been picking a few A-Leaguers so there's no real need to leave from a NT selection standpoint.

Rogic is a prime example - he's barely had a look in a Celtic. Terrible move for him.

If Troisi cannot step up now then he will not get a look in when his loan ends and he is back at Juve

I know most Atalanta fans dont rate him
Ppl who slap the label of truth on the 1st thing they hear, do it out of ignorance, convenience or cant be bothered picking through a thin layer of falsehood to find the real truth, or possibly even another lie

Not a great moment for Schwarzer.
