Well what a turn around! A month ago he was on the bench of the reserves side. Now Amini has been named in the Dortmund UCL squad to play Arsenal.

Re: OS Aussies talk
I guess I am a wee bit concerned that Dortmund have picked up 18 y.o. Mitsuru Maruoka on loan from Cerezo Osaka. He's 3 years younger, similar controlling midfielder type (indeed wore the #6 for Dortmund II earlier this year for what it's worth) and has been promoted to the 1st squad.Well what a turn around! A month ago he was on the bench of the reserves side. Now Amini has been named in the Dortmund UCL squad to play Arsenal.
If Amini can't crack the 1st squad by January he needs to be moving on to someplace where he can get some decent football under his belt.

Bresc retires from international football.
3 world cups, scored the equaliser to get us to penalties against Uruguay '05, part of the 2015 Asian Cup win but didn't feature in the final.
Guy is an absolute legend.
Adios Bresc. Well played.

Re: OS Aussies talk
Luongo makes the top 10 list of players in Britain outside the EPL.
THE TOP 10
Personally I'm glad that he stayed at Swindon after the Asian Cup. I think he could have easily taken one of the first offers he got and be now just another young talented hopeful playing reserves for an EPL side. Obviously there are worse places to be but I think being an important part of a League One club is better experience.
ATM Swindon are looking very good for promotion to the Championship so things are looking very good for him and I feel he could do far worse then just deciding to stay put at Swindon for the time being.
THE TOP 10
http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/ma ... 72888673181. Matt Ritchie - Bournemouth
2. Grant Leadbitter - Middlesbrough
3. Calum Wilson - Bournemouth
4. Troy Deeney - Watford
5. Chris Martin - Derby County
6. Daryl Murphy - Ipswich Town
7. Dele Alli - MK Dons
8. Will Hughes - Derby County
9. Massimo Luongo - Swindon Town
10. Jordan Rhodes - Blackburn Rovers

Re: OS Aussies talk
Luongo seems to have a good head on shoulders and/or is getting some very good advice. He joined the right club in Swindon when he left Spurs.
If he joins the right EPL club he might get reasonable game time. Ashley Westwood joined Aston Villa from league one, although based on his performances in league two and made 30 appearances in his first year.

Re: OS Aussies talk
True but that sort of stuff happens very rarely. I think you would need to find a club with fans and a coach willing to back kids. There aren't too many of those ATM.Luongo seems to have a good head on shoulders and/or is getting some very good advice. He joined the right club in Swindon when he left Spurs.

Re: OS Aussies talk
There are enough good teams in good European leagues where he could go.
It doesn't always have to be the EPL.

I keep thinking the same. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Freiburg/Atalanta/Celta de Vigo type of club.There are enough good teams in good European leagues where he could go.
