The Socceroos thread.

If that bridge isn’t already burned after the last time they called him up not to use him you’d have to promise him the starting spot. Gauci and another young keeper seem like the way forward now. Leave Redmayne at home and at best take an experienced keeper as a mentor figure.

Didn't he get a world cup experience ahead of Langers (who should've been the choice on form)?

Don't think Vuka has anything to complain about and could actually be a genuine chance of taking the #1 spot... although Gauci is definitely the future and will be playing in Europe shortly.

Gaucci and brewer as the 2 best young ones and Ryan as the incumbent senior keeper (depending how he heals).

If maty is out I would be promising langerak a swan song to get him on the plane.

I actually think Arnie will try to avoid AMB for now - he will want him for the Olympics later in the year and will want to use him in the AFC U23 Asian Cup which is on in a non FIFA date as a warm up tournament.

This squad is likely to be older as Arnie tries to horse trade with the clubs of the younger players to leave them during the current window and release them for the U23 Asian Cup.

I would that ALM young players will still be considered.

Plenty of injury worries for Arnie this close to the Asian Cup-Maty,Strain,McGree,Leckie( injured last night in ACL game).Leaves GK and RB positions pretty thin for cover.Also worrying that Souttar not getting game time and also Volpato being used sparingly.Same goes for Garang Kuol and Tilio.

Positives are that Fornaroli is in red hot form.Also Arzani rediscovering his old form and O'Neill and Bos getting plenty of game time in the Belgian league.

Good point.

Lewis Miller is pretty much nailed on for RB although Deng can play there also. Whatever happened to Karacic? (He never impressed me though.)

Leckie has become something of a sick note, but has been a consistent 7/10 for the Socceroos. If he's out the door flies open for the likes of Arzani and Irankunda, although I suspect Arnie wants Irankunda for the Olys.

Hope McGree is fit.

Also hope Lewis doesn't cost us a game with his usual red mist problems - Asian refs can be very touchy.

McTapin injured opens the door for Arnold to blood someone.
(That was his excuse after last night)

Released by Brescia. No current club.

 

[finally retired]

Can we swap Doka for him?

 

[Allreet?]

I'm seeing promise in Doka

Player of the Tournament at the 2015 Asian Cup. I always liked him.

Desperately need McGree to be fit.

One can only assume that with the squad announced at 10am today that arnie called him on the weekend and told him he wasn’t in. ??‍♂️

Probably also means McGree is fit.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Probably also means McGree is fit.

He’s listed on livescore as unknown return and I read earlier in the week that he still hadn’t trained fully.

He will be well under done - he hasn’t played since the start of October.

Wonder if it’s Robertson? He is killing it at Portsmouth.

 

[Allreet?]

Robertson... good point.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Probably also means McGree is fit.

Not sure thats a good thing TBH. He has had plenty of chances and never really shone at international level. Time to move on
