Australian transfers 26-27 Summer

[grazorblade]

This will be interesting to watch over the next few years. I suspect within 12 months we will be in our best place since 2011ish

Watford player says his goodbyes - Expected today for medical

Watford are now hours away from completing Nestory Irankunda's departure. The winger is expected in Portugal today.

Herrington and Beach both going to top 5 leagues. But they both have very identifiable flaws,

Herrington more likely to succeed as he simply needs to get rid of a bad habit of stepping back in anticipation of a break and upsetting the offside trap. Beach though is a poor sweeper keeper and unless Troyes plays very deep he will be found out very quick. He can learn - but it is easier to get rid of a flaw like Herrington's than develop a skill that Beach needs to.

BTW Souttar likely to be at Blades.

Are we producing modern keepers? Gauci and Chapman criticised overseas for distribution whilst Chapman commended for shot-stopping. Are we providing world's best practice in training our young keepers or falling well short?

Does News.com.au ever proof read before publishing? "Herrington, 18, will join Hull from American Major Socceroo League outfit Colorado Rapids"

Most of their stuff is AI Generated these days, if it isn't their journos have to produce a story every 15 mins.

Former A-League prodigy Irankunda is set to undergo his medical on Wednesday night (AEST) ahead of putting pun to paper on his contract.

Obviously he's having the last laugh ...

AI wouldn't make that mistake. That's the work of a lousy "journo". But they do use AI for a lot of their stuff so the article itself may be AI but the title is human.

Well he's arrived. Big step from the young man.

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

Comes across as a tad surly there, but it must be fairly overwhelming. He's never been feted like that before - did you hear the millions of cameras going off?

Looked tired and a little overwhelmed.

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

Tired? London to Lisbon is about two hours!

Not sure what the correct expression for ten microphones in your face is, but thrilled probably isn't one of them.

Not as bad as Sainsbury's 'Forza Inter' and into the taxi.

Reports he flew Ryanair, not TAP.

Matty ryan is as about as modern sweeper keeper as you can get.

Very much an anomaly for australian football actually, especially at the time he came through. I dont think we'd ever produced one before (a sweeper keeper)..

Vukovic as well - but was stuck behind Maty (who is younger).

Don't thunk I've seen that sort of media reaction for an aussie since Kewell went to Galatasaray. So proud of the kid, fantastic season at Watford topped it off with great world cup and got the move he wanted.

 

[onedaywinners...]

Obviously I'm biased but I genuinely think this kid has IMMENSE talent! I mean if he can find some consistency with his output he could be absolutely anything. Can you imagine defending him at full flight?? Let alone defending that shot from anywhere near the box!

He is 20 and is about to walk into first team minutes at Sporting Lisbon. As jas88 said this is a lot of hard work paying off right here for the young kid.

Nestory is the biggest box office player we have and this is a huge moment in Australia football!!
