Probably a good thing in terms of Arzani's ego too. Perhaps more chance of him re-signing for City? Doubt that van Marwijk would even have heard of GolGol.

Doubt that van Marwijk would even have heard of GolGol. I think he think he get's a pathway deal where he signs with City and is loaned back to us for a season regardless, with an aim to moving over to Europe if he has a great 18/19 season. Well he's picked that Susnjar guy and he plays at the same club as GolGol (and apparently Eli Babalj according to Wikipedia) so I think he'd be aware. Obviously I've only seen the stats but I'd say he'd be worth a run in a friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I think it's absolutely ridiculous that he isn't in the squad, you take him and give him a few minutes, give him the experience and also we find out his intentions 100% Iran will come knocking 100% now and it wouldn't surprise me if they name him in their next squad and make him make a decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid has played how many senior games ? How many have been full 90 minutes. Now we've seen him weekly and he has been a revelation but international football is another level altogether. He isn't ready for international football even if its a friendly. If he continues over the next few months and can see out games then maybe he deserves a squad spot for Russia but for me he is just not ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably isn't ready, but we capped ikonomidis before he had played a senior game. Brad Smith the same. If he was only Australian than we would have more time, but for the sake of one spot to make him commit to Australia long term, I would have named him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National team will go nowhere with those jokers still there. Kruse lol - I am probably travelling better than him and I'm mid 40s. My dick is probably stronger than the whole of that pissant. Troisi - going to be fun seeing how much more hair he'll lose battling with Pogba, Kante and Co. Pretty sure he'll be lucky to get more than 5 touches. Ruka - never seen someone expend so much energy sprinting around like a headless chook chasing their own first touch. Pretty sure this new coach only went and saw one game when he was here and it wasn't one of ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel's stats this season are 11 games, 8 starts, 2 goals, 3 assists and 0 90 minute performances. Won a few pens as well. 622 minutes at an average of 56 per game, 68 if you only include the games he started in. He has a further 6 substitute appearances from last season.

I'd have Borello in for Ruka, or Gol Gol. Kruse seems to be doing ok in Bundesliga 2 last time I heard, it was stupid he kept getting picked when his only club involvement was to warm the bench, at least he is playing now. Arzani in for Troisi. Arzani or Mebrahtu in for Cahill Kenny Dougal in for Brillante. Edited March 6, 2018 by moops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuggetsMcGreggor Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 So with Arnie leaving the smurfs, do we expect Arzani will likely re-sign with us soon? Not that GA plays kids but without a coach they’re a less attractive prospect for a player, surely. But then again, escaping WJ might be a factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
