Murfy1 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Sounds like a capable and strong defender, which makes him a good and necessary signing after losing Hard-as-nails Kisnorbo. Looked keen to play for Melbourne City in the interview, so I'm looking forward to seeing how Ruon goes this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Refugees Deng and Tongyik tipped for Socceroos greatness By Dave Lewis 15 JUL 2016 African refugees Thomas Deng and Ruon Tongyik have been tipped to become the cornerstone combination of Australia's central defence within five years by ex-Olyroo turned player agent Buddy Farah. Farah, who played 13 times for Australia Under-23 before becoming a full international with Lebanon, admits some people will think he is “mad” for heaping “some much expectation” on the 19 year-old stoppers. But he is convinced the pair will form a domineering international partnership as their careers unfold. Kenyan refugee Deng’s potential has already been harnessed by Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven, who have signed the Melbourne Victory teenager on loan for the season, whilst Sudanese emigré Tongyik was this week snapped up by Melbourne City from Adelaide United to be part of the City Football Academy. With Bernie Ibini becoming the first African-born player to play for the Socceroos in 2014, Farah is convinced that plenty more will follow, with Deng and Tongyik well placed to follow Ibini and more recently Melbourne Victory right-back Jason Geria into the national team. “I am excited for Australia’s defensive stocks in the future because with Tongyik and Deng coming through to join Geria we have two potentially world class centre-halves coming out of our own back yard via Africa,” said Farah, who also manages Tongkik and was behind his switch from the Reds to City where he reunites with former Adelaide youth team guru Michael Valkanis. “I played centre-back myself during my career and I know what it takes to be dominant in that position and between Deng and Tongyik, I feel we really have two massive players in the making. "They are players who could be around together at the very top with the national team for a very long time indeed and they will, in my opinion, forge big careers for themselves in Europe. “I say this openly and without any hesitation, even though some people will think I am mad to place that sort of expectation on the two of them.” While on the bench a number of times last season for the A-League champions, Tongyik didn’t get a first team debut while Deng played 13 games for Victory and is auditioning for a permanent deal with PSV, where he has joined their second team but will train with the senior squad this season. “I see a bigger picture with these players … they are big and strong and they maybe have something about them that others don't have with all respect to the incumbents like Bailey Wright, Trent Sainsbury and Matthew Spiranonic,” added Farah. "Deng can be a complete player in the years to come and Ruon will get the right education at Melbourne City and I really see these two as the cornerstone of our national team in the future. "Going to Melbourne city is a good move for Tongyik. Michael Valkanis knows him from his time at Adelaide and he will get a good grounding there and I expect him to get some first team game time at some stage soon. "Deng is already an Olyroo and with Josep Gombau now in charge of the Under-23's I think Tongyik will also get a call. "He is Patrick Vieira-like and can play as a centre-half or as a defensive midfielder. "I know I will do everything my power to get him to the very highest level, as will Deng's agent (John Grimaud). "I’m sure PSV with sign Deng and Tongyik will likely end up in Europe also at some stage." http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2016/07/15/refugees-deng-and-tongyik-tipped-socceroos-greatness 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is good enough in the air to play as a regular centre half. He has pace and can use the ball and would really like to see him given a go at right back.

Well from what I have seen he definitely has pace. I honestly believe he would be better suited to the right back position. I just don't see him holding down a place at centre half permanently.

jw1739 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Like most of the defenders tonight, Tongyik didn't have a lot to do. He looked to me relaxed on the ball and his passing was OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing JVS has proven over the years is that each season he plucks a youngish player and he gets to atleast A League standard. And of course there are at least 5 that don't. Let's see how he goes in the cup game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisphantomfortress Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 My take away from last night; he's enormous. Other than that I'd like to see him take on some opposition of a higher quality before judging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
