NewConvert Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 It'd be too big a backwards step for him at this point in his career imo. Well if he can't get game time and Behich is, then ,barring injury, I can't see Davidson starting. Can Davidson get a loan spell to the second division in the UK? The article is not clear. Maybe the third but then he is no better off than in the A-League. So if he wants to play in the cup in January, and CFG are making the offer then its up to him because sitting on the pine is also a backward step.

Shahanga Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Given Aziz's excellent (to me) performance as Australia's first choice left back in a major tournament, I thought it was time to bump this thread. I always rated Aziz but became concerned last year that he'd plateaued or worse. Fantastic to see a Heart original make the step to Socceroo first XI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Last season it looked like Aziz was reading for the Babalj book of team play. Was trying to do too much and getting caught out time and time again, costing us goals. His transformation in under 12 months has been amazing, from bench at the bottom club in the A-League to starting LB for the Socceroos. He deserves a lot of credit for knuckling down and proving the doubters wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's such a huge advantage, all those Australian Footballers with EU passports are for sure jealous The majority of Australians in Europe wouldn't be there if they didn't have an EU citizenship, all Aziz has is Turkey that he isn't counted as a foreigner in. It doesn't matter any way how he got his chance, he has clearly made the most of it, and is better than Davidson (where would Davidson be playing if he didn't have a EU passport) so either way he is first choice Socceroos left back Edited January 19, 2015 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that he is playing Left Back which is the position that is the least important/last picked for most sides... and a position that his club understandably don't want to waste a Visa spot on... which is why the only overseas league he has ever been linked to in his career is Turkey - Because of the Visa Rule. Edit - Also its great to know that he gives a shit about playing well in Turkey but could not even get close to winning MHFC's Best and Fairest last season in a season where we finished second last...

That's probably why there won't be much interest in him from elsewhere in Europe. My point was also that most Australian in Europe are in the position you mention, of only being there because they don't count as a foreigner (because they have EU passports, or play in leagues with very loose foreigner limits). There are very few Australians that actually use up a foreigner spot for their clubs. Off the top of my head, from the current squad, Franjic (who is on his way out of his club), Kruse, Leckie, and Langerak. The Dutch and Belgian leagues dont really have foreigner limits, England doesn't have a limit you just have to have played 75% of your countries games in a given period of time to get a visa, and the others playing in Europe have a EU passport. Wouldn't surprise me if Langerak, kruse or Leckie have an EU passport, in fact surely Langerak does because otherwise he is such a waste. I think in Germany the foreigner limit is on the match squad, and given that Kruse doesn't play games he doesn't really count. So it would seem the only Australian player good enough to use a foreigner spot is Leckie (assuming he doesn't have an EU passport), and that's because he plays in a league clearly below his level (key player for the top team in the division).So to try make a comment on Behich's ability because he doesn't count as a foreigner for his club is retarded.

The club was in complete disarray under JA's tenure, so i wouldn't really look at last season to judge how good of a player he can be. I never thought he would get out of Aus, he always gave a 100% for the club (except for THAT season) so for him to be playing at one of the biggest clubs in Europe consistently has really proved me wrong and i can be nothing but happy for him.

How is a club ranked 119 by UEFA one of the biggest clubs in Europe? LOL - Even bloody Modern Day Glasgow Rangers who are literally being sacked by their own fans as we speak rank above bloody Bursapor. Mind you I guess their is probably some Scot out there four years ago when Gers were current SPL Champions (and UEFA Cup Runners Up only a season before) that said that "Crap Player X" would never play for Rangers only to see the club be put in bottom flight and field "Crap Player X". But that's the same thing isn't Telsa??? Enjoy going the early crow my friend... lets just hope that when the Turkish League changes it rules and the Australian team becomes remotely watchable agian that you dont look like certain PPL who after being absent from this forum for months came on out of nowhere to give it to everyone about how the club was going to keep the #RedAndWhite after hearing that League had blocked CFG early attempts to make us wear Sky Blue.

Tesla Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Pretty harsh on aziz tbh. Sure, the guy was average last season, but lets be honest, who wasn't? The club was in complete disarray under JA's tenure, so i wouldn't really look at last season to judge how good of a player he can be. I never thought he would get out of Aus, he always gave a 100% for the club (except for THAT season) so for him to be playing at one of the biggest clubs in Europe consistently has really proved me wrong and i can be nothing but happy for him. How is a club ranked 119 by UEFA one of the biggest clubs in Europe? LOL - Even bloody Modern Day Glasgow Rangers who are literally being sacked by their own fans as we speak rank above bloody Bursapor.

What early crow? No matter what happens from now on you were wrong, that's what happens when you say someone will never play for the NT and then they do. And the NT is better now than when you said he would never play for it, at least we convincingly beat teams like Kuwait and Omar now, that hasn't been the case over the last few years. Also LOL @ this guy claiming Bursaspor are on of the biggest clubs in Europe. That's obviously not the case. But it's a pretty big team in a decent league and Behich playing regularly there is a lot more than most Australian soccer players are achieving. He's done well and exceeded most people's expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 What's wrong with bursaspor? Probably the biggest club in world sport tbh. Still a good club to play at for some guy who couldn't cross a ball in for shit for the majority of his time at heart. (And his career hasn't stalled such as other heart kids such as hamill and Eli so you know he is legit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I wonder whether we get an additional payment each time he plays for Bursaspor and/or Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Torn Asunder Posted January 19, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) To see where he is now, from where he has been, shows the kid has enormous drive and tenacity, regardless of how '"good" he is technically as a footballer. And it is those very traits that endear him to most of us original Heart supporters. So, I couldn't care that he will never be the world's best left back. As long as he keeps doing his thing to the best of his ability, I will admire him, and remember his better performances in the red and white fondly .... PS - my dad can beat your dad in a fight ...

It reminds me of when Red Star blew their budget on Eli and for some stupid reason PPL on here thought they were going to continue to let him play for Heart for development reasons. When in reality Red Star themselves are ranked 204th by UEFA (I just looked this up) and alongside a handful of decent sides spend most of their time playing against sides that not that much better than A-League clubs and in some cases def worse.

Those rankings are very misleading and dubious. From what I can gather they are solely based on a teams performance in European competitions and have no relation to a teams performance domestically.

I agree that they are not the greatest mate but they still show that playing Left Back for Bursaspor is not perhaps as great as an achievement as PPL around here like to make out.

Yet he is keeping an international out of the Starting XI, an international who has played over 50 times for Nigeria, isn't even 30 and has played for AC Milan & Marseille.
