Strange didn't try and leave....assuming window is closed now?

Think it's a contractual issue that he's signed with Perth. Very certain he will be leaving Perth at seasons end. Rumour is we again can't sign him back due to some contract arrangement... He's either going to have to try get another A-League gig or ends up in the NPL

For anyone interested Metcalfe's adventure in the Bundesliga2 is making progress.

For the first half of the season he was mostly an off the bench option, used primarily as a attacking mid although had a pretty good cup game at right back due to injuries in the squad. Anyway St Pauli were having a shit run and sacked their coach over the long break, which is usually terrible news for Australian overseas, but the replacement started Metcalfe in all their warm up games and he has started in both league games this year. 

I would say he is playing that attacking mid/wing role but it's more like Leckie does where he doesn't really get near the touchline and more tries to play through or past his opponent with his control at feet and good passing interplay. He struggled to get into it last week although had some moments before subbed off about the 60th minute, but this week he was pretty involved, scored a ripper goal (that was initially ruled out for offside before VAR intervened) that was similiar to RVV's lob a week ago, and from an offside position managed to assist another (disallowed) goal before being subbed in maybe the 70th minute.

The side has won both it's games with this new lineup which bodes well for him going forward. Fwiw there's about to be a hole open up in the lineup for an attacking LB who can carry the ball. 

Goal here (offside assist about 4:09)

Someone who should move or come home is Denis Generau. Only 88 mins so far this season. Hasn't been in the team at Toulouse since 11 December. Troyes had a decent draw against Lens who are second this weekend. 26 percent possession is not from the CFG handbook

Back from injury

To cop 4 against mid table team away is very worrying. 

Its pretty much his last chance next match at home to Montpelier 2 points above. They lose they are gone.

Maybe it was a bridge too far. 

Yeah either he's inherited a poor squad. Or just isn't quite upto making the step up to a more challenging league.

Being found out perhaps...

Yes, let's be fair, we don't know what the Troyes squad is like. That said, PK has a management style that might not suit French football.

Word on the street, not all the players liked him as he was a bit of a c@nt. So the board politely asked him to leave...

I have no doubt that he was "hard" but the rabble that PG were needed strong discipline. So he must have exceeded the boundaries by a lot.
