All I remember is us dominating ccm the whole game at home and him retrieving the ball to get the ccm keeper to take the goal kick quickly and us coping a goal right after. Didn't see him play after that.

He had a great attitude - I always thought when JD told Maycon that he was cut it would of gone something like this:

 

Maycon, I like your hustle

[Maycon smiles]

JD: That's why it was so hard to cut you

FORMER HEART DEFENDER VRANKOVIC HEADING FOR HUNGARY

 

Former Melbourne Heart defender David Vrankovic is heading to Hungary try and resume his professional career by winning a contract with powerhouse club Ujpest FC

 

David Lewis

 

9 AUG 2014

 

 

The former Young Socceroos representative made 13 appearances for Heart in his debut season at the club in 2012-2013 but was demoted to the national youth league last season as Patrick Kisnorbo and Rob Wielaert took centre stage.

 

The 20 year old, who returned to former NSW Premier league club Bonnyrigg White Eagles in May after being released by Heart, flew to Europe on Saturday in a bid to prove to Ujpest coach Nebojsa Vignjevic that he has what it takes to win a deal with the 20-time Hungarian champion.

 

Vrankovic was one of four players seen a surplus to requirements by coach John van't Schip of the re-named Melbourne City at the end of last season - the others were Patrick Gerhardt, Sam Mitchinson and Jeremy Walker.

 

His agent, Melbourne-based Dragan Jevtic, declined to comment on Vrankovic's next career move.

 

The former Sydney FC and Newcastle Jets youth player was considered one of the most promising defenders in the country when he first signed with Heart back in 2012 but lack of first-team opportunities in a struggling side last season left him in limbo under first John Aloisi and his successor Van't Schip.

 

Ujpest lies fifth in the Hungarian top flight with four points from its first two games of the new season and Vignjevic is known to be looking for a centre-back to bolster his squad as the Hungarian Super Cup holder chases its first league crown since 1998.

 

Owned by Belgium electronics mogul Roland Duchatelet, who also controls Standard Liege and English Championship club Charlton Athletic, the club is seeking to recapture past glories which saw it reach the semi-finals of the European Cup in 1973 and the final of the Fairs Cup in 1969.

 

Duchatelet also owns FC Carl Zeiss Jena in Germany and AD Alcorcon in the Spanish second division and has entrusted the day-to-day running of Ujpest to his son.

Vince Grella apparently an agent now based in Italy. His clients include Josh Brillante, who of course is currently in the middle of an amazing rise from obscurity to possibly featuring quite regularly for a top Serie A side if preseason is anything to go by.

Knew his career would be destroyed under Aloisi, no chance of Socceroos call up.

Babalj got a brace playing for the AZ reserves/youth team:

 

Babalj brace builds case for Alkmaar first-team

 

19 August

 

Ben Somerford

 

 

Forgotten Australian striker Eli Babalj has pressed his case for a first-team opportunity with AZ Alkmaar after netting a double for their reserves side on Monday night.

 

The two-time Socceroo scored his side’s opening two goals either side of half-time in Jong AZ’s 5-2 thrashing of Jong Fortuna Sittard, which had Australian Andrew Marveggio also net a brace.

 

Babalj endured an injury-cursed first campaign in the Netherlands last term, with hernia and groin problems, but returned to fitness in pre-season.

 

The former Melbourne Heart man featured in a number of pre-season matches but has been overlooked by AZ boss Marco van Basten for their first two Eredivisie fixtures.

 

AZ have so far won 3-0 away to Heracles and lost 3-1 at home to Ajax on the weekend.

 

Babalj’s side are next in action away to 17th-placed Willem II on Saturday.

 

The 22-year-old’s last cap for Australia came back in December 2012 when he netted a double against Guam.

I wonder if they wrote these sort of articles in Malta about Mispud when he scored for the Youth Team...

Andrea Migliorini preparing for a big season with Delta Porto Tolle in Serie C2.

 

Rutger Worm currently playing at Achilles '29 in the Dutch Eerste Divisie. Guessing he is injured as he hasn't featured in their pre-season fixtures or the opening 2 games of the season. Achilles finished bottom last season with a record of 6W 7D 25L GF:40 GA:89

The way that bloke's bad man marking used to constantly allow players to run into space in the middle of the park to the edge of the box where they could shoot against a flat footed Redders really was the "Perfect Storm" of crap JA Coaching.

 

Good goal though. :up:

Does anyone know if Curtis Good has been involved in any practice games with newcastle?

 

He hasn't at any level..mainly due to fitness and I think he is still struggling with that injury. I expect him to be loaned to a Doncaster type club in the next year and sold for less than 1mil before his contracts up.

Rutger Worm made his debut for Achilles '29 overnight, coming off the bench at half time with Achilles trailing Telstar 1-0, they lost the game 2-0 to remain pointless after 3 games.

I still take full credit for ruining this man's career :up:
