Scored a hat trick and got an assist for Rapid Vienna in a 4-0 win against Slovan Bratislava tonight. Yes I know, who cares, not our player etc, etc.
He wanted back home & seems comfortable being a bigger fish in a small pond. Would have been harder to make a name in England. Some players just need that. He’s been at, and let go from, Bayern and Inter. Clearly a very talented lad but he’s coming into his peak years and is still playing in Austrian league. I hope he gets picked up by a big European club for millions and we get a nice fat slice. It looks like one of those signings that could have been great, but with hindsight just wasn’t the right fit.
Brought his life over here, wasn't repaid with game time, left as he wants to play regular first team football, and now like Malan showing us what we are missing.
Mallan scored a couple of goals against a bunch of fishermen. It's not exactly tearing League One up.
That's true. Hard to believe we'd have not done better the other night with them two playing as fringe players though.
Really? I was excited by both signings. No idea about Knasmullner. But saw mallan in his first team outings and in U23s. There’s something about him that just didn’t look good enough. We’ll have to wait and see but scoring a few free kicks against non league teams doesn’t prove a huge loss yet. I also have my doubts about McGeehan. Even though he did well in L2 it may take him some time to get form and fitness up for L1. Hopefully he’ll improve.
