Andy, Let's be realistic, Jacob isn't going to the World Cup, no matter who he plays for. Somebody should tell him this before he moves to Poland. Aussies beat Bahrain 3-1 yesterday. He wasn't called up for that heavily depleted squad, he isn't going to get into the World Cup squad.
God, can you imagine Warnock saying something similar!</p> Bloody hell hed tell him to sod it - the Club and team would come first</p> Can't believe Ritchie said that.</p>
He has no chance. Australia have more options in midfield than anywhere else on the pitch and he certainly isn't in the top 10. Now obviously I don't talk to Mr Hiddink on a daily basis so can't swear it's true, but trust me, there are plenty of better options available for Guus to call upon.
Thats what I would figure as well. Wisla must surely be a step up from League 1 though.</p> I suspect they will probably pay more as well.</p> Burnsy might be showing a bit of ambition.</p>
