Patrick Yazbek has transferred from Viking FK in Norway to Nashville SC in the MLS.

Mat Ryan played the second half for Roma in a friendly and was the better keeper from reports.

Garang Kuol is with the Newcastle squad for their preseason friendlies.

Is it better for Yazbekbti go to USA than playing in Norway?

Is it better for Yazbekbti go to USA than playing in Norway?

It's a sideways move. There are arguments for both and it comes down to how you rate the leagues. I prefer Norway personally. It's probably not a big deal for the NT because Yazbek isn't in our best squad, though he is handy depth if we have injuries.

Jacob Farrell to Portsmouth is confirmed. A very solid move. He'll link up with ex-teamate Silvera on the left. Also joins up with Yengi.

Irankunda scored for Bayern in a 1-1 draw. Admittedly the only first team player apparently on the pitch when he came on after an hour was Gnabry. He has apparently started well over there and the Bayern fans think they might have a player on their hands.

Nisbet is rumoured to be heading to Ross County in the SPL.

Mo Toure scored for Randers. A great run, pace to beat the defence and first time finish.

It's possible Irankunda stays with the senior team and gets sub minutes this year.

Robertson to Cardiff.

Maybe chill, it was against the equivalent of a VPL side.

Alex Robertson has made a permanent move to Cardiff. The championship is a good level and it's time he got senior experience.

Irankunda did well v Tottenham too. Apparently will be training with the senior squad through pre-season and likely staying through the season. Sure it's early days but that's very promising from a 19yo.

Surely Ajdin Hrustic just sticks to his club in Netherlands, just so he can keep just getting a full season under his belt

Hrustic's loan has come to an end and it wasn't extended. He's technically back at Verona but they've frozen him out of training apparently. So he needs to move. Would love that to be back to the Eredivisie which gets the best out of him. But rumours are Palermo and Modena.

I actually didn't know he was loaned out, I thought he was sold to heracles

Why the frozen him out from training?

It'd be to force a move if I guessed.

Nisbet to Ross County confirmed.

Hmmmmm ,I don't mind players going to play in Scotland, but the problem is there is only 2 contenders in Celtic and Rangers...
Rather him going to England Championship, but from what iv read there a but concern on his height

The Championship would have been great but I doubt was an option for him. It's probably the 6th best league in the world behind the big 5 so a tough one to crack.

I think the biggest query on the move is that Scotland outside of Rangers and Celtic is a tough hoofball league. Nisbets a short technician. It's an awkward fit.

That said good on him for having a crack. It might not be the best club or league but if you're good enough you make it work. I hope he kills it.

Yengi and M. Toure are both injured atm which is bad for the Socceroos.

Bennie (LF) getting sub minutes for QPR ss a 19yo is massive news. Championships mins at that age is tough to do.

Irankunda got an assist for Bayern in a pre-season game. Won the ball high up the pitch, drove to goal, was fouled (not blown) but recovered his feet, to square it up for an easy goal for a teammate. Getting a lot of praise from Bayern fans.

Souttar captained Sheffield to a win over Wrexham I think in a cup game.

A lot of other action happening but they're the stuff I found most intrresting. .

 

[Quicky]

Also Stamatelopolous is injured. Rotten luck for our overseas strikers.

Luongo started and was subbed at 64' for Ipswich v Liverpool. He had a really good game as a DM. A great block, some solid clean tackles, technically sound on the ball.

Worried he'll drop out once Phillips arrives

Nisbet to Ross County confirmed.

Don't see that as a real step up from the Mariners tbh. Can't imagine the money will be great either. Bit of a sideways move.
