Gian-Luca Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Nice to see that Belotte will get to play some games. Even the wolf can learn. Even the sheep can turn. Even the frog can become at last the prince. - Peter Hammill, Over (1977) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeffery S. Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Our youngsters start tomorrow in a friendly, still don't know who the rival might be. Team has been down there for a few days now. This is going to be a key test as we warm up for the World Cup and look to make things more competitive for the players who qualified us. I am especially keen to see Wyn get back on track. Have heard from Srdjan that he signed with a new team in 2nd div Serbia, hoping to get more playing time. So no longer with Radnicki Obrenovac. But still not sure exactly what the side is, a bit of confusion about team names in Serb. With Rayner out of a team and Fernandes searching too, perhaps Srdjan can break into the squad if he's playing this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
