ditty Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 German magazine Kicker reports that Marcel de Jong has stated his wish to extend his contact at FC Augsburg of the 1. Bundesliga. The brief article also stated that de Jong has offers in Belgium and the Netherlands, but staying at Augsburg is his first priority. He's rarely featured this season in the surprising Augsburg team that have gone from being tipped for relegation at the beginning of the season to being on the verge of a Europa League place going into the last match of the season.

I really wonder why he would want to rot away on the bench during perhaps his last great few years as a pro athlete. Maybe he married a local gal. Or maybe he values league quality as number one.

WheatsheafSK Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I really wonder why he would want to rot away on the bench during perhaps his last great few years as a pro athlete. Maybe he married a local gal. Or maybe he values league quality as number one. On the other hand, if Augsburg gets Europe next season, they will need more depth in the squad and there will be more opportunities for de Jong. The fact that he has been a constant on the bench and has been substituted in several times during Augsburg break out year says a lot. It is difficult for a trainer to shift the backline when the squad is firing on all cylinders (hey - they defeated Bayern). Who knows what the coaches are telling him, but he must sense there is some future there. Going to the Netherlands or Belgium at this stage of his career is not really a step up - both are great leagues for development but they tend to favour youth over experience (with the exception of the elder statesmen in the squad).

(Note: Before any Italian football fan comments, yes I am aware that it will not be called Lega Pro very soon, and that Savona may be promoted as well, but I will wait until season end to update these things.

madmonte Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 There are a TONNE of Canadians that were, only two years ago, seemingly on their way to stardom, and looking solidly employed. Some, like Jackson, will have little trouble getting further employment, I hope. For others who are already released, or destined to be released, they may not see the pitch again. Hence my sad face over Dunfield, as an example. Edgar never was super solidly employed by Burnley, but at times for the CMNT seemed our most talented defender on the ball, at least. I truly hope he gets picked up, he has good qualities...at times when I watch him, the biggest thing he lacks in hustle, which is crucial for a defender, (or a central holding mid as well). I could be wrong, though, I haven't seen him much outside of the CMNT. But overall I like his game and hope he gets on somewhere. Thanks for the update.

Fussball_eh Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Shockingly, Samuel Piette's contract at Fortuna Duesseldorf II was not extended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 That is shocking. Renegotiating perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Very strange. You have to think that was his decision, otherwise why would Dusseldorf give minutes to a young foreign player late in the season. I see he played the full match for FD II yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fussball_eh Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I have been reading the Fortuna fan forum and they are just as pissed off as we are. They would have loved to keep him on. He really has impressed a lot of the German fans. Rumour has it that Sam wanted a professional contract, but that the club was only prepared to keep him in the second team with some playing time for the first team. But once again, this is pure speculation. I have no source that backs this, although it sounds reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 perhaps I missed this, but did Kevin McKenna recently retire from professional football? His German wikipedia states: On May 5, 2014 McKenna announced after the expiry of his contract in Cologne, his career ended June 30, 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Too bad he didn't get a contract in Duesseldorf, but there's no need to panick. He will be signed by another D2 or maybe D3 team, which is perfect for him to play in. I don't really understand it from the club's point of view, if they could him loose. But it could also mean he has a nice offer in hand already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Okay, I'm losing McKenna and Piette from Germany on the list...Piette will appear again somewhere, not sure if McKenna will. He spent a LOT of time in Cologne, and I'm thinking being done there, for him, might mean being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Impact! Please no. I don't want Samuel at the Impact. They would ruin him and I doubt that the Impact likes him after he chose to not play for their Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 FC Edmonton! Have him as the pivot man for Boakai and, um, we need a Canadian right winger for that team. Someone ring Fraser Aird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
