Guest Neo Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Just had the SMS; should be on the main site soon. This is outrageous. For those without SMS service, Luke Wilkshire has been named in the Olympic squad. All players have been told that if they want to be included, they must join a pre-meet session which lasts from 8th April to 9th May; basically wiping him out for the season. Who do the Aus F.A. think they are? He was gone for 8 games or so only a few weeks back. Wasn;t happy in the 1st place with this purchase. Even more annoyed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dez_gimred Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 to be honest i dont think he'll be missed! australians playing football is the joke...oh its for the olympics...makes sense now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Whether he is missed is irrelevant surely? The fact is we invested serious money in a player who will miss about one third the season at least. I know it's Olympic year and all ther rest, however, Luke is young and wants to play for his country. I can see him getting pulled all ways in the future if he doesn't want to be left in the "wilderness". Why meet up so far befor ehte Olympics? Surely you should acclimatise (sp?) a fews weeks before?

Beezey Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 To be fair though Neo we cant play that card of having invested money etc as we knew full well when we signed him that he was likely to be taking park in the olympic games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br 1st ol Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I have been outspoken before about wenger and fergie moaning about call ups.... "If you dont like it, dont buy cheaper overseas players...." We were aware of his ozzie passport and his international aims were well documented when we bought him, so we cant complain now. Also, internationals come back better players, with hopefully improved reputations and therefore values... But we knew all this when we signed him....

RedM Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Solves Dannys selection problems though! maybe our transfer deadline day captures were because city knew this was likely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i'm glad somebody else got it. Don't understand why it isn't on the main site yet? It said shortly on the SMS; perhaps they're waiting until everybody knows already.

Guest dolminator Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Personally I think luke cares more about playing for Australia than he does for city. If he put the same effort in for us then maybe he'd be a half decent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
