Rumour that he's about switch International allegiance from Finland to Iraq.

A chance for him to play at the World Cup, if true.

As an aside.

Clubs earn around 15,000 dollars a day from FIFA, for every day they are involved in the World Cup.

Could be a welcome bit of extra income for the club between Naamo and Randall being involved.

Any of the Australian boys going Tek ?

Doesn't look like it.

Sapsford seemed close to Aussie squads back around last Xmas but i'd imagine his 2026 form has killed that chance stone dead.

Only other player who has perhaps a slim chance to sneak into a World Cup squad might be Emmanuel Agyei, but not sure how big a squad Ghana are taking. He must certainly be on their radar, however.

Cheers Tek.
Looked up Randall, Wiki says he's played 9 games for NZ.

Pity Ireland's not going because pretty sure Ferry would have got the call based on recent performances.

On the plus side at least we haven't signed an Australian goalkeeper in the hope of a World Cup windfall.

Do we definitely get the Randall cash? ie is he technically already our player in June?

According to transfermrkt he's contracted to Auckland till June 30th. So, presumably becomes our player on July 1st.

New Zealand could well be out the World Cup by then, so unfortunately that money will probably go to Auckland.

Wondered that, Bugger.

NZ can go on list I'm backin alongside Croatia, Panama, Ghana and Iran ( If Don disnae find a way tae replace Iran wi Don Corleones slimebags. )

M'well up for a few thou on Just

Called up by Ghana for their friendly against Mexico.

Happy for him, he’s been great for us and i really like his attitude. Hopefully he does well and gets called up for the actual event, would be weird seeing him play against England. Good money for the club if he makes it aswell.

Agyei vs Bellingham in a midfield battle, Agyei would have him😆

Although he has indeed been called up, it's essentially a B squad of young players and new caps as it is outside an official international window. So he's probably still some distance from the WC squad, but if he does well you never know.

Yeah, i can see him not even getting a chance on the pitch even if that is also the circumstance. Never know though, hopefully he gets 30 minutes or a half to try and prove himself a worthy candidate.
