Hi The camp will run from June 25th to July 31 at Utech and NWC
with a special camp planned for the south coast.
Alvas Powell like any other player wanting to come and attend the camp and show what he is capable of is welcome to attend but spaces are limited as we want to get full immersion into what they players need to learn to make it as a pro and also for the younger ones to have solid focused attention on them and their growth needs and development of the true love for the game.

We will be on News-talk tonight Monday speaking about the camp as well.

All of the forum i am proud to say Kyle and Leon will leave this weekend to officially take up residence at their NEW HOUSE IN GENK Belgium.. not too bad for two fourteen year old island boys Huh! your love and support keeps them motivated don't stop!

Elfmeterschiessen for November 9
Posted on November 9, 2011 by Luke

-The Magic 8 ball may make an appearance tomorrow when Arjen Robben is expected to return to team training. It’s a little too early to project him into the squad for Dortmund, but for those who thought the team lacked an offensive spark in Augsburg, you can officially get excited.

-Mario Gomez did not participate in team training with the DFB on Wednesday, but his availability for the match against Ukraine in Kiev on Friday is not in question. More capsules and media listings for Bayern internationals on Thursday.

-If you’re an Usami lover, this extended Japanese TV report is for you. Just don’t ask me to translate it.

-With a squad composed mostly of U19 players, FC Bayern Munich II won a Tuesday friendly over FC Unterföhring by a score of 5:1. Perhaps the most encouraging sign was that long-injured Sebastian Dreier got his first action of the new season in the match.

Reports on Wednesday indicated that the Grünwalder Stadion (known to the die-hards as the Hermann Gerland Kampfbahn [battlefield]), will undergo a 10 million Euro renovation next season, meaning FC Bayern II and the U19 team would need a temporary new home for 2012-13. Youth coordinator Werner Kern says an agreement to play about 20km away at Sportpark Heimstetten is in place, but has not been finalized.

-One player who might have played in the Unterföhring friendly but missed it was Patrick Weihrauch. That’s because he was called up to Germany’s U18 team, now coached by ex-Bayern player and ‘Gladbach sporting director Christian Ziege. The German squad defeated Italy 2-1 in a friendly match on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Weihrauch’s goal for the Bayern U19s over the weekend was mysteriously left out of the weekly highlight video..somebody’s camera battery ran low?
A few leftover thoughts from the weekend:

-Fans clamoring for Toni Kroos to fall back in the formation ought to be given pause by the fact that..well, he doesn’t really think that’s the best solution. “I’m of the opinion that as little as possible should change” says Bayern’s #39, while assuring that he’ll do whatever is asked.

-Bayern players often receive the criticism from fans of other clubs that they’re just a bunch of mercenaries without any real leadership and without any real heart. They play into the stereotype in matches like Sunday’s victory in Augsburg. But until Uli Hoeness makes a major investment in an artificial intelligence start-up it’s a silly assertion: these players are as human as the next team. But you can see how folks wearing unfortunately dotted or blue shirts get to this half-truth.

-A strong team wins matches when it’s not playing its best–that’s true enough. But only fortunate ones win matches in which their challenge was met at least halfway. Sunday’s match reminded me of a whole slew of matches from the 2006-07 season, in which Bayern skated by on one brilliant moment from one brilliant player or another. But not even Ottmar Hitzfeld could cover up the warts in that squad, and a 4th place finish that season still probably flattered them. Don’t fear a repeat-the current squad is missing several key players after all, but it’s a much more talented one at its core.

-In the classic case of the stats lying, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk had his worst match as a Bayern player on Sunday. Tymoshchuk missed on only 3 passes all game, but that’s probably also the number of passes he made that went forward. He’ll be punished by going away for a while, after being handed a 3 match ban for his wild challenge in match’s dying minutes, pending Bayern’s appeal. It’s a major disappointment that the veteran’s performance was devoid of leadership, especially when his midfield partner might have benefited from a calming influence.

-And as far as leadership is concerned, how are you feeling about Philipp Lahm’s captaincy when a 2nd straight match comes to a close with teammates in the throes of an intense argument?

-The problem with David Alaba isn’t so much that he didn’t sufficiently replace Bastian Schweinsteiger as much as that he isn’t Bastian Schweinsteiger. The changes Heynckes made to the attack after the two opening matches of the season happened the way they did exactly because they fit the capabilities of Schweinsteiger. I’m not sure 3 days nor 3 weeks is enough to fashion an approach with different personnel that will be as effective. I don’t fear another start from Alaba at the position-I fear a lack of improvement once he’s had more time to work through the huge task being asked of him. It’s not his fault the next match happens to be against Dortmund either.

-Daniel van Buyten’s passing ability has been grossly underestimated all season, and his ability was on display again Sunday. But van Buyten needs to do the things he’s supposed to be good at, it’s as simple as that. You can point your finger at a couple other players on Augsburg’s goal too, but here again we had van Buyten, the biggest man on the pitch, losing one man and crumpling to the ground when the man he does pick up goes up for the ball. Van Buyten has been the biggest beneficiary of the Heynckes approach, and rarely gets left on an island to have losing footrace after losing footrace anymore. The play apparently didn’t go into the stat sheet as a lost duel, but maybe that’s because the effort was so poor to call it a duel would have been too generous.

-Jupp Heynckes’ decision to roll Tymoshchuk to right back in the 2nd half was not devoid of merit. Getting the already-carded Rafinha off the pitch was a necessity, and the right side of the Bayern formation was going to be more familiar with its defensive responsibilities than the left, meaning the right fullback would be better protected. It looked unorthodox, but with Boateng out of the picture, Heynckes didn’t have much choice.

Hey Luke, have you heard about us signing a Jamaican named Kevaughn Atkinson supposedly over the weekend? He played for USK Aniff II in Austria and will join in January.

Bumy, I did find one other thing--one of the players for USK Anif's 1st team is Manuel Duhnke--he was formerly in the Bayern system, and of course his brother Marius still is. So, there's an existing connection between the clubs.
So, the story may hold up, but I'll reiterate that I would be shocked if he was given a 5 year contract.

I know nothing about it. I found the story that you must have seen, which is kind of sketchy. It's possible he's a kid they're bringing into the U-19 team, but he's not on the radar of any scouts I know. I would fall off my chair if he's actually been given a 5 year contract however.

'pending Bayern’s appeal.' I thought I read FCB was not going to contest the ban. Must have been a bad translation.

Jamaican youngsters to join Ajax - Butler
Published: Thursday | January 12, 2012 0 Comments


Leighton Levy, Gleaner Writer

This latest agreement follows on the heels of two other Jamaican teens who have reportedly been signed to other super clubs in recent times through the efforts of Butler, Anif and the Phoenix Academy. Romario McKnight reportedly signed a three-year deal with French giants Lille in November last year. The 16-year-old former student of Calabar High School also played for Anif under Butler's guidance and was the second teen from that club who had been picked by a powerful European soccer club.

Two weeks prior to McKnight's signing, another Calabar High student, KeVaughn Atkinson, signed a five-year deal with German giants Bayern Munich.

Below are all the winter & spring transfers of Lille FC, but Romario McKnight's name is not on it. He supposedly sign a 3 year contract his name should be on this list Craig.

Explain to us Craig what the deal is....

I'm pretty certain that list only involves first and reserve team transfers whereas McKnight would've probably signed schoolboy/academy terms at his age.

Hi The camp will run from June 25th to july 31 at Utech and NWC with a special camp planned for the south coast.
Alvas Powel like any other player wanting to come and attend the camp and show what he is capable of is welcome to attend but spaces are limited as we want to get full imersion into what they players need to learn to make it as a pro and also for the younger ones to have solid focussed attention onn them and their growth needs and developmwent of the true love for the game.

I hope so...still Craig need fi clear up the speculations and tell us the nature of these contracts and why followers of these clubs don't know anything about acquisitions.
