|
The season so far: |
|
Golden Eagles FC have had a strong showing in division one since |
|
their promotion from the second division. Although they started |
|
off the season a bit ropey, losing twice and being 6 points |
|
adrift of top spot after only a hand-full of game. However, they |
|
quickly turned things around and went on a 9 game unbeaten run |
|
until losing to Manchester United just before the break. They |
|
now sit a in a respectable 5th place, only 3 points from leaders |
|
Sarnians in what is certainly a close top half of the table. |
|
Meanwhile, in the cup competitions, they have made it to the |
|
third round of the EA KO Cup and will face Rael Nerrad in a |
|
couple of weeks. While in the X-Box League Cup, they finished |
|
top of their group and move onto the round of 16, where they |
|
face a double header against Darlington All Stars. |
|
Stand out Stars: |
|
Portuguese winger, Diog Guillems (signed from Helsinki |
|
Hellhounds) has certainly been one of the best signings of the |
|
season so far in division one, racking up 13 goals in 19 starts |
|
from midfield. |
|
Kai Matsumoto (signed from Nikara Dragons) has also been another |
|
brilliant signing with 25 key tackles and 24 key passes, |
|
Japanese defender was a long term target of Dave Rosewell's |
|
after impressing during season 3 and we can see why he rated him |
|
highly. |
|
Young Filipino midfielder Angelo Nazari has also has a great |
|
first half of the campaign with 50 key passes and 9 assists. |
|
Meanwhile upfront, Russian striker Pavel Chernyshev has scored |
|
15 goals in 17 games, continuing his fine scoring form. |
|
Ins and Outs: |
|
The last few days of the mid-season break have been pretty busy |
|
for Eagles and there are some big surprises with the likes of |
|
Eric Van Oist and Jack Groves both leaving the club! |
|
Eric Van Oist has struggled a little for form this season, |
|
although he has managed to provide 21 key passes and 3 assists, |
|
defensively he just hasn't been as sharp as last season. So |
|
Eagles have bought in Frenchman Dustan Huevo from champions and |
|
rivals Rael Nerrad, with Van Osit and �15,000,000 going the |
|
other way. Huevo has been mighty since being signed from the |
|
pre-season auction and could really boost Eagles already |
|
formidable defence. He has been given the number 4 jersey and |
|
should start against Darlington All Stars tomorrow. |
|
Englishman Jack Groves and his strike partner Pavel Chernyshev |
|
have had a rocky relationship, they just haven't been able to |
|
gel. A rift also developed between himself and manager Dave |
|
Rosewell after he was hauled off against Man United in week 13. |
|
In his place, Dave Rosewell has bought in Davy Hanna from Artic |
|
Storm which has certainly raised some eyebrows, but Hanna has |
|
scored 15 goals himself so far this season and his playing style |
|
should match Chernyshev's better. Jack Groves goes the other |
|
way, as does Ady Tupperman, while James Avery joins Hanna at |
|
Eagles. It doesn't look likely that this deal will be done |
|
before tomorrow's games however, but should be completed before |
|
next Wednesday's league cup match. It looks like Hanna will be |
|
given the number 10 shirt, while Avery will get number 25. |
|
Finally, it looks that Spencer Mason (who has struggled for game |
|
time) is also rumoured to be on his way out, but this is |
|
currently unconfirmed. |
