Matt Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 Some info about him... he had trials with Arsenal and Real MadridTimpano spent his youth playing days at Fernhill and attended school at the Holy Spirit College in Ballambi. He was picked up by the Wollongong Youth Academy and his talents also gained him two years at the NSW Institute of Sport. While Timpano is now regarded as a central defender, it wasn't too long ago that he was a reputable striker. In fact he was the leading goalscorer in the National Youth League of 2001. Here's a something you can throw up at trivia night; Timpano has considerable upper body strength. At a regional christian high school athletics carnival, Timpano finished second in 14 year old boys discus, with a throw of 27.70. He also finished second in the shot put throwing 10.74. Initially breaking through the Wolves squad at the age of 16, he finished his NSL career with 30+ appearances. He is very unlucky not to be playing in Europe at the moment, as in 2003 he was invited for a trial with Arsenal and Real Madrid were also monitoring his progress but both clubs were scared off by FIFA rules which deny under 18's from working overseas without parental supervision. He has many international youth honours under his belt. He featured in the Under 16's Pacific Cup, captained the Joeys unsuccessful campaign at the Under 17's World Championships in England and has already been named in the Young Socceroos squad that will compete in the Oceania World Youth Championship Qualifiers. He stuck with Wollongong when the NSL finished and on the 4th of December 2004 was snapped up by Sydney FC. 131556[/snapback] :eek: Get the lad in quick before someone realises who he is! Sounds very good, I like defenders with an eye for goal. 131563[/snapback] If Arsenal and Real Madrid were interested, then it seems very promising.I can't say I've heard of him, but it could be that Levein's scouting could be starting to make some progress. 131581[/snapback] WOW - Arsenal and Real Madrid - Must mean he's wicked! There big clubs, but we're living and making opioins of other clubs, Arsenal and Real Madrid didn't sign him did they? Why was that? Because he wasn't good enough? Maybe it was maybe it wasn't no-one knows, but we're making opinions of what other clubs have been involed with, We should make decisions on what the players would be like a Leicester City Football Club not what players have done in the past, its nice to see what players hvae done and acheived in the past but we should make opinions and decisions on players because of what they have done/will do at LCFC! Obviously you can't make decisions of what players will do at LCFC if we havn't signed them but what i'm trying to say is we'e making desicions on his past, we're making decisions on this player on his past reputations...

Gené and Tonic Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 He never even had the trials, so they didn't get a chance to reject him! If you read carefully, it says they were scared off by FIFA's rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 but what i'm trying to say is we'e making desicions on his past, we're making decisions on this player on his past reputations... 131821[/snapback] Isn't every player bought on their past reputation??? Unless other teams have a crystal ball to see into the future. If real madrid signed Henry it's because of what he's done the previous season. Just because two of the best teams in europe didn't take him doesn't mean he isn't good enough for the english first division. It obviously means he has a bit of talent but not enough to win the champions league... and I can't see us being anywhere near doing that anytime soon!!!!

Maybe it was a bad season last season and this is only one example but Connolly - We signed him alot of people we're saying "He's the new Dickov" - "He'll score 20 goals easely next season" - "He will be the player to get us promoted" - We he really scored 20 goals didn't he? He really got us promoted didn't he? He really replaced Dickov didn't he? As I said its only one example I have gave there but all the original quotes about Connolly at the start of last season we're based on his past, none of them we're true last season we're they?! I hope Connolly does do all those things next season, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't look at his past until we see what he will do at LCFC? but surely his past will tell us that. 131824[/snapback] That one had me confused aswell , one minute he's saying we shouldn't judge him on what he's done, then one minute we should judge his past? :S :S 131826[/snapback] Any Excuse for a moan eh 131829[/snapback] Yep moaning Never opinions - Never my feelings over one topic - Never my views on a topic...always a "moan" 131830[/snapback] Spot on, best thing you've posted all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gené and Tonic Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 Just because two of the best teams in europe didn't take him They didn't even have a chance to reject him, as he never had the trials. So we could be making a real find here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 Some info about him... he had trials with Arsenal and Real MadridTimpano spent his youth playing days at Fernhill and attended school at the Holy Spirit College in Ballambi. He was picked up by the Wollongong Youth Academy and his talents also gained him two years at the NSW Institute of Sport. While Timpano is now regarded as a central defender, it wasn't too long ago that he was a reputable striker. In fact he was the leading goalscorer in the National Youth League of 2001. Here's a something you can throw up at trivia night; Timpano has considerable upper body strength. At a regional christian high school athletics carnival, Timpano finished second in 14 year old boys discus, with a throw of 27.70. He also finished second in the shot put throwing 10.74. Initially breaking through the Wolves squad at the age of 16, he finished his NSL career with 30+ appearances. He is very unlucky not to be playing in Europe at the moment, as in 2003 he was invited for a trial with Arsenal and Real Madrid were also monitoring his progress but both clubs were scared off by FIFA rules which deny under 18's from working overseas without parental supervision. He has many international youth honours under his belt. He featured in the Under 16's Pacific Cup, captained the Joeys unsuccessful campaign at the Under 17's World Championships in England and has already been named in the Young Socceroos squad that will compete in the Oceania World Youth Championship Qualifiers. He stuck with Wollongong when the NSL finished and on the 4th of December 2004 was snapped up by Sydney FC. 131556[/snapback] :eek: Get the lad in quick before someone realises who he is! Sounds very good, I like defenders with an eye for goal. 131563[/snapback] If Arsenal and Real Madrid were interested, then it seems very promising.I can't say I've heard of him, but it could be that Levein's scouting could be starting to make some progress. 131581[/snapback] WOW - Arsenal and Real Madrid - Must mean he's wicked! There big clubs, but we're living and making opioins of other clubs, Arsenal and Real Madrid didn't sign him did they? Why was that? Because he wasn't good enough? Maybe it was maybe it wasn't no-one knows, but we're making opinions of what other clubs have been involed with, We should make decisions on what the players would be like a Leicester City Football Club not what players have done in the past, its nice to see what players hvae done and acheived in the past but we should make opinions and decisions on players because of what they have done/will do at LCFC!

We shouldn't look at his past until we see what he will do at LCFC? but surely his past will tell us that. 131824[/snapback] No as I said it is nice to see what players have done in there past and what they have achieved BUT we have had it before looked at players pasts expected so much from players then they have just turned out flops... Maybe it was a bad season last season and this is only one example but Connolly - We signed him alot of people we're saying "He's the new Dickov" - "He'll score 20 goals easely next season" - "He will be the player to get us promoted" - We he really scored 20 goals didn't he? He really got us promoted didn't he? He really replaced Dickov didn't he? As I said its only one example I have gave there but all the original quotes about Connolly at the start of last season we're based on his past, none of them we're true last season we're they?! I hope Connolly does do all those things next season, who knows? 131828[/snapback] So we should sign players who haven't got any reputation?? No offence but you talk a load of old tripe mate. 131832[/snapback] None taken - Maybe its just me not being able to put it into words (bit pointless on a messageboard ) but I know in my head I have a valid point...Yes what Durnerz has said I'm not quite sure what you're on about, maybe what you're trying to say is we shouldn't get too excited about these new lads with big reps? But then whats the point in being a football fan, you just become boring. is more like what I am trying to say! Maybe you just become a boring football fan BUT so many people were "moaning" last season why was that?! Because prehaps people had set there expectations slightly too high!

Babylon Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 See what your saying. I agree but I don't think anyone was getting too carried away (yet! ha) Although if we sign him I think he'd be better than john terry.* *He says sarcasticly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gené and Tonic Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 Sure, Levein is confident. De Vries is working his hardest. Besides, the reason for him not playing well last season was due to the lack of fitness and a niggling injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnerz Posted 4 July 2005 Share Posted 4 July 2005 Zola had an average season when he was at Chelsea before his last season, and he did what De Vries is doing now and came back early for training and he was amazing in his last season. I'm confident De Vries can produce what he has up in Scotland this season for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
