Zagreb Outloans Completed For Now
Dinamo Zagreb today announced that 4 of its players had gone on loan at three different clubs. Manager Cole mentioned that no other player would be allowed to leave on loan until perhaps later in the season.
"We've reached our maximum number of outloans already and besides our squad is looking quite thin by our usual standards. I had trouble finding 11 names to put on our teamsheet for today's home friendly."
Zagreb is to play today against Norweigian side Brann, in it's annual two-legged tourney. Last season, Zagreb reserves totally whitewashed their opponents and won the inaugral Challenge Trophy. However, today's match pits Cole against two of his youngsters on loan at Brann, Finnish striker Joonas Siikala, who had found it hard breaking into the first team at Zagreb, and 19 year old Brazillian centreback Fabricio Frohlich, who looks to have a promising future ahead of him.
Earlier, young hotshot winger Josko Kurtovic completed his loan move over to division rivals Paris St Germain. Kurtovic has long been seen as one of Zagreb's hottest properties, though he has yet to break into the first team. Last season saw some outstanding displays from the Croatian wunderkid at Brann but it looks like he'll have to gain more experience before challenging for a first team place at Zagreb.
Defender Roy Keane also completed his one month loan move to Montreal Impact today, in view of securing a permanent deal. It looks like Keane's days at Zagreb are numbered after a row with manager Cole about his playing opportunities. Keane was reportedly said to be furious at the fact that Cole was still looking for one or two more quality defenders. When asked, Manager Cole responded sombrely, "We had a few words today yeah. Besides, I had enough of his whining too about wanting to go over to America... Seems Zagreb's not warm enough for him at the moment (it's 1°C and his balls are freezing) so the players got together and pooled money for him to take the early flight out. Now, we can finally have peace and quiet and take the earplugs out before training."
