Are you still in touch with traunmuller? If yes, does he want still to play for NZ and is he going back to Bayern Munich at the end of this season?
With Traunmuller currently unattached does anybody know if he is still in germany or did he go back to Austria? With him still eligible for NZ at the U20 for the next WC, I think he would have been an interesting option for the phoenix youth team as a RB(same than rowe who used to play in England)
thought this was a troll...!!
I paid for him (I'm his father).
Just googled Wellington Phoenix and found your thread...

Grumpy old bastard alert
Awesome! very keen to see how he does. Whats his english like? what has he done in the last year? can you provide a small background on your son please?
Dominik had a terrible streak of bad luck at Bayern - injured in the first week of practice, fought his way back into the team. A few weeks after he had established his place in the starting formation he suffered a torn syndesmosis (while playing Chelsea reserves) - surgery, crutches. Just back practicing, a fellow player jumped on his ankle - torn ligaments again.
Bayer U19 already had too many injured players, so they asked him to join Unterhaching near Munich, whose U19 played in the same league. Dominik played there for half a year, but got frustrated there and decided to play for SV Pullach (now playing Bayernliga, which is the fifth level in Germany), where we live, in order to finish high school.
This March he got a call from an agent in Australia asking him for a trial in Wellington, but he could not manage before the end of the season due to some paperwork, so he went last week. Let's see how this turns out.
So far about the last two years. I hope he has more luck in the future. I am Austrian, by the way, so my English is not perfect, as you will have noticed :)

His English is ok for someone who never lived in an english speaking country, but I am sure he will speak like a real Kiwi soon. He got NZ citizenship through his mother, who studied and lived in Christchurch before (born in Bangkok).

Normo's coming home
Dominik is very fast, and he plays a modern right or left back (in the attack for much of the time). He normally does very precise crosses. Central defense is not an option due to his size, but he also makes a good midfielder.
