Just like when you join any new team - especially if there's no one you know; takes a while to form friendships and settle in.
Keegan Smith was plucked out of school to play A League by a nut job coach and it was highly questionable whether Smith had the skill in the first place.
I still say Keegan blowing a kiss to a Smurf penalty taker was one of the classic moments.

Take my this for that trip down memory lane
I really hope the Nix got in some good strings with Singh's transfer as I feel he was let go far too cheaply. Am sure he will play 1st XI footie this season.
Looks like he has been included in Bayern's Audi Cup squad, so might add Fenerbahçe and Spurs to the list of clubs he has faced this pre-season.
This Singh at Bayern thing is totally surreal. And it gets more surreal every day. There are Youtube clips of Singhs individual highlights against Arsenal that are currently running at 688,841 hits with nearly a thousand comments.(and they cant all be his Mum)
When Singh was signed by Bayern I thought he would disappear into the reserve side and maybe after a year or two might be seen in a cup game for the first team. Now he's had more minutes preseason than any of the other reserve players and has not looked out of place against major world clubs.
For me what makes it even more surreal is he has come in from his A-League base and with only a few weeks training in Germany is running out at a top level. I thought that he would need a full season at least with the reserves to get his physical conditioning right and to learn the Bayern way. Not saying he will get much/any first team action this season but what he has done already is extraordinary.
This is such a cool story...probably the highlight of my 12 years as a Nix supporter

Yep, agreed - is the most feel good story to come out of the Nix in..ever.

Disagree, we got a decent fee for him if you compare it to others - i.e. Amini from CCM got, what, 200k from Dortmund?
Unfortunately in these situations we don't have a whole lot of leverage. Imagine if we forced Singh to stay and what that would do to other prospects thinking about coming to us..
If he comes back to the A-League which is highly possible, do you think he will want to come back to the Nix or ignore like Rojas and head to one of the big clubs.

I assume you're talking about the end of his career or you really are on the complete other end of the pessimism <-> optimism scale than everyone else.
But Rojas left the A-League from the Victory, he returned to his old club when he came back.

On for Coman in the 62nd minute
Almost scored, hit the keepers head. Mueller explained him after the game how to do it next time.

Damn, I find this out after the game has finished :(
Singh makes his home debut for Bayern in the Audi Cup. Amazing for the kid to run out on that famous stadium. He was the first non injury replacement...Muller had come on at 25 minutes to replace an injured player.
Had a quietish game but did his job...got into good positions and made his passes. Almost scored on the 77 minute mark..got into a nice position on the left and slammed a shot at goal...unluckily the keeper saved it with his face...LOL
Bayern started with their big guns and had mauled Fenebache 5-1 by half time.
It will be interesting to see if he gets game time in the final against Spurs.....hard to believe I just wrote that!!!!
Singh to score the winning goal against Spurs. I would love that for many reasons!!
Singh mashing the keeper in the face:

Yes, but you made it seem like he left the nix to go overseas then returned to another club when in fact he'd played more for the Victory by the time he left the A-League for the first time than he ever did for the Nix.

not even a close comparison.
Singh - Nix product and only recently left for Bayern.
Wood - Kiwi who has been in England fro years, never a nix product - doing what he always has.

Burnley - average premier league side
Bayern - glamour club, 5 times European champions, most successful club in Germany, 4th biggest revenue in world football
Slightly off topic, but this has always bugged me.
In English the city is Munich and the region is Bavaria. In German the city is München and the region is Bayern. Why do we call them Bayern Munich? Why is half in English and half in German? Why isn't it Bavaria Munich or Bayern München?
They have all this millions german kids playing football and Singh is on the bench, they must love him.
If he is on the bench on saturday game against Dortmund I’ll go nuts.

Soccerway have it correct.
Love Soccerway.

Who cares how many likes, tweets, or imaginary social media friends Wood got verus Singh.
I'm just very much looking forward to them playing in an AWs side together.
Throw in young developing players like McCowatt, Collier, Just, Waine, a hopefully more confident/settled Rojas, a recovered Thomas....the future looks bright.

I think the general convention is not to translate the name of the club, but if needed, to use the name of the place they come from in English. This also explains the Roma/Torino/Milan situation in Italy, and Atletico/Athletic in Spain. The other example I thought of is Red Star, which back in the day was referred to by the English translation outside of Serbia, but these days is referred to as Crvena Zvezda, so the club's actual name, even in English media.
