    I don't think the loan deal went through, he's not listed on Senica's roster.

    To add to that, he played in a recent friendly of the FCN U23 team against lower league FC Bad Kohlgrub. FCn won 10-1 and George scored 1 goal.

    I'm guessing the loan will take place later, but who knows?

    There was an article in the local AZ newspaper that George will stay in Nürnberg. Seems to be true since he's still there.

    He scored a goal for the Nurnberg 2nd team today in a 1-0 victory over Buchbach.

    What seems to be the knock on George? Is it just his attitude or is it something else? He seems to score frequently (I know it's the 2nd team).

    Damn.. There have been hints at an attitude throughout the thread but I'm surprised FCN booted him. Maybe a message needed to be sent and this is a wake up call to George. I hope he pulls his head out his butt and realizes that nothing is given despite your talent. You have to wonder how long he'll be unattached or if his 'tude problem will scare to others off and basically blacklist him.

    I don't know anything about the culture of German sports, but in America, he would be picked up in a second.

    He will probably be picked by a small RL club. Bigger clubs won't be interested, he doesn't seem to be anything special; expect offers from the likes of Viktoria Aschaffenburg, VfL Frohnlach or FC Memmingen.

    Google translate says "for some time as a problem gambler"... is that just a bad translation?

    Yes. Problemspieler = difficult player. spieler can also mean gambler.

    Well then that is one positive to take out of this, at least he's not a gambling addict!

    From what little I've seen, I don't even think he's that good. Perhaps he has talent somewhere, but it's not so screamingly obvious as to make his BS worth the headache, in my opinion.

    Where've you seen him? He hasn't played in any US youth games has he?

    Disagree. He is a smart player plus he has the physical tools to match it. He was best player in Nurnberg II. But enough was enough with his temper.

    A club will pick him up, and he will either get the message or his career will never take off. And he will be kicking himself for the next 20 years on how he could have been in the Nurnberg First team and making it, rather than being dropped.

    Yea we've been hearing that he's a pretty decent talent for a while now. Hecking had him in the first team plans or w/e....blah blah blah

    They don't all turn out to be Thomas Dooley, Earnie Stewart, Danny Williams or Fabian Johnson.

    Talent is there. Head unfortunately never was, and in the end Nürnberg decided to cut their losses. Bit sad because he had been at the club since a really young age. Oh well, perhaps 1860 and their excellent youth work can sort him out.
