I've heard some rumour here in Austria - to be honest from the player himself - that Newcastle United are interested in Austrian defender Sebastian Prödl. The 6ft 3in centre back is currently playing for Austria's Under 20 Team in Canada (U20 WC), who have reached the Quarter-Final. He's 20 years old and playing for Sturm Graz. He's already played twice for the senior national team and is Austria hottest prospect (in the defence). http://www.sksturm.at/content/page.asp?id=577 (here a link)

no, he was wearing the new training shirt. And he was in good mood.

@Tsunami: Might be but it's hard to believe as I left the camp in Stegersbach at 2 pm yesterday and martins was still on the training pitch... from there to graz or vienna airport it's 1 or 1 and 1/2 hour.... so he must be quick ...

Well, well my swiss friend - hopefully he won't join them - maybe he's looking for some tickets for the Euro 2008 in Switzerland/Austria

Big Sam and Big Al - doesn't sound bad, does it?
