Can anyone shed light on this mystery? Two Israeli players claiming to have recently arrived be from Tel Aviv have been spotted around the training ground by a friend of mine here in Chester le Street. Apparently here on a trial one is a smallish white lad who spoke with a German accent and said he was originally on the books of SC Frieburg in Germany before moving to Israel. The other was a stocky very muscular black lad, he also had a German accent, but said he too was and Israeli. Any thoughts?

Yeah, there was an Austrian triallist a few weeks ago. Tall, skinny lad.

At the same time as we hear that Acuna's Israeli agent is insisting on suing the club......what a coincidence....
