Aussie Players In The News Overseas
Qantas Socceroo striker Mark Viduka today completed his £4.5million move to Middlesbrough, while fellow national team members Tim Cahill and Craig Moore were also in the news.
Cahill will join fellow Qantas Socceroo Tony Popovic at Palace, although Popovic is waiting on a work permit being granted, after agreeing to a new two-year deal. Despite the agreement between the two clubs, the 24-year-old Cahill has yet to agree personal terms and pass a medical. The news however for incumbent Australian captain Craig Moore is not so good, after Rangers decided to place their central defender on the transfer list. Moore, who was already stripped of his club captaincy, is set to play with the Australian Under 23 team at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, much to the displeasure of his Rangers coach Alex McLeish.
