Sosin leaves Apollon

Lukasz Sosin is staying in Cyprus, but with a new club - Anorthosis with whom he has signed a three-year contract. He has been in Cyprus since 2002 with Apollon Limassol and has done very well since coming over. However, this move has angered many Apollon fans who felt he betrayed them by breaking his word and choosing an opposing club. For the rest of us who do not live in Cyprus or follow the league, this appears to be non consequential, but judging from the responses it will be interesting to say the least when Sosin returns to Limassol as the enemy.

Kuszczak to be loaned out to Sunderland

Tomasz Kuszczak's tenure at Manchester United is not going quite as planned. The club plans to loan him out to Sunderland. Apparently van der Sar has fallen out of favour in Man U and it will likely make the returning Ben Foster (was on loan at Watford) the new first choice at Man U. This would put Kuszczak at number three in the pecking order. Whether or not he ends up at Sunderland, it is clear that Kuszczak will likely not be contesting for the number one job for at least another year.

Injuries

Glowacki and Golanski are injured and will not play in the upcoming Euro Qualifiers. How much they will be missed is debatable. Glowacki was a stretch to play at all, Golanski probably would have. But Poland really doesn't need its top players to overcome Azerbaijan and Armenia. If it really ends up being the difference, well then they probably won't deserve to come away with full points in the first place.
