Marcus Wedau, a 30 year-old German midfielder playing for third-tier northern regional league outfit VFL Osnabrück, has signed with Queensland Roar for next season. Wedau spent a couple of seasons each with KFC Uerdingen and MSV Duisberg in the 1. Bundesliga for a total of 93 games and seven goals, in addition to stints with SV Munster, LR Ahlen and a long spell with Rot Weiss Essen.
Unsurprisingly, not much else is known about Wedau's connection to Queensland. Apparently he trialled with Roar during a vacation last year in sunny Noosa after a recommendation from the same agency (JB Sports2Business?) that handles Spase Dilevski. Miron Bleiberg has indicated that Wedau will slot into the midfield as a playmaker, so there must be a bit of sparkle to his game.
The commentators are going to love it: "See-oww passes to Wed-oww, back to See-oww...."

Couldn't they sign someone from Brasil or Argentina?
They do have one Brazilian already, though :)
