A-League Transfers and Rumours

[dibo]

That too.

 

[Wombat]

How about Ahmad Elrich? The man to stiffen up the side, and offer some real firepower?

LOL.

Is he still on remand?

 

[Wombat]

Foxtel mentioned that Victory were chasing Kewell.

Now that would be fantastic for HAL!!!

 

[midfielder]

Heart sign Fred (the MV Mid from Hal 2) and David Williams...


Good signing IMO ...

Kosta signed to a Russian team and leaves the Roar..

[midfielder]

Fark AU recent signing ....

Bruce Djite returns ... http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1065223/Djite-primed-for-Reds-return

Bruce + Dario Vidosic who they also signed starts to look like a very attacking side..

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Not to mention they still also have the leagues best striker in Vandjyk and caravella imo is a much better signing that Djitte.

It's at the back they need to strengthen now... Though they have Galekovic who is still the best keeper in the HAL and cassio - the SECOND best LB ;D

Victory have also made some great signings.

But it's how well we play as a team with a system that will make us very hard to beat again this year.

 

[elevated position]

every season gets stronger than the previous .cant wait for the start.

Helps if you put the outs in as well.

Helps if you put the outs in as well.

Why?

 

[dibo]

So you can weigh the gains vs losses

Matt McKay to Rangers ... should be a reasonable fee in it for the Roar and follows in Craig M footsteps ..

I hate losing quality players from the A-League but this is a great opportunity for McKay.At 28 he probably has 5 good years left in him & could use this move as a stepping stone to the EPL.

In saying that I must admit I had a big MARINER`S smile when I read it..

A Chinese guy may also be interested in the Roar...

On the last line of the article it says ... Gold Coast have agreed to terms with striker Dylan Macallister and defender Ante Rozic.

 

[finally retired]

Former Millwall and Liverpool goalkeeper Tony Warner has joined Hyundai A League side Wellington Phoenix.
(source http://blogs.soccernet.com/onthemove/ )
From Wiki......."It was revealed on 5 July that Warner was set to sign for Premier League club Blackburn Rovers, however this was not confirmed. Instead on 17 August 2011 he was announced as signing for the Wellington Phoenix playing in the Hyundai A-League."

 

[dibo]

Can't help but notice that one H. Kewell seems yet to confirm his club for the coming season.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yeah just read one of the latest press releases about that.

I sincerely don't like Mandic. I do understand players get these sought of deals in other countries, but
this is the HAL, we are still fighting to survive and grow, and we can't afford to undermine the HAL sponsors or diminish the
attractiveness of our already behind the Australian eight ball (or egg ball as the case maybe) market position.

I want to see Harry and I do unlike many still think he'll still play some great football for a couple of seasons or so.
And he'll be good for some "short term" publicity and generating band wagoners.

But it can't be at ANY cost.

 

[finally retired]

Brett Emerton is due to be unveiled as a Sydney FC player on Thursday after his contract at Blackburn was cancelled. (source http://blogs.soccernet.com/onthemove/).
wow......Kewell v Emmerton round 1......

Awesome
