A-League Transfers and Rumours

[pjennings]

Yep - apparently signed yesterday from Boca Unidos to Patronato on a free

I know this is "old" news, but it gave me a chuckle reading the comment
from ESPN Soccernet's daily transfer blog yesterday

"09.04 BST: Reports in Australia say Melbourne Heart are keen to sign Michael Owen and hope to beat Everton and Stoke in the race for the former England striker.

But why on Earth would someone want to live in a relaxed country with a beautiful climate when they could play for Everton or Stoke?"

442 saying Vince Grella to Heart

 

[snoa]

Not a transfer as such but this is a crack up of a gaffe by Adelaide United.... Inviting a non existant player by the name of Dexter Rosales to trial, and announcing it on their website.

Their scouting clearly needs some work.

Yeah what's even funnier s it was just some punter of 442 who googled him who realised he was a fake, not AUFC.
Hilarious.

Grella to Heart

 

[Gratis]

Joel Griffiths to Sydney it seems. Having felt sorry for Syd much of this season I can now go back to hating them with meaning. Syd/sackwhacker...truly despicable!

RELATED STORY: Heart may beat clubs to Socceroo Neill​

MAP: Sydney 2000​

Sydney FC has secured the services of Socceroos skipper Lucas Neill for the rest of the A-League season, according to News Limited reports.
Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its website that Neill should be free to take the field alongside fellow Socceroo Brett Emerton and Italian star Alessandro Del Piero on Sunday week against Melbourne Heart.
Neill, 34, had been linked with a move to the Heart earlier in the week after he was released by his United Arab Emirates club Al Wasl.
Australian captain Neill has made 89 appearances for the Socceroos and featured at two World Cups.
He spent six years with Millwall in England before stints at Blackburn, West Ham, Everton and Turkish club Galatasaray before moving to the Middle East with Al Jazira in 2011.

[scoober]

least it will help bring the average age of the squad down signing a 34 year old.......
Sydney FC always planning for the future!

 

[BrisRecky]

I,ve asked this before...BUT...How the f**k are the Smurfs staying under the (alledged) salary cap...Emmo, ADP, Sackwacker and now friggin Lucas...most of the squad must be claiming fkn centrelink

 

[Tassiemariner]

Lucas is only on a deal till the end of the season IIRC. So his wage would either be identical to Culina's or if the "Guest Player" is still around, he would be in as that.

 

[Jesus]

He is guest player, is outside the cap. Or injury replacement. But apparently only on 70k
