A-League Transfers and Rumours

[Pirate Pete]

Money seems to be on Rudan but they (or him) are probably wanting to put a little distance between his nix stint and announcing him. Seems very unlikely they've put this much of a team together without someone in the background.

I've heard the squad is being put together by the team lady and a couple of player agents.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Team lady or tea lady?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Isn't Hutch there?

Isn't Hutch there?

Sadly yes

Oh yeah. Forgot he knifed the nux.

Muscat gone.

Melbourne Victory have confirmed on Monday that long-standing head coach Kevin Muscat is stepping down from the club.

A brutal hardass is exactly what we need.

He's untested outside the big dollar Victory environment and at times hasnt been amazing even within it. Probably end up in Asia, rumour was one of the oil leagues.

 

[sydmariner]

Qatar I believe.

Interesting signing by the Wanderers, hasn't played at all this season for his Swiss club. Apart from Kurto they haven't really been any successful visa keepers so it will be intriguing to see how he goes.

Not exactly a subtle nudge out the door for Vedran. Bad enough being told to look around but using a visa slot means he’s got zero chance of fighting for game time even if he finds form.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Is it just me or is Sydney FC's recruiting looking a tad unambitious?

Aloisi? Lol. It’s a great move if they want to prove its less about your coaching skill and more about your infrastructure and cost of your playing roster.

Trying to prove whether that Swiss (was it?) coaching impact data correct.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Ah ok, just read its most likely youth and development.

Walter Scott apparently heading to Wellington.

Cap or second marquee? Would be a pretty risky marquee choice, has his moments but not getting any younger (34 by season kick off) and seemed to be dropping pace in his last season here. Doesn't look to be getting many minutes in the J league either. I'm not seeing any minutes for him in 2019, if transfermarkt is right he's had 67 minutes since July last year.

Edit: I respect what he's achieved but I'd be worried if we went after him and paid decent money.

Cap I would say, and he's an Australian now a days so would be decent backup/competition to MacDonald/Stamatelopolous.
