Congrats to Musti Amini on his first senior international appearance.
Part of my pride that the win over UEA concluded with not only four former Mariners on the park but those four started their professional careers with us AND hadn't played for any other A-League club.

Australia goalkeeper Mat Ryan has attracted the interest of newly-promoted Brighton and Hove Albion as his long-term future at Valencia hangs in the balance.
By
Dave Lewis
8 May 2017 - 6:44 PM UPDATED 5 HOURS AGO
Currently distinguishing himself on loan at Europa League-bound Belgium outfit Genk, the 25-year-old gloveman has come to the attention of Seagulls coach Chris Houghton as he seeks to beef up his squad for the promised land of the Premier League.
Current incumbent David Stockdale, 31, missed just a single league match during Brighton's romp back to the top flight for the first time in 34 years.
But it's understood Houghton, who led Brighton to a second place finish on the Championship, is looking to shake up the pecking order and has identified Ryan - who still has four years remaining on his Valencia contract - as a prime target.
While declining to identify Brighton as a suitor, Ryan's agent, former Middlesbrough striker Mikkel Beck, confirmed there had been enquiries on Ryan's availability from across Europe including from England.
"After Maty doing so well for Genk (after arriving on loan in January) there are clubs starting to show interest," he said.
"He's a top goalkeeper and when everybody sees him doing it week by week they are going to come calling.
"That is natural and normal but we are not in discussions with those clubs at the moment because we first need to know what Valencia's intentions are.
"He has a few games left at Genk still and is just enjoying his time there.
"He was a bit rusty at first because he hadn't played much in half a year but now he's just getting better with each game and is back to top form.
"Mat's an all-round goalkeeper who can play anywhere, including England of course."
Though Ryan's priority is to reclaim the top spot at Valencia, Beck made it clear that unless he receives assurances on his prospects then he will be looking to play for football elsewhere next season.
"Of course, we want some reassurance that he will go back and play at Valencia," he said.
"We need to solve that situation first and foremost before we can talk about him going somewhere else.
"What Maty wants is to be somewhere where he is playing, and his ambition and plan is to make that happen in Spain with Valencia.
"The Spanish league is the best in the world ... and it's where he wants to test himself.
"If that is not possible, then it's a case of 'where should we go then'?"
Beck reiterated, though, that Ryan's future is in the hands of Valencia, and they will have the final say on whether he stays, goes out on loan again next season, or is sold.
"As things stand, he is under contract at a club that wants him back and is not in the market officially," he said.
Brighton declined to comment when contacted by The World Game.

It looks like Ibini's off to Canada, with Club Brugge set to sell him to MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps:

Tried to watch some of the MLS on beIn sports and didn't think that much of the league. They would probably say the same about the HAL. SFC wouldn't be all that happy one would suspect as he would have made a nice replacement for Holosko and isn't a foreigner for the ACL.

That Bernie move is strange. I could understand it if he needed game time to get fit.
It says he'll need up to 10 weeks rest though. That's a big chunk out of their season.
Signing someone already injured is the kind of thing we'd do.
The only thing I can see, is that if he does get back to full fitness he can be loaned
out in January after the MLS finishes.

So, Sainsbury looks like he won't even end up with a single appearance for Inter?
I know it was a hard ask to come in mid-season in such a prestigious league (particularly defensively)...
But Inter have been quite poor and are winless in their past 8 matches (6 losses and 2 draws), and haven't kept a clean sheet since February.
Yet he has remained on the bench...

Looks like it, though you would think with how Inter is going just chuck him 20 minutes at the end of a nothing game. If he does well you have found a player, if he doesn't you were going to get rid of him anyway.

Mile Jedinak's move to Centre Back at Aston Villa explained here by Alex Dicken for Birmingham News:
"During a match with Sheffield Wednesday in March, Villa were dealt a blow as Nathan Baker went down injured. Despite Bruce having two recognised central defenders in Richards and Tommy Elphick limbering up on the touchline, the manager elected to bring Hutton into the fold and shifted midfielder Mile Jedinak to defence in a complete reshuffle."
Next ten Aussies to Feature in Ange's plan's? By Lucas Radbourne-Pugh for FourFourTwo:
Mustafa Amini
After making his debut against the UAE, and putting in a fairly calm midfield display to round out the victory, Mustafa Amini will be hoping to chalk some more minutes on the board against Saudi Arabia.
Touted for years now as a future Socceroos star, after bursting into the spotlight with Central Coast Mariners, Amini seared his name into the guise of hopeful Socceroos supporters after he earned a mammoth move to Borussia Dortmund in 2011.
Despite a whopping 57 appearances for Dortmund’s reserves, a first team chance never materialised for Amini, and a subsequent move to Danish outfit Randers soured due to the skilful midfielder being played out of position.
A move to Randers’ Superliga rivals AGF Aarhus has finally got the red-afroed midfielder a shot at Socceroos glory. The man who Jurgen Klopp once called ‘a really great talent’ certainly has the dynamism to make an impact if called upon.
