Congrats to Faz.

I like it and knowing that Silvera is there is a good thing. Seems like I’ll be taking note of Pompey’s results this season.

 

[Ironbark]

Faz is one of my all time favourite players. This year I got him to sign a shirt right in the middle of the chest and only his signature on that shirt

 

[midfielder]

Great news

 

[Allreet?]

Pompey will definitely be my team in the Championship this season - Fazz, Sammy and Yengi (who I quite like also).

 

[Meerkat]

Fantastic news for Faz. I think it’s perfect.

Forget the formation - but we've lost a team since January

-----------Vukovic
----Parkes-----Hall---Farrell
----------kasalovic------
Barcellos---Nisbet--Ballard---Torres
--------Reec------Tulio

but could still set up as

--------------Pavlesic
----Roux-------Kaltak---------Mauragis
---------------Tapp-----------------
Doka ----McCalmont--Di Pizio---Theohaurus
---------Kuol----------Edmondson

Great move for Fazz if true, him and Sammy linking up down that left side could be absolutely deadly.

Will never forget that flying header on debut in the derby.

Had a quick look at training on Friday. Impressive training set up. Chalk and cheese compared to the old sessions under Okon and Mulvey.

Alfie looks the goods! There was a Black guy i didnt recognise....i presumed he was the Brazillian i have heard about. Will defo check out a full session next week.

thanks . i like that the gaffer is looking at another latin american .
as i believe ,that's one of the keys to our success. has been a blending of euro and american styles.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I about a week FTBL will run it as an exclusive. They really are the clubcall of the 21C

Also having at least two works well for the team as a whole. You see they are close when we celebrate lifting trophies.

Not directly related to us alone- but I am noticing a tonne of ‘overseas transfers’ announcements in the Aleague at the moment.

Wondering if the reduced revenues is leading to a fire sale of players to other leagues… and whether having so many players in other leagues is actually a good thing for the future of the Socceroos, if not the A league?

 

[shipwreck]

I'm worried the ALeague is going to go one of two ways.

A glorified NPL or a glorified youth league

I dont think there's been a whole lot more moves, perhaps its just a case of connecting the dots more because you're aware of the financial issues. If there has been an uptick it could also be attributed to the general upward trend we've seen of the Aus market being seen as a good value pool for the likes of low-mid euro leagues, Scotland, MLS, etc.. If we get more players thriving when they leave that perception will only grow

Given that the NST seems to be falling apart ... and the FA has sold it as part of a package to a broadcaster will the actual NST be a glorified youth league run alongside the ALM with ALM NPL Academy teams.

A glorified NPL or a glorified youth league

So an Australian league full of emerging and experienced Australian players.
This is not a bad thing

The death riders looking for clicks have gone from "we never develop players anymore" to "all our developed players are leaving" The football media is rubbish apart from 1 or 2 quality writers. The rest can be safely igonored

Until the A-League actually has a substantial prize pool, it should be a glorified youth league. Develop youth and sell them on.

If the A-League Regular Series had a $1-5m prize for the winner, you'd see more the big clubs investing in better players from overseas.
