Player movements 2013/2014

[MrCelery]

I agree - new player, as the transfer window closes tomorrow. No idea who.

 

[Atomic]

My guess would be Weemac signing on for another 2 seasons.

Thought this might be it and it's brilliant news

of further interest is this comment "and playing under Arnie (Graham Arnold) is a big factor for me. I've played some of my best stuff under him and I think it is beneficial for me to continue developing here."

shouldn't read too much into it but positive signs about Arnie's future with the club also. heh that said i know there were roar players that re-signed to remain under Ange but it's still encouraging to see

back to Weemac - he really is one of our all time best and this being settled should have a positive impact on our next few games too

Wow, that could be very promising to our season

 

[localpom]

I'm going to take a punt on Shunsuke Nakamura. Feel like it will be a midfielder and someone near the end of their career. He also has a Celtic connection. Of course i could be totally off track! Aewsome news about the Glinch too.

 

[Dutch Wives]

Fantastic news! So glad he's keen to stay. It will definitely have a good impact on our squad and upcoming matches.

Also reading the "we fended off bigger clubs" with the recent "APD is leaving without a Sydney overhaul" headlines I'm guessing Sydney were gunning for him.

It's pretty massive. CCM have just gone through a period where instead of selling any who've caught an interest, have; sold only one quality player, retained a number who were speculated to be leaving and possibly bringing in a Japanese international that was at the last WC.

Massive step. Or leap even. LOVE this club

I was thinking Endo on loan, but I just remember he's committed to Gamba Osaka and the J-leagues start soonish.

 

[timmers]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16671180 This report says that Yuki Abe has recently left Leicester City. It also says he has rejoined Urawa and misses his family, but I'll clutch at any straws!

 

[Dutch Wives]

Someone on 442 repping a Japanese name and is seemingly knowledgeable on this said;
"Daisuke Matsui, most likely, or less likely Junichi Inamoto.

Endo, Nakamura Kengo and Nakamura Shunsuke are confirmed at their current clubs, and the first 2 are current internationals which would be mentioned, and coming to the A-League wouldn't be in their interests."

Interesting..

 

[true believer]

as were all guessing i'll go tamada.

 

[scottmac]

as were all guessing i'll go tamada.

If were guessing i'll make it fun & say Honda from Moscow heard he is looking for some sun

 

[Dutch Wives]

Looking at a couple of players' tweets on twitter it seems Brad McDonald might be signing for a Sydney club.
