Osama Malik has been released from his contract with NQF and will be joining us. Not sure if this is the replacement. I bloody hope it isn't. At a minimum we need to get Mclenehan in.

Agree with you on the pushing up but it doesn't seem to be doing us a great deal of damage defensively. The game against Perth is looming as the biggest test of our current set up. As far as taking the game on I think we are playing in a much more intelligent fashion and creating chances at...

Yep, if the form keeps up and the sun comes out we'll bounce back up to five figures.

Where does Romario fit?

We haven't quite regressed to the futility of the A-League campaign but the performances have definitely come off from the start of the ACL. Pantelis is back to his old form and is absolutely diabolical. Can't beat a man, doesn't even seem interested in the bye line. All of our crosses came from...

Agree. If they've got anyone involved with football sense he'll be gone. I'm stunned as to how good our crowds have been considering some of the tripe that has been served up. Maybe it was worse under Kosmina? Seems such a long time ago.

Didn't we try 3 at the back in preseason / early season and look woeful as well though. I was o/s for it so memory is a bit foggy.

Pantelis and Dodd need to be shown the door. Vidmar can follow.

Biggest issue, even bigger than the system we play. The amount of times the midfield receives the ball with their backs to goal or immediately turn and look backwards is baffling. To be honest it makes Dodd look good when he goes on his one run during the game. It's like a midfield full of Ross...

It's one of Clive Palmer's companies.

:D Not going to give us anything are you. I was there at Olympic Park for Veart's goal. Personally I really do enjoy the games and atmosphere when the two teams play. Obviously the results have been horrid for us this time round but it'll turn soon enough. It's just a shame (as there always...

Adelaide have signed Adam Hughes from the Irish League (either Drogheda or Sligo) and have signed Marrone to a professional deal.

Wasn't so long ago it was the other way round. Congrats to Melbourne on the win. Wasn't able to watch the game but have seen the highlights and it seemed like it was a much improved and tighter performance by the Reds. Hopefully next year.

ACL qualification perhaps?

Definately League 1 standard. Had my brother over and took him to Barnsley v Plymouth and he definately noticed the step up in standard. A lot more one touch stuff, even at Championship level.

Cassio, Sasa and Diego out of the first game, will tighten things up considerably.

Apart from bringing along Djite. An obvious talent but Viddie really aided in his development. Burns was the one that he took backwards I thought, never played him as a no 10. The ACL certainly wasn't a fluke either.

Really fell apart after that great first full season. Some of it was injuries, some of it might have been new coach with a different tactical set up and a lot of new players coming in. If he can pull it together again he'd be a quality addition to any side. Sarkies also provided the...

I'm glad I'm out of the country. I'm with Ray though as much as I dislike GA I can't help but hope for the team to do well.

Yeah another striker wouldn't hurt but if we're playing 4-5-1, the trust Viddie has in Dodd and the fact he's played him there before I'd be surprised if we did sign another striker. And the other striker would need to the Australia - so they'd be a gamble from the local leagues . Don't think...

Beltrame is out for the season. Birghetti will be sitting on the bench and playing for the youth team now I assume.

Got my tickets in Block G. When's the squad announced?

Yeah Bruce is really struggling with the summer conditions in Greece.

Mulligan is ex-Barnsley. Plays on the right side of defence or midfield. He came through Barnsley when we had quite a strong NZ connection. He jobbed around the lower leagues after assisting Barnsley getting relegated from the Championship I think.

Yeah, they are the first Aussie lads that I've seen first hand go to Europe. Will always love them for their contribution to AUFC. Might even have to order a couple of shirts :D

Agree, Sarkies wouldn't be worth putting on it. But we may end up having to if we have noone else. Might free a bit of extra space in the cap.

The U23 money? Well they could/should use it to get our hands on another young Aussie prospect. Would be interesting to know how much Jamieson is on.

Not sure where you got that one from youngsaint. Was announced a few weeks ago. On the 'Tiser Online I thought it said we were announcing another signing today?! Might just be introducing Alemao. To get 1.3m for Burns and Djite after picking them up for free was a good bit of business. I...

Big time Lowie. His only move at the moment is to get the ball, face his man, decide against it and pass backwards. Get rid of the Blunt.

Closer to Sydney's colours.
