Adelaide United FC Thread: Champions (2015-16), Premiers (2005-06, 2015-16), FFA Cup (2014) Winners

No actually I'm not, I'm telling you what most of our supporters want, not what I do. I'd be happy to move to a bigger purpose built stadium.

The thing is, marquee signings like ADP are short term fixes. We as a club are never going to compete monetarily with the likes of the East coast sides.

Griffin has said it himself that we won't bother with big money signings as it is financially not viable

With cashed-up Chinese owners, it can be.

That's the whole point.

 

[hey shorty]

Then why hasn't it worked for Newcastle ?? I'd rather grow like the Victory off our own backs.

To do that, IMO we need to leave Hindmarsh.

Because Newcastle has been a poorly run basketcase.

I agree, we need to leave Hindmarsh. We've outgrown it.

Hopefully, with Adelaide United winning a Premiership recently as well as Adelaide Crows women and Adelaide Crows men (), the groundswell of public jubilation will get a purpose-built stadium back on the agenda and pull the government's finger out.

 

[hey shorty]

Problem is they have no interest in doing it and all their money has gone into the nRAH.

Yep. It sucks. I understand the position the government's in, money doesn't grow on trees. It will happen one day though.

 

[hey shorty]

It has to

[hey shorty]

Don't reckon Adlung will start just yet, nor Baba. The club were pretty disappointed in the condition he came back in, although it wasn't all his own doing. Gulum MIGHT start but not 100%

Should have enough to win.

Actually liking the look of the squad this season, bring it on.

I think it was Bosnich, picked us to win it this year. Must think the same.

For him to pick us to win anything must mean we've got a super super squad

 

[chazwazza]

Is it just me or are the HAL and TWG Facebook pages over the top Berisha at the moment. I thought it was bad with Cahill but it’s tough having this prick’s face everywhere

What happened with Baba?

 

[hey shorty]

What happened with Baba?

Was stuck in Africa after the birth of his child, Visa issues

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I will be surprised if any of Baba, Adlung or Gulum start.

Adlung starting.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Wasn't expecting Gulum to start, or Adlung. Bit risky to play Gulum surely???
