[hey shorty]

Berbatov still has brilliant touch, but its whether we can get 20+ games from him.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Much lazier player than Bruce too.

That is very true. More clinical but won't work as hard.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

The striker we're after is Kevin Kuranyi.

Please get it done Adelaide. Would be a huge signing.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Won't happen

 

[hey shorty]

Holy hell, that would be enormous.

 

[FAITH]

Won't happen

You get the feeling they will find a way to screw it up.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

The FFA better ******* help us here. The amount of money they gave to an already cashed up City to sign Cahill was ridiculous, so they better do everything possible to help us sign Kuranyi.

Whys that ?? We haven't actively TRIED to land a big name since Romario.

Luca toni

 

[Magma]

jesus, kuranyi is a name i havent heard in years.

rolando bianchi also linked.

 

[hey shorty]

Luca toni

We weren't ever really into him, he was offered to a number of A League clubs and we show some interest until we saw his asking price.

Bianchi would be in January when La Rocca becomes an Aussie.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Bianchi has barely put the ball in the back of the net for 3 years. Do not want.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Adelaide is also close to signing another Brazilian, Henrique Andrade Silva, 31, who now has an Australian passport.

The former Brisbane Roar forward is currently playing for Negeri Sembilaqn in Malaysia.

Ugh...

Kuranyi hasn't been much better really. Lets not forget though that our all conquering Spaniards had much lesser records, as did Berisha.

As for Henrique..... he might be classed as an Aussie but I don't want that diving flog anywhere near us. Wouldn't be much point given he still wouldn't qualify for ACL.

I'm much more interested in this Aussie winger. Please be Nathan Burns.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Apparently Val said it isn't Burns.

Don't want Henrique either. He's really only good as a back-up striker and we have Marino for that.

 

[hey shorty]

He's only good for 30 minutes off the bench. If its not Burns, then Halloran maybe. Super quick.

I couldn't think of many more high quality guys. To be honest I can't see why Burns would hang around Tokyo, the manager has forced him to train with the reserves.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

When that happens at an overseas club you know it's probably not going to work out.

On a lighter note, Goody has had a good start at Sparta. Scored on debut I think?

 

[hey shorty]

A right footed chip over the keeper yep.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Yeah just saw it. Bit of a deflection on the shot but good on him.

 

[hey shorty]

Henrique IS the Aussie winger !!!
.
Oh puuuleeeeeeease. He is only an Aussie in A League terms, in the ACL he counts as an import and wouldn't play.

That HAS to be wrong. I'd be disgusted if he were to be signed.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Is that info from Val?

 

[hey shorty]

Yep. In the previous story it was 'an Australian winger' to which he later tweeted 'updated story with wingers identity'.

Gross.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Oh Jesus. Can't believe I didn't pick up on that. Revolting.

Can't we actually chase an Aussie winger who is actually first XI quality? He is not.

 

[hey shorty]

Forgetting the fact he isn't even a winger either !!! I'd be staggered if we didn't have a Burns/Holland/Mabil in our sights.

If we signed Kuranyi/Bianchi, NTS and Henrique we'd have one more signing to make.

Given we signed 2 youth teamers to contracts I reckon we would have cap room too.
