Has Archie been traded to Sydney FC yet?
3 spots remain as reported.
I wonder if Bayliss and Taylor could be changed to Scholarship contracts to increase possible 2 spots. Don't fully understand contract structuring anymore. I can't locate clear guidelines and regulations like I previously could when A-League was under the FFA.

In general I'm happier to see us sign "prospects" from NPL and academies than late 20's squad level players.
If we're just going to be an average team, at least be an average team giving players a shot who may then have some desire and motivation because of that - rather than this being someone's 4th A-League club and just stopping by for a year or two going through the motions.

The biggest thing we are missing atm is an actual striker and another high-quality CB. If both of the next two signings fill these gaps I'll honestly be feeling better about this team than I have in previous years because at least it's filled with some potentially interesting players instead of a load of has beens
Agree
With the loss of Boogaard and NTS, we needed to bring in someone like Jurman to organise the defence - a real talker. We needed that gap addressed back when we brought Boogaard in from Adelaide because we leaked goals so easily that season because nobody spoke in the defense.
Stanton will no doubt be waiting to see if someone can step in to those shoes in terms of organising the backline. Duncan was always very vocal as a keeper - I don't specifically recalling if Weier is and no idea on Scott. If Natta and/or Cancar, who are both very young, can do it then great. Will Jenkinson be able to? I have doubts but I'll be watching.

Something else interesting to watch is if Jenkinson will be back here for the match against Victory.
Is he on social media? Has he been posting photos that indicate if he's in Australia or not? It's a long off season to be out here if we lose and don't have any real competitive matches until October.

Competitive matches, Pretty sure the other teams have already banked the points.
Jeez, our squad is uninspiring

I enjoy the number of players off contract this season.
Very little $$ tied up with Ingham, Goodwin and Dowse for 24/25 (bloody hell, talking about 2025….)
Means that fresh start is easier to come by.
Previously I feel like we’ve always had GK or CBs or some vital positions signed for too long.
As was mentioned, I’m happier watching a bunch of NPL prospects than has beens and other clubs’ castaways.
Need to moneyball this club.
He is at training.....
