Daniel Sturridge confirmed signing for Glory
Stumbled across jets training yesterday. Noticed that Eli Babalj was still training with them. Maybe they are keeping him around incase they can offload someone like petratos. Eli's hold up play and body work is still great and he was getting around the field a lot better than I thought he would.
Beka looks a very smart striker with his runs and link up play. Looks like he will spend a lot of games trying to draw big defenders out of place to create space midfield runs.
Overall the game play that I watched looked very free and fluid in terms of positioning with the ball and retrieving the ball once lost was very urgent.
Awesome stuff, thanks for the report mate!..Quote:

If we can't break teams down with pressure and pace, he gives us some height and ability to pull the ball down and link with others. Plus, surely his finishing must be as good or better than Roy's last season.

Expiring 23/24
23 Jack Duncan - signed until 23/24
23 players signed for next season
- 23 A-League squad players from possible 23
- 4 Visa spot (Mikeltadze, Boumal, Penha, Siantravanis) from possible 5
- 2 Scholarships (Goodwin and Archbold) from possible 3
So by my count, we have a full squad - yet we are rumoured to be signing a defensive midfielder.
Either there is a contract classified as a scholarship (Noah James perhaps?) or someone is going to leave (Kanta retire?)
Jimmy Gardiner is tweeting that he still expects the midfielder to be announced this week, and like i suggested above a player could be put on a scholarship contract or Kanta becomes and injury waiver.
The other alternative is that a player departs.
Either way, i think this is the last season for kanta and probably Hoff too.Quote:

It's a double edged sword.

unless it got changed when he signed the new contract it seems to be lucas
Thanks for that effort mate.Quote:

Surely we are trying to move on Kosta
Possibly, but my interpretation of this is that he signed an upgraded deal to an A-league contract from a scholarship deal originally in the year he signed the extention.Quote:

The kid from Melbourne Heart we saw in 2010 is a distant memory and several classes above the player he is now.
Mario?!?!
Arques apparentlyQuote:

My thoughts are that if we had been offered this squad last year, we would have jumped at the chance. I'm willing to give Papas the benefit of the doubt that he is trying to assemble a champion team as opposed to a team of champions. Expressing doubt is fine, but some of the narrow minded negativity on here is amazing.
For what we were a year ago I am very happy. You couldn't expect marquee signings just like that and nothing wrong with getting no names that the coach knows.
2 or 3 players won't work of course but the business done the last few months is very good. Look forward to the product.
Doesn't look like we were ever an option:

we can't be doing too bad with our signings and the impression it's having on the casual fans, the brother in law said to me yesterday he may be interested in coming along to a match this season to see how some of the new signings are going, that's not a bad sign
When was the last time we used all 5 of our visa spots cause I don’t even think we did when we made the grand final
Season before last. We had 6 visa players across the season - Bobby Burns, Roy O'Donovan, Wes Hoolahan, Abdiel Arroyo, Joe Ledley, Matt RidentonQuote:
