I don't expect his departure will free up a lot of cap space, either.Quote:

was he really on the socceroos radar though?
Lee/Lawrie/Co have all stated this is the business plan regarding the Jets. Hence the fight over the buyout clause in Hoole's contract. Its a loss to the squad no doubt if he goes. Business wise though the club picked up a transfer fee from Petratos, who is arguably a better player than Nabbout, got him back anyway and now potentially pocketing a significant transfer fee for a player who was bought for peanuts.Quote:

In the end, both the club and Andrew need to agree to the deal before it's done.
From a club perspective, I think he'll shine under Merrick. Which could mean his stocks go up further by the end of this season.
Please stay Nabbout
It actually good for usQuote:

Now with Kokko and Nabbout most likely out the door it giving him much greater flexibility in spending the cash
Considering Our Caravan Georgevski and Petratos are Jones signings this really given Bert much better chance to sign his type of players
Exactly.Quote:

Then again, maybe the Nabbout post Coffs was the "true" Nabbout and he had been worked out.
Definitely won't be Burns.

comment
I am honored that it has become a contract with Sanfrecce Hiroshima which is one of the most successful clubs in Japan and I am able to play for this club.
I will try my best to contribute to the victory by doing my best for the club.
Remarks Nathan Burns will join the team from July 18 (Tue).
What about Harry Novillo. What's he up to these days?
Nabbout is always appreciative of the fans support and he also took the losses hard. Best of luck to him in the UAE if the deal goes through.
Don't miss him too much. He'll be back playing for Sydney FC before the end of the season when everything goes pear-shaped in the Middle East.Quote:

Carrusca, Cirio, Vidosic, Milligan all still available still as well. Hopefully 2 good foreigners are signed to fill the wide roles
Good for the club, although there looks like there's way too many zeros in that transfer figure for the Jets.
Good job Gypo and Mr Ernie.
Is Weak Ankles confirmed with WSW yet?Quote:
