Whether the figures are speculative is not the issue.Quote:

Yes Cahill definitely had a plan with his off-field ventures in China; his Academies, his clothing brand...Cahill+ (and whatever else) and it would've been premature of him to pull the plug on all that and come back to Australia now just because he has been released from Shenhau. A lot of players don't maximise their careers when they are playing and make short-term decisions, Cahill has a meticulous approach in both his onfield playing (and club choices over the years) and what he does off-field....he basically leaves nothing to chance.Quote:

You can see it in his recent games for the Soccerroos he don't have it like he used to.
Fingers crossed Ange can send him out gracefully and not kicking and screaming like Luca$h went
The great man could never be "dead to me". He has supplied me with way more good memories than pretty much anyone in my own life hahaha the guy is one of the greatest athletes this country has ever produced.Quote:

Khalfallah has been left out of Victorys ACL squad.
Victory looking at a way to keep Barbarouses for next year, if we could get them to payout part of Khalfallahs contract could be a handy replacement for Enver.
barbarouses has signed for wello
Apparently for $750k a season FMD.Quote:

I don't think there is an "Aussie marquee" anymore. Isn't it just 2 marquees? I thought th rule was changed for SydneyQuote:

Where is Rojas these days? He bloody destroyed this league with Victory!Quote:

He would possibly cost a visa spot and International Marquee status to obtain and at that price you would be taking a massive punt.
Good to see Wellington have surpassed the Jets in paying overs for playersQuote:

I know there are 7 games to go but I reckon most on here would agree that Nordstrand is class from just the 4 games he has appeared in and that the club should at the very least start putting some "feelers" out to extending his contract for another season. His instincts as a footballer are spot on and he already seems to have a great understanding with Alivodic and Leonardo in particular....which will only get better the more they play together.
Apparently his wife and daughter arrive this week to stay with him for the rest of the season. I don't know what sort of support group there is for partners....or if there is any at all, but the club should be doing their utmost to make sure Mrs Nordstrand settles in to the Newy lifestyle!
Enver to me looks like a player who has the talent but just makes the wrong option because he is just not reading his team-mates pass or run. Having said that with Leonardo and Nordstrand in the team he looks a better player. Was involved in 2 of the goals yesterday on top of that beautiful pass to Nordstrand a couple of weeks a go to set up Milos' 2nd goal against City, as well as the assist for Cooper's goal last week against Roar....that's 4 of our last 6 goals he has had a hand in the last 3 games!!!Quote:

I'd love the guys on here who analyze the Jets salary spending to have a crack at the Smurfs figures.
How the fvck does sydney have $500k left under the cap??
Absolute bullsh*t
I just don't understand it.. Haha..
Madness..
I'd imagine they'd use the guest stint option, maybe try and use ACL wages subsidizing? Plus they'd be able to set his contract up so they pay him say 50k this season, but then extra for the other seasons of his contract - which might be a marquee deal so could be as high as they want. They'd find a way.Quote:

4. Zac Anderson - gypo, has no idea what 'wages' or 'employment' are. Gets fortnightly centrelink cheque for $479.80.
5. Mat Jurman - league min, although his twin brother "matt yerrrrrrman" is somehow turning up for half his shifts lately.
6. Stambozliev - no wages, not a real person. is actually a marketing ploy for a new brand of cheap russian vodka. Seb Ryall hosts Stambozliev vodka parties for 14 year olds on the Gold Coast.
7. A Hoole - League min, but its gets paid into his account so he's exponentially more wealthy than he was when at the Jets.
8. Dimitrejavic - gets around league salary rules by being paid in food vouchers. currently over his own personal 'cap space'.
9. Shane Smeltz - $150k, but in NZ dollars, so its about $60k (this joke was totally better about 8 years ago).
10. Ninkovic - wait? aren't he and Dimitrejavic the same person? Sydney uses them under same contract. $200k between them.
11. C. Naumoff - $80k he played good one game, only 4 years and 3 knee surgeries away from being offered a max deal by the Jets.
12. J. Tratt? - the **** is that guy? league min.
13. B. Oneill - the only Oneill not making a living out of tyres or wetsuits. poor career choice. league min.
14. A Brosque - $100,000 per 90mins played. Season wages so far = $30k.
16. R. Woodcock - isn't he a cricketer? league min.
17. D.Carney - hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha hahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahah
18. M. Simon - legally entitled to half of Arnies salary and super due them officially being declared a defacto couple.
19. J. Faty - he's french, so he's obviously on the run from something in his homeland. league min on the proviso sydney fc don't tell anyone where he lives.
20. I.Necevski - league min, but paid as a coach so no impact on the cap.
21. F.Holosko - league min. plays for a country that now doesn't technically exist. bummer man.
22. A.Abbas - league min. still love him. if only former jets management weren't all haterz.
23. R.Grant - his contract states he gets whatever Marc Warren earns + $1 to formalise his position as only the 2nd worst player in the league.
24. George Blackwood - sounds like a politician from the early 1900's. i wouldn't vote for him. **** that guy.
25. A.Calver - ? again, who the ****? league min.
27. M.Tavares - $200k lord knows what for. garbage.and french. so double garbage.
29. A.Mullen - doesn't he play for the Knights? George Blackwood refuses to bring his dog to training or social gatherings. League min.
30. A Bouzanis - somehow isn't better than the other 2 retards in goals. shouldn't be getting anything if he's that bad. has def used the "my brother played premier league" approach to pick up chicks.
so as you can see Sydney have heaps of room under the cap. Bring Tommy home.
Eland made a point I've not ever thought of tbh.
Pushing 4 players outside the cap (marquee x2, homegrown x2) means other teams have the whole cap the attract 19 players.
If you don't use the "outside the cap" concessions you're trying to attract all 23 with the cap.
I'm not sure why that's never dawned on me.
Kanta and BK are well worth keeping for that fact alone. More money to spend on the rest of the squad.
