Sydney are assembling a very big squad.
Will still be terrible in defense though. But I suppose the idea of the game is to score more goals than your opposition does.
They don't have much width in midfield... looks like it is going to be Bojic and whoever their left back is. (Marc Warren going by wiki...).Quote:

Emerton said the other day he wants to play more centrally aswell, so their wide workhorse even doesn't want to play wide. They'll probably end up with a Vieira/Makelele-days-France-esque horseshoe in the middle, and as you said get their width from the wide backs.
Ah, forgot about Grant. He was there everywhere man though... what is his actual position?
Do they not have the same salary cap or is it that their owners aren't as stingy
centre mid apparentlyQuote:

Harry Kewell

Carlos Hernández
Jean Carlos Solórzano (after his outstanding season for Brisbane)
Marco Rojas
Isaka Cernak (when he was rated one of the hottest prospects after playing for the Fury)
Adrian Leijer
+ later arrivals of Ante Covic, Mark Milligan and Julius Davies
Sydney FC 2013-14 Big Names
Alessandro Del Piero
Nick Carle
Brett Emerton
Joel Griffiths
Corey Gameiro
Terry McFlynn (:oops: )
Rojas wasn't really a big name back then
But he was regarded as a hot prospect.Quote:

Overall the quality of the squad MV assembled was far better imo (at least on paper), but I'd bet SFC are operating at a similar squad salary to them.
Dean Heffernan has been signed by Western Sydney Wanderers. Why, I'm not sure.

Please tell me this isn't the attacking midfielder we've been in advanced talks withQuote:

Maclaren a very good signing, Perth also a chance to pick up either Ryan Williams or Ryan Edwards on loan which would give them a very good youth brigade blended in with smeltz, burns and co.
Konstantinidis goes alright, was meant to play Greek super league last season but team he signed for crashed financially and got relegated, 190 cm skilful winger/striker.
As much as I'd like us to sign talent like the aforementioned, we need so fellas 25+ with experience
Umm when Mitchy joined us If I remember right he was signed to a 3 year deal the rest of last seasons youngsters got 2 year deals.Quote:

Can't imagine he would have got a payrise for a few appearances.
HSG drossing up some more shit to the masses to make themselves look good????
http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/...n-Cooper/47486
Was originally signed for the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons. So it's a one-year add-on, and basically lets him know that he's got this season and the one after to actually do somethingQuote:
Cooper meanwhile, joins the Jets on a two-year deal after playing six games for Gold Coast United in 2011/12.
EDIT: Didn't even fully appreciate how young he is though, tbh. He's 18 now, he'll be 20-21 when his contract expires. He has a long way to go - hopefully he's the goods!
hope he's good at pulling splinters out of his arse
Sensible stuff from HSG - extend all these kids so that they can play under the new coach next season and step up.

Wheres the training on playing sideways and backwards at a ridiculously slow tempo so all goals the team score require you to beat all 11 opponents??
Wheres the training on pushing fullbacks up then getting caught with the ball in the backline and being arse raped as 4 attackers swarm all over 2 defenders??

Pretty high likelihood that we are going to be well behind in the members stake this year. WSW have already hit 8k.
Still can't believe our membership campaign translates loosely to "If you don't support us while we are shit, you can **** off"
Yes, my faith in humanity has been crushed by day 3 of the new financial year.
Look at it this way Grim, the bar lines will be much shorter:tongue:
