Spiranovic Signs For Qatar Club


ON THE DOTTED LINE...Al Arabi announce Spira move

FRINGE Socceroo Matthew Spiranovic has sealed a move away from Urawa Red Diamonds to join Qatar club, Al Arabi, its website said today.

Spiranovic, 24, has struggled for game time in the J.League recently after moving to Urawa from FC Nuremburg in 2010, initially on loan but making the move permanent later that year.

Al Arabi's website today ran a picture of Spiranovic signing the deal to take him to the Middle East, subject to a medical on Tuesday morning.

It's understood the defender is moving on a two year contract.
being one of my favourite socceroos/fringe socceroos, i'm really upset with this move. not because of the money involved, and not the notion that he's moving to a club he's hoping to actually get gametime for, but because of how shit the qatar league is. he needs to be playing first-team at a decent club in a decent league.

also that picture looks like one of the sketchiest deals gone down ever. the only thing missing from the picture is a briefcase opened towards spira, and some ak's being held.
