    Hills not open....just another excuse on why crowd did not turn up.
    Excuse?

    In accordance with FIFA World Cup regulations, the AFC have prevented the local organising committee from selling tickets to the two non-seated hills behind the goals at Hunter Stadium, which reduces the capacity of the venue from 33,000 to approximately 23,000.
    The game was officially a sellout (this was the only sellout of the Hunter games)....there were some tix available on the day because alot of Japanese had fully expected being there and returned them.

    That may be true but an official sell out does not mean that people attend.. Just look at ANZ when they say the game is a sell out but there are empty seats as you look around the stadium.

    On the TV he did qualify that saying words to the effect that Del Piero had a bigger impact internationally but Cahill would make a bigger impact nationally.

    The irony here being that Darren Cahill retired from tennis due to chronic knee problems and ten or so operations to fix them.

    Ticks every box for a Jets signing.

    Yeah but these are the same people you expect to turn up as part of your 25k except they won't because they were never actually coming.

    Accept it. Jets crowds are lame and won't get better til the team deserves them.

    I'm over the Milos thing too, I'm just revelling in your assist argument being outed for its lameness.

    Long live assists.

    Although did you see Messi's bicycle assist the other day?

    It's a shame really, but the three times we could have got a 25-30,000 crowd (2008 semi final, Beckham match, AFC semi), we were impacted by reduced capacity.

    FFA to start talks with Ronaldinho as Milos Ninkovic wants out of Sydney FC

    A day after announcing Melbourne City's signing of Tim Cahill, Football Federation Australia is ramping up its pursuit of Ronaldinho and Diego Forlan with negotiations set to take place as early as next week.

    The brother and agent of Brazilian star Ronaldinho will land in Sydney on Monday for scheduled talks with the FFA over a possible move to the A-League.

    While discussions are yet to include A-League clubs, the 10 members have been put on notice about the availability of the 36-year-old as a guest player. Under the new regulations, a guest player paid outside of the salary cap can be registered for the entire season, however those adjustments may still not be sufficient enough to sway some potential suitors in the A-League.

    As part of the marquee fund allocated to star signings, the FFA is taking a more active role in negotiations for major recruits and is understood to be involved in talks for Uruguayan striker Forlan to Brisbane Roar.

    The FFA is eager to make Ronaldinho another high-profile guest player for the coming season but is likely to face a hard sell to the clubs who will pick up the bulk of the player's wage bill.

    Sources at Western Sydney ruled out a potential move for the two-time world player of the year and will likely not pursue a move for any guest player this season. Fairfax Media understands the club remains in the market for a foreign marquee player though that is unlikely to be a high-profile star.

    Sydney FC are more willing to sign Ronaldinho as a guest player though any potential move will first have to receive the blessing of the club's football department and coach Graham Arnold. Senior club officials informed Fairfax Media they have no plans for a guest player but they will make the funds available if they are convinced of the investment, marketing impact but most importantly, the benefit to the football department.

    The new approach is a stark contrast to the Sky Blues' strategies of the past where they have been willing to sign several short-term guest players such as Kazu Miura, Benito Carbone and Lucas Neill. While the club is yet to be convinced of making a move for the veteran attacking midfielder, Sydney could soon find themselves in the search for a new creative player after Serbian international Milos Ninkovic rocked the club with a request for a release this week.

    The 31-year-old midfielder is understood to have approached the club requesting the final year of his contract be mutually terminated to pursue a move with an unnamed club from the Middle East. Fairfax Media understands Sydney FC were angered by negotiations taking place without their knowledge for a lucrative deal understood to be worth almost $2.5 million per season.

    Chief executive Tony Pignata ruled out releasing Ninkovic before the end of his contract and says the club has not received any offer from the Middle Eastern club. "We've had no offer or correspondence from any club. He's a contracted player and he has a year to go on his current deal. He remains a part of Graham Arnold's plans for the season and he's not being released," Pignata said.

    Why aren't you in politics plague?
    Have to hand it to you, you are good at manipulating and twisting around someone elses opinion so that in the end the whole issue is clouded and the argument is about a totally different one from the original one discussed in the first place.
    P.S. you don't have to reply, just accept a "compliment" when I give you one!

    3 month deal... so he would miss 5-6 games. Don't we have a transfer window as well? Or would this be considered a Free Agent signing or something?

    he could come in at the half way point or whenever the transfer window reopens.
