herald really scraping for a story today. players joke around a bit on twitter about a few days of uncomfortable living and it's a major story.

the foz must not be spreading enough rumours for the herald journos! let's start one..

my sources tell me that Thomas Hitzlsperger (former villa, west ham, stuttgart player) has looked past an audatious bid by everton and is lined up to accept an offer from the Hunter Sports Group Hunter Ports Newcastle United Jets Football Club to become their international marquee and #10 signing. my source said that van egmond was looking for a well-drilled yet creative midfielder, and the german fit the books perfectly. hitzlsperger will also be in charge of free kick takings as he has one of the most powerful shots in the world. it's believed that hitzlsperger is good friends with carlton cole from his time at west ham, and thomas is attempting to drag him along with him. cole and his family are apparently looking for an ultimate change of lifestyle, and it's expected he will be asking for wages that could fit under the cap.

your welcome, james & robert.

not sure if srs.

fyi: i'm pretty sure the guys at the herald knew they were joking, and it was hardly a serious news story.

are you saying that whilst under the impression that you yourself don't get butt-hurt over nothing on this forum?

The article made the ACT section of the Sydney Herald and the gypos are crowing about it on twitter. If the herald are such local supporters why print a crap story as they did?

If the herald weren't serious why did they try to contact HSG for comment ?

And as for the Gypos I have one word to say - caravan....

I think Parksey is looking for a job at the herald.
Might need to move to NZ bud.

People should really password protectnehir wifi so the gypos can't steal it and "read" these articles. If there wasn't a picture they'd be lost.

If the article was written that way then all good. But the articles is definitely written as a slight against the boys comments. Yeah they be a bit dum for putting it on twitter but for the NECASTLE Herald to have a go without any foundation was pretty poor.

The article just fed the socca haters for no good reason.

Besides what will they do when the boys really f^*k up.

I'm guessing from Griffiths tweet, the club has reacted by stopping twitter.

RyuGriff: Well I guess I won't be tweeting any more! I apologize for having a laugh with my new team mates. Most us players lived here at ais! #adios

Shame as it was a great way for fans to interact with the players. Well done James Gardner and the Herald.

Well Bridges isn't banned, from his latest tweet. But he is very pissed off at Gardenier and The Herald.

I don't think they did. From James Gardiner's twitter:

For the record. The Herald went to jets management over AIS remarks. They could have clarified the situation. If it was banter between teammates they should have said so. End of story. Instead they did not respond and had com removed. Twitter is the public domain. Not everyone understands or is in on 'banter' between teammates.

New Sydney Striker

Sydney FC’s attacking stocks have received a significant boost with the capture of current Panamanian international striker Yairo Armando Glaize Yau for the 2012/13 season.
Yau will join Sydney FC on loan from Panamanian club Sporting San Miguelito upon completing a medical in Sydney.
The 22-year-old striker has played four matches for Panama, scoring one goal in a friendly against Guyana in May 2012. He was also a member of the squad that recently started Round 3 of CONCACAF 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying with wins over Cuba and Honduras.
Yau first played professional football as a 16-year-old and has spent most of his career in Panama as well as a one year stint at Deportivo Cali in Columbia.
“We’re very excited about being able to entice Yau to Sydney FC,” said Sydney FC Coach Ian Crook. “He’s a current Panamanian international and the boy can play.
“He’s quick, direct, can play as a striker or a wide man on either side and he can cross a ball. He’s played recently for Panama and we’re thrilled he will be joining us for the 2012/13 season.
“We now have a good group of attacking options with Yau and Kruno Lovrek joining Joel Chianese, Nick Carle, Brett Emerton, Mitch Mallia, Ali Abbas and Dimi Petratos to give our Members and fans some excitement up front.”
