If that broadcast figure is correct you'll see a lot of player movement too I'd imagine. Most clubs will be forced to play more youth (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

[mack]

Brimmer, Ikon, Nigro, Adams, Taleb and Khelifi leaving.

[StringerBellend]

I'd take Brimmer but it will a big WSW welcome to Nigro

This makes things a bit more interesting, looks like Popa was willing to stay.

In saying that, you know Popa always has one foot out the door regardless.

[matty]

I'd take him

Sounds like Montgomery has also rejected them and looking likely to get Kisnorbo.

Monte wants to stay in Europe and for on him.  Why come back here unless you really need to.

That's probably correct. I don't buy the story that he rejected us because of Bosnar and a disagreement over recruitment. That was probably a media beat up.

popa left weeks after Rudan, and they've still managed to announce Kisnorbo before we've announced Staj.

Yes, but they were already in the process of negotiating with him prior to Popa leaving (if you believe the reports - part of the reason Popa left).

We better get in soon, the guy that won the Wooden Spoon last year finishing behind a dreadful Western United and an awful Jets. Must be in high demand.

In some peak A-league positive news Arzani turned up for a Amatuer 6th division Coogee team. I know its un professional but still this would have been gold being on the opposition. You just comeback with a hangover rubbing the voltaren to warm up your legs and here comes Arzani and he is putting his boots on.

[Davo]

That would be the easiest card I’ve ever picked up in my career brining Arzani down.

[marron]

Me: what a ***** dickwad this guy has always been

Finds out the opposition  was that cove affiliated team

Me: hilarious, well played champ 

Finds out the team he played for lost 

Me: ****wit

Imagine playing Sunday league Div 6, bringing in a Socceroo as a ringer, and still losing.

Asia investigating Malaysian football association and the league which could lead to a ban.

 

There is also a club in Vietnam that have requested to withdraw from ACL 2
