Ante Covic

Covic has been at Sydney FC training. 

?

What is he doing? 

He could have a statue outside the new Parramatta stadium, glorified forever in mid-ACL save.

Or he could sign for esfc for one year.

i dont know if he is trying to troll us or if he is really at sydney fc training

Not trolling.

Not trolling. 

 

honestly i do believe you it would be an easy troll though but you dont seem like the trolly type

as much as i love what Covic did for us i honestly wouldnt really want him now he made some really dumbarse decisions the last year he was with us

still if he does sign he will be the first wanderers player to move to the blue part of the city

It's not very popular from our end, the club has been careful to ensure that no photo's of him was released at training. 

A solid second option and would challenge for the number 1 spot, Vedran needs to be pushed

I'll push him.

Oh you meant on the ground.

sometimes you need a back up keeper to motivate the main keeper and that is pretty much all you need them for

Pushed or not, Vedran is what he is. He's got a blunder in him. Even in games when it didn't cost them, he dropped the odd cross etc.

TBH, Ante is the best option for first WSW to ESFC move. For a couple of reasons:

1. He did it via another A-League club; and

2. He is the Great Wall of Asia who single-glovedly won us the ACL.

Can't begrudge a man wanting to continue playing professionally for as long as he can. The fact is, we didn't want him.

It was going to happen sooner or later.

I have no issue with players going to any club once we release them. It is a job and it would be stupid to think that if he can get a contract he won't just to please us.

I'm sure that people will not have an issue going to a competitor is they lose their job with a company... should not be any different for players.

there is only one possible solution to this occurring 

That is ******* ace

Someone has to be the first to go from West to East (even if it's via Perth) and be over and done with. I hope he has a few more years left in the tank to continue on. Still one of the top five goal keepers in the league.

Loving the mature aged (non youth) player approach to recruitment from Arnie this season  

I still don't understand why we let him go

I still don't understand why we let him go

Yes you do. He had a shocking year in 2014-15 and many were saying he was past it. Popa chose to let him go earlier than later.

as much as i love him for what he did for us previously he did make some stupid decisions and seemed to want to be a sprinter considering how many times he ran for the ball and let the opposition score with an open goal

I still don't understand why we let him go

$$$

Redders is a far more cost effective option who had very little to do last season, all things considered.

Not sure if Spider joining as GK coach had something to do with it. After all they were colleagues at the 2006 WC.

And yes, post ACL final Ante seemed somewhat inconsistent.

does that mean his sister is a smurf now?

dont give me logic

I miss him

dont give me logic

 

I miss him

Good news for you then: he's back in town, and you could go to ESFC games...

If he signs with SFC I will still have respect for him and I would hope he'd show the same back to us.

It was good seeing him come over to us after the Perth home game last season, we still applaud him and he applauds us.

He's on his way out, he deserves to play for as long as he can no matter where that may be.

he is playing a long term troll,

will bust his backside to get a start in the derby, then when its 0-0 with 1 to go he'll step aside, let the ball roll into the back of his net, drop his gloves and walk off giving it to arnie.

 

Says in this article from a month ago that Perth has offered him a contract extension, but they've given him some time to think it over due to his family staying in Sydney. If ESFC offered him a deal it would be good news for him and his familyhttps://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/31863107/covic-to-mull-glory-future/

 

They did make Ante an offer, but have subsequently signed Reddy

TBH, Ante is the best option for first WSW to ESFC move. For a couple of reasons:

 

1. He did it via another A-League club; and

2. He is the Great Wall of Asia who single-glovedly won us the ACL.

4. He still believes that he has much to offer as a goal keeper at Aleague level

5. He wants to prove someone wrong (even if it was only a small part of his decision)

does that mean his sister is a smurf now?

No

Ana is as torn as the rest of us.

How much did he have a desire to coach?

Remember when that was the supposed succession plan and then we got kalac. Maybe there's been a carrot offered in that regard as well.

Maybe. 

Ante will end up in coaching, as he was doing his initial courses whilst playing at WSW.

Perhaps Ante back to Victory to mentor Lawrence Thomas?
