I thought he had his best game for us last night since the Brisbane GF. If he's staying next season I'd like to see this version front up more than once a year !!

Reports are that he's moving to Perth. Before the Perth game he posted that that match was probably going to be his last match. Because of his age & Popa likely wanting to rebuild in midfield I don't see him getting more than a 1 year extension, so I'd say he'd be keen to move on himself.

If he does indeed go, he'll be remembered as a beast in our formative years. Wish him the best of luck

 

P.s. Nice work getting revenge on Ali Abbas for your house mate Santa ;)

2-3 times a year?

His goal and celebration against the Mariners that put us into the second final will be remembered forever.

 

I can still hear the commentator after watching the replay 'La Roccaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, the grand final is calling for the Western Sydney Wanderers'.

I was kinda kidding.... but I might actually watch that again on the weekend (after watching NUFC confirm their place in the clampionship next season :nono: )

That's a done deal. Prob a good thing though. Mike Ashley might actually spend some money

Wow. They'll play him at centre back.

I think they might change structure a bit and have him next to Sanchez.

You thinking of Isais bro? As deep mid?

I thought maybe he's replacing boogardt.
