Mate with the buy out clause we're about to get the maddest players ever

Too bad that we can't use any of that money to actually buy a player, 

we have to find players that are unattached to any club

So, now we have an attacking midfielder and a striker to sign, plus a replacement for Spira. Do you guys want your wooden cutlery now or are you keen to wait till next autumn?

Jets and Glory are looking a lot worse than us, IMO. Still months until the season starts.

“Winning the AFC Champions League final was the big one but our success on the park overall and being part of a club which is so young but still has that winning culture in so many different areas of the club has been amazing to be a part of,†said Spiranovic.
 
“The fans are truly incredible - they have been pioneers in a way for football fans in Australia and without them, there is no way that we would have made history like we did.
 
“I had never played professionally in Australia prior to coming to the Wanderers, so to experience the best that football can offer in terms of success and coaching and helping me achieve my peak as a footballer while being here, after playing in countries like Germany and Japan, is something that I will never forget.
 
“Popa’s drive and attention to detail is unlike anything that I had experienced before from a coach. Our success came from his ability to make us focus every day and learn something new every day and not look any further than the next session and next match. He helped me reach my peak as a player so for that to happen after I had spent many years overseas prior to my Wanderers experience, I can’t thank him enough. I feel privileged to have played under him.
 
“I am very excited about the next challenge and new chapter ahead. The Chinese Super League boasts so many fantastic players that have been at the biggest clubs and leagues in the world. Playing regularly against players such as Demba Ba, Robinho, Paulinho, Momo Sissoko, Elkeson and Ricardo Goulart will be a massive test and something that I look forward to.â€

All the best Spira :clapping:

Yeah, all the best Spira. You have been all class, for your Club and your Country.

 

You will be missed, and the Wanderers fans will never forget you.

 

 

“The fans are truly incredible - they have been pioneers in a way for football fans in Australia and without them, there is no way that we would have made history like we did."

 

 

Forever Red and Black!

You can bet your life on that!

Spanner's club Hangzhou Greentown has just been relegated from the Chinese Super League.
Would doubt Ange would be happy having one of his first choice CB playing in the 2nd div of China, in the run up to a World Cup.

Hope Wanderers have reached out to him.

Would happily throw marquee dollars there, would fix about 90% of our issues this season

Spira needs to be careful if Rhys Williams starts capturing his form of the past his spot could be gone and Ange is still looking to slot Millsy somewhere

 

But if he can't negotiate release what can he do I though his deal was 3 years but can't remember
