This the guy playing for Hawkesbury City He was apparently going to trial with us & still may, I'd need to check with my Uruguyan mate. We have multiple wide players, not that any are much good. He's been working with some of the Smurf youth, so probs giving himself every opportunity of picking up a contract. Link to comment

Also, he'd be behind Riera and others compared to the Smurfs with no recognised striker other than the bearded one (traitor to the west) Link to comment
Prydzopolis Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 No we didn’t trial him. Has been hoping for a chance for some time now. Yes he was playing for Hawkesbury in NPL3. To me it seems like a big leap to sign this guy on a visa spot. He has talent & clearly can play much higher level than NPL3. Seems like a similar strategy signing that we did on Adeleke, going cheap on the visa player & hoping he comes good. The last few years of success were based on 4 quality visa players but looks like lack of salary cap space means that this season is not as straight forward. Link to comment

Stokz Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Their season depends on how well they replace: Bobo Adrian Bujis Bobo and Adrian were unplayable last year and will be big big losses. Ninko and Brosque will be a year older so their new forwards will need to be spot on. Link to comment

Exactly, if you look at their squad they have retained their core of decent Australian players (Wilkinson, zullo ....) Link to comment

StringerBellend Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well this cheered me up one of the funniest A League related articles I’ve read The best bit is “Sydney are believed to be in talks with several players who are at a similar level to Tevez, with one of them rumoured to be Nigerian striker Victor Anichebe” This has to be the first and only time I’ve read that Anichebe is on a similar level to Carlos Tevez! Other funny highlights include Tevez being paid $41m for what he self describes as a “holiday” in China. Yes im sure he will come to sydney for $7m and take it seriously https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/carlos-tevez-one-of-several-highprofile-players-in-discussions-with-sydney/news-story/d56e693ed7ee9258b710966650a395b7 The sad part is people get paid to write this crap, where as my insightful posting here is entirely free EmMac, Prydzopolis, SomeGuy1977 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

I don’t want to be a nutty conspiracy theorist but, FFA announce intra A League Loan Rules yesterday, they were quick off the mark on this one.

Or just wants out of Gosford). He was using the Okon sacking as the excuse to dissolve the contract. I can see where the conspiracy comes from (I thought the same when I saw it), but I am pretty sure it was announced that some sort of loan system would be introduced at the end of the last season.

Davo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Still pretty quick though. They were talking about loans a while ago but until they actually release the rules around it they wouldn't have been able to do much.

It’s good areas but nowhere near the levels of conspiracy you get in Italian football. Let’s just put it down to extreme luck that the rule change (which clubs have been wanting to come into place for some time) has worked out very favorable for them, allowing them to exploit it for there own devices.

The decision sounded like a great plan for younger players, not getting game time, to be loaned out to another club who could give him a chance to play. I'm sure the idea was never for a player having a sook to leave his team. mack 1 Link to comment

matty Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 De Silva is an undeniable talent but I wouldn't want him at WSW for free. Seems a handful and a sook (probably down to his management as much as himself). Couldn't be good for the dressing room. Link to comment
