Sydney FC

[WHACKO]

Not much in the way of reading. So he'll probably become another Bobo or Janko.

[Carns]

Why is a 26 year old on loan so much? Doesn't seem to have been very prolific (that's probably the reason).

[Davo]

16 goals in the last 5 years isn't great for a striker, although its tough to just how foreigners will go in the A-League.

Wow that is an impressive resume 

[MartinTyler]

With all those recent loan moves you'd have to think that either he's a disruptive influence in the changing room or he's got a severe dose of BO

Or he's not very good at football

Brazilian clubs in general are weird with loans. There have quite a high % of their players out. Daniel Penha is up to 9 clubs in 4 years, yet he's clearly an excellent player in this league. If theres another club offering a better loan fee and their players keep playing, they just run with that. Players dont seem to argue about it because their parent club pays them a decent wage so its all fine

Oh lordy, I remember when Chelsea had like 38 players out on loan. Juve sorta had as many except their weird joint agent ownership means they often dont count as real loans.

Apparently right now the leader is Arsenal with 25 players out on loan

[GunnerWanderer]

I like the fact they are taking a punt of 26 year old instead of some has-been. 
 

and if it doesn’t work out they send him back. I’d like to see more of this in a-league ie younger players opposed to old journey men, his record isn’t sparkling so wouldn’t expect him to tear the league apart, they do have a good track record with import strikers though so who knows. 

[MathyouWSW]

Could be a strategic move for them. If he flops, he's on loan, they can send him home early. If he cooks up a storm here, I would assume that there's an option to buy him for Sydney FC?

He's the kind of player that we would sign except he would be 31yo journey man playing in 2nd division football in Romania

[GE942150]

That's all 4 visas filled for them.

Probably decent signing for them, he's young as well at 21yo

Isn't the number of visa players permitted still 5?

[BoyFromTheWest]

I think that's 5 isn't it? Rodwell,  Mak, Jolley + 2 newbies - striker and CB.

I thought Rodwell got citizenship because his wife is Aussie?

I believe he has permanent residency which does not count.

A partner visa isn't the same as citizenship. You have to do 4 years on the visa first.

PR also isn't the same as a citizenship, hence the big drama between Ninkovic and SFC despite him being a PR already.

5 year sponsorship (shirt front) with Macquarie University

 

[102megan]

I think the sponsorship looks really good on the jersey.  Plus it's a much more respectable organisation, than their previous front of jersey sponsor. 

[Davo]

But that was the only way they were getting a star on their jersey...

[BoyFromTheWest]

An big surprise, Rodwell in doubt for Oz Cup Final, according to 10 news. That is a shock.

I'm glad they're going to a good cause, although it's still weird giving children shirts advertising a casino.
