Watching the dockerty cup semi commentator hinting at juve making quality experienced signings that are cup tied. Bonada?

 

[hellas_johnny]

I would hate to think that we have only signed 2 players. We need a striker.

The fact we don't want to let swibel go tells me we don't have a striker lined up

 

[Mangia]

By this do you mean ramazani or do you mean 1 more?

1 more but still a hurdle to over cone apparently. And apparently and this is only what I've been told 2 current players are gone but no names have been said only that they are crowd favourites

 

[southmelb]

Blocking Swibel from leaving likely means Bonada is gone.

 

[Mangia]

On top of the 2 apparently leaving I have been told that 3 current players could be leaving end of year

 

[Spartan Warrior]

Lopez is gone....

That unfortunately fits the brief... who.is the other crowd favourrite though?

 

[Mangia]

Lopez is gone....

Yeah that's definitely happening

 

[Spartan Warrior]

Yeah that's definitely happening

Hes a father now. Got his coaching gig up and running. Cant go on for ever

 

[Mangia]

Jankovic moving back to Queensland
Maxi possibly doing the same
Lopez moving to lower leagues

I hope not for the first 2 but we will find out end of year

 

[southmelb]

Lopez going end of season is fine. Losing him now would kill us.

Maxi and his partner that plays for our womens team are 90% heading home.

 

[Hellenic_blue&white]

End of season meaning post championship i hope?

Donr know of any that post stuff like that (other than note 25/26 season) .. there is the post announcement 'scoops' that come from the agent maybe he can tell us?

 

[southmelb]

Lopez and Jankovic best days are behind them. Its a shame we couldnt capitalise when they were at peak level. Will be sad to see all of them go but a refresh will be needed come seasons end.

The players we need go hang onto are Pasquali, Gianokopoulos, Yoo, Lampard and Uchida.

 

[Mangia]

Next year could be a re build and does Sinisa have it in him to do so?

We were thinking that we would only need a few signings for another solid championship run.. with the above being possibly true we will require 3/4 of a team of starters to come in to defend our title! If they knew and these are the only signings for this window its even more problematic than we originally thought.

If you're referring to NPL contracts, if they're one year deals they will expire when the last game of the season is played.

Johnny A is in play at seasons end....you can bet he would love a tilt at the Aus championship. But our presidents....

Sinisa looks like hes at a funeral these days.
