Maybe if it hadn't dragged on for so long we'd have seen more movement amongst AL clubs.
PFA are pushing for a "rehoming exemption" in the salary cap of $375k on up to two ex-WU players. If that gets introduced I reckon we'll see a bunch of players signed.
Problem at the moment is the clubs have very little room within their caps.
Still have a month before the season starts, so we'll probably see a few more signings.
Bit concerning that Dylan Leonard hasn't signed with Schalke 04. They were willing to a pay a transfer fee to get him a couple of weeks ago.
Good player for an A-League club to sign as he's a young player with potential for an international transfer fee.
Ben Garuccio is another player you'd assume would have a couple of offers from A-League clubs.
Ibusuki might not be a starting player any more, but he'd be a very solid off-the-bench player and could probably be signed for a very good price.

Someone would be keen on Walatee you'd think. Bozinovski too.

Absolutely, it'd be a shame if a bunch of players didn't get picked up.
Sutton is also a solid keeper, maybe not a no1, but clubs would already have their keepers sorted.
What's probably happening at the moment is a bunch of low-ball offers.
Combination of clubs having very little wiggle room in the cap and players in a vulnerable situation.
Might also be a case of seeing more signings in the Jan window. Clubs might only have cap budget for a half season rather than a full season.

If Talay fucks up at Sydney FC and gets sacked Aloisi would slot in nicely.

I think it would be pretty safe to assume that the first AL coach that leaves (sacking or otherwise), will be replaced by Aloisi.
Talay obviously needs to get positive results early. He is a good coach so I reckon he has a good chance of turning things around, but if not I could see him gone by Jan.
MV fans not entirely confident with Diles either, so if MV are floundering at the bottom by Jan then I could see Aloisi getting the job.
If Glory continue getting the same rubbish results as last season, Zdrilic would certainly be gone.
Italiano needs to make some big changes at Nix this season, but on paper it looks like he hasn't done much at all. Fans will get pretty frustrated pretty quickly, especially with their new rivals doing so well.
Aloisi did pretty well last season, especially considering the club was a shambles. I reckon he would do really well at a club with proper facilities and resources like SFC or MV.
