That is a very, very strange signing. He offered nothing at WSW. His playing days are done.https://melbournevictory.com.au/news/juan-mata-signs-for-melbourne-victory/
Juan Mata to Melbourne Victory a done deal. He'll make the move from Western Sydney Wanderers ahead of season 2025-26.
Reports he was amazing to have in the dressing room. Likeable and supportive characterThat is a very, very strange signing. He offered nothing at WSW. His playing days are done.
Good to hear. And hopefully he has one last good season at Victory.Reports he was amazing to have in the dressing room. Likeable and supportive character
Victory has pivoted towards youth with its recruitment strategy. So leadership for us is very valuable and makes sense re: Mata.Reports he was amazing to have in the dressing room. Likeable and supportive character

They pretty much all panned out. These are the ones I tracked that haven't gone anywhere.was anyone rumoured to have a move that never happened? Seems altogether a good window?
prefer motherwell to viking, so no loss there. Other two not sure aboutThey pretty much all panned out. These are the ones I tracked that haven't gone anywhere.

Forwards
• Apostolos Stamatelopolous to Viking - Norway (1) (Offer rejected by Motherwell)
Defenders
• Adriano Lebib to RB Salzburg - Austria (1)
Goalkeepers
• Thomas Glover to Saudi Arabia (1)
AS must be getting close to losing his starting spot at Motherwell so perhaps it would have been better if he'd ended up at Viking, although no guarantee he starts there, of course.prefer motherwell to viking, so no loss there. Other two not sure about
Agree re Hollman and Tete Yengi (wide in a front 3, bizarre), no opinion about Thurgate.Biggest disappointments of the transfer window, Hollman to Walsall, Thurgate to Western Sydney, Tete Yengi contract extension (played out of position at Livingston.)
3 year contract for Thurgate, I feel he may never get a crack at Europe.Agree re Hollman and Tete Yengi (wide in a front 3, bizarre), no opinion about Thurgate.
