We Are The Reds

Rini mentions that the club is looking to sign a left-footed central defender. I have never really understood why the stopper should be left-footed. I would have thought that the defender's overall quality and defensive attributes would take preference. Anyway,if it must be a left-footed defender,I ...

I realise that there probably isn't enough money left in terms of the salary cap but I would have liked BOTH McKain and Madaschi.What a formidable central defensive pairing that would have been. We just need to accept Levchenko now although the reports about him indicate that he is a quality player....

Lads I am sure that there are THREE marquee players allowed. One is an International Marquee. An Australian marquee (National team player) is also allowed. The third allowable marquee is the Australian Junior category.

Lucas Neill would be a fabulous acquisition for Adelaide United. With his contract running out and, with rumours that he wants to return,the club should move heaven and earth to sign him as our "Aussie marquee" player. Apart from significantly strengthening our defence,he would raise United's profil...

Hammer, I really like your idea about United players out in the community and being filmed at different Adelaide( And South Australia) landmarks and events. This is important in terms of "community engagement" and maintaining a "profile: for the club. Can I suggest that United create a television co...

It would be great if the social club and training facilities could be concentrated at Hindmarsh. The properties behind the western stand were for sale late in the season. I wonder if it is feasible to buy those properties and slowly develop these club assets.It would be great if the training facilit...

Whilst we are talking about "Australian" centre backs,another name popped into my mind. The mysterious "Australian" centre back could also be Ivan Ergic. Ergic was actually born in Serbia but his family migrated to Perth when he was very young.He was raised here and played for Perth Glory in the NSL...

According to "Hinderz" on Football News,it could also be Josip Simunic of Hoffenheim (Germany). He is an experienced centre back, who although born and raised in Australia,chose to play for Croatia. He actually played against Australia in the 2006 World Cup. This could explain the "Australian" inste...

Stuckey,I don't think that Andy Webster is the player United are pursuing. First of all,he only signed for Hearts on a two and a half year deal in January of this year. Secondly,he does not fit the clues that "Ray" has given us. Webster is a fine player, but has not played central defensive midfield...

Ray,from the few clues that you have given us and,assuming your source really does have a reason to know who United are negotiating with,I would say that it is..........Ian Murray the captain of Hibernian F.C. You don't have to refute or confirm it. I understand the position that you are in. That is...

Im going to go with Liam Miller. Sall123, I don't think that it is Liam Miller. Liam is a midfielder. We need a good,experienced centre back. Ray,thank you for refuting the Loovens rumour. I found it hard to believe and I even told my "source" so.I know that I am taking liberties but can you tell u...

Ray, apparently you know who the mystery centre back from Scotland is.I have put a name out there into the public domain. It is what a usually reliable source has told me. Can you at least refute the fact that it is Glenn Loovens?

Another correction. I was rushing when I tried to correct myself earlier.. Glenn Loovens started his career at FEYONOORD not PSV. Again my apologies.My source is usually reliable, but I wouldn't bet money on a player like this joining us. It would be a signing "coup" if the club could prise away a p...

Sorry guys but Glenn Loovens started his career at Feyonoord. I must have PSV on my mind after the signing of Spase Dilevki. Loovens also played at Excelsior and De Graafschap on loan before moving to Britain.

The suspense is killing me. This is especially so as somebody told me that the centre back that United are negotiating with is.....Glenn Loovens of Celtic. Now that would be a very good acquisition if it was true. I mean the guy has played for PSV Eindhoven,Cardiff City in the Championship and Celti...
