A league transfer rumours and discussion, NON AU

[shinAUFC]

And now fourfourtwo are reporting that Beckhams people are denying talks with FFA, classic FFA/FOX bullshit.

To be fair del pieros people said the same originally

[Stuckey]

CCM are annoyed FFA 'leaked' Ryan's pending move to Hull. Maybe the FFA should stop getting so excited everytime someone important returns their phone call?

Central Coast Mariners star Michael McGlinchey believes his in-demand teammate, Tom Rogic, would be making a mistake if he headed overseas now.

Totally agree with McGlinchey. I wish the FFA would assist clubs in retaining talent of Rogic's over ADP or Heskey.Not only for the excitement he offers but for his own development. Reading are apparently offering him $750,000 a season, I guess that is a little hard to argue with. What better for him then to club regularly at the top club in the land in a place he is comfortable with? If he continues with his development $500,000 for him would be nothing compared to what he could go for.
I think players like Burns and Djite have shown you can go over too early.
The J-league have it right with keeping their young talent in Japan but obviously they can afford it!

MICHAEL OWEN could finally start his first game for Stoke today – and then move to Australian club Perth Glory

Interesting. I guess with the league being 27 rounds it could work but if he gets injured and misses 3 months thats almost half the season

FORMER Socceroo Craig Moore's advice was instrumental in Tom Rogic electing to pass up on the chance to join English Premier League side Reading.

On the day Central Coast teammate Mat Ryan also decided against heading to Scotland for a trial with Rangers, Mariners boss Graham Arnold was still anxiously waiting to see whether he would lose either of his young stars with another British club believed to be considering an offer for Rogic.

Great to hear him staying. If he is as good as everyone says he is then if he stays with CCM for one more season it should be a side that is staying in the EPL offering him a deal!
Its a bit sad though according to the article the only reason he is staying is because it looks likely Reading are getting relegated. Championship or EPL either are still a massive step up from the HAL.

North to Brissy
Carney to WSW.

Famous day for the HAL this double wammy of news leaves me feeling the same the day I heard Gold Coast were folding or Nick Bianco was handing back his AU licence!

[bpowell454]

Wow, someone signed Carney. Hope WSW arent expecting a team man, he only cares about his own career if you believe the stories from bunyodkor. Oh and he's a bit shite.

[bpowell454]

Not really rumours but Marrone to Shanghai, good on him, still a shame his Italian job fell through a couple of years back.

Also Tom Rogic to Celtic.

[Agostinho]

So Rogic, Ryan & Ibini are all heading off for European trials. That would certainly help our trophy chances this season!

[Stuckey]

Heard a rumour of Jambo to Wellington.

[Stuckey]

Corey Gameiro to Nix. Quality player. Basically the only player to do consistantly well in Australia's U20 AFC championship

[Shane]

Daniel Mullen to Tards F.C.

Done deal.

:/

[Stuckey]

Carlos Hernandez to Nix apparently

[bpowell454]

Sydney FC want Thwaite for next season.

[Old Gregg]

Hernandez to Nix would be a great signing for them!
Likewise Thwaite to Sydney - much underrated player IMO, one of the better Aus CBs going around.
