Who's signed for next season

[Stuckey]

Dave Davutovic claims AU are in the market for a striker. I'm not sure if he knows something or is drawing on the fact that AU have had about 5 strikers on trial this season.

So Football Central are tweeting that AZ are looking to loan out Babalj.

I'm guessing the Mariners & Roar may be interested, any others apart from us?

[ChillyPhilly]

I just wiki'd Phil Younghusband, where did you pull that name from???
Nice strike rate, a goal a game in the Filipino league....
Richard Porta would be interesting too.

He's a much talked about figure in Asian football. Underrated player.

Here's a shot fired across the selection bows - would AUFC consider taking Jeronimo back? Apparently he is unhappy at the Newcastle Sopwith Camels - and who wouldn't be? - plus we obviously need someone to back up Bruce.

The problem will be the amount of foreigners whom we already have on our list - and I do not for a moment want to consider getting rid of any one of them - but it's an intriguing possibility nonetheless.

Consider and sanchez the same type of play except sanchez is more versatile and is a much smarter player.

I think this striker gombau wanted may have done the dirty and backed out last minute because i very much doubt we would have let jero go in the first place.

Newcastle Sopwith Camels

Ha!

You finally nailed one!

Hey, it's my job on this forum to brighten everyone's day, right?

Eli Babalj not with AZ to Portugal. Both attackers may look for another club.

Hopefully AU can get him on a loan!

Babalj always struck me as a bit of a basket case.

Are you thinking of Bulut and not Babalj? I can't remember Babalj having any attitude issues while he was at Heart.

[Old Gregg]

Babalj is just supposed to be a bit arrogant & stuff I think. Bulut is the one who rolls with gangsters etc

[shinAUFC]

When i say basket case i mean he often found himself in almost comical situations where he managed to fluff a prime opportunity due to selfishness or poor judgement.

He is a young striker though so ill give him benefit of the doubt.

He had a bust up during training in europe but from all reports he was standing up for himself from an over zealous senior squad member.

Scott mcdonald is now without a club, probably not the kind of striker we need but another option all the same

Given the money he was probably earning in the Championship I'd say it would be a large waste of money.
I very much doubt he would suit AU's style.
