Who's signed for next season

[Old Gregg]

Popovic is a fantastic player, so much composure for someone so young. Future Socceroo. If he leaves us any time soon we'd be wanting to ask for a BIG fee.

Steve hall off to Brighton in the epl according to channel 7.
Also reported Popovic to Korea- as our only decent CB would leave us completely bare at the back.

[EdDog]

Probably explains why they've started to push Isa back there a bit more.

Tbh not a bad move for Isa given his age.

Congrats to Hall and Pops - both deserving, and can't begrudge any player going overseas (for a fee to boot!).

Popovic and Hall gone according to the squad for tomorrow night. Only warland as a recognised CB which means Isa at CB. As the midfield needs Isa, looks like we are getting weaker each transfer window.

Need about 4 signings imo and reckon we will get about 1. Clearly club has no ambition this season besides selling any decent player and making $$$.

If the club receives a decent offer for a player from a bigger league, and the player wants to further his career, they really can't say no can they.

It's naive to think otherwise.

I don’t have an issue with players leaving or doing that @ Martin.
I always look at what is left and what is coming in and unfortunately the last 5-6 years bar Goody and 1-2 others, the ins have been pretty average. Popovic has been our best CB all year, losing him knowing we have an out of sorts Warland, always injured ansell and a nowhere to be seen Barr- doesn’t really scream ambitions for current season.
On top of selling Goody and Nestor moving on, it’s pretty deflating.

Kikianis CB and Talladira LB in the squad.
Thoughts on either?

I can tell you Talladira is primarily a LB. Only young but pretty promising imo. His dad was a championship winner with city in the nsl.

The CB stocks looked reasonably good at the start of the season. Four guys who had all started a decent amount of games and done well. It's been well documented on here that our defensive woes have been more about the lack of defensive cover in midfield rather than a specific weakness in the back line.

Anyway, I think to say that the owners are only interested in selling players is a bit of reach. Sure they probably want to balance the books as much as possible, but they gave Carl a decent squad that he seemed relatively happy with.

Not much you can do when bigger fish come calling.

Anything happening down there?

[EdDog]

Gauci to Villa.

Great opportunity but won't play much. Will have to be loaned out.

Like this window?

[The Claw]

When does AU have to actually sign players from a transfer window perspective?
We won’t have team soon at this rate!

If Gauci is their second keeper (which I assume he would be), rather than third keeper, then he’ll probably feature in their European & Cup games.
