Really don't know why we need another RB.

Val reporting on links between Tomi Juric and a return to Adelaide United.

I presume those "links" would be A-League Memes reposting the original "Juric joins Adelaide United" FFT article from 2013.

Would love to have him back.

Looks like we'll get Javi and the other two will go to Western United.

Would have thought they'll play him CM given RB is one position we actually have covered. Saying that I though Strain showed some promise with his glimpses in CM.

Looks like Javi Lopez is already following the club, Bruce, Piet and Isaias on insta so it looks like it's happening.

Yeah it would be interesting to see which of Strain or Lopez slot into midfield.

Javi Lopez inbound.

Got excited for a sec because I thought Sofia, Bulgaria (location of Tomi Juric's most recent club) was in that timezone which would be an obvious hint if he were to sign.

Lopez should still be a good addition.

Not sure Lopez plays the positions we need covered the most but it's hard to criticise the signing of a 250 game La Liga player

Yeah for sure, will definitely add some experience and quality, both of which we are sorely lacking.

There are nuffies on Twitter bagging the club for signing him tho, most of which seem to be bitters who hate the AL and support a former NSL club.

He can play Lb, Rb and midfield and provides experience. Good signing to me straight out of La Liga

Dare I say it - but this could be THE signing of the entire A-League for the 2021 season. Lopez is a former captain of Espanol, for goodness sake! I know that Isa was instrumental in bringing him to Adelaide - could Lopez be the best signing we've made since St Isaias?

Yeah could potentially be for sure.

His former teammate Victor Sanchez is linked with WU and has an even better CV tho. I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised with the calibre of visa players coming to the league this season, especially with the cap being slashed.

"Another Spaniard who is related to an A-League team. Javi López is in contact with Adelaide, as is Tomi Juric. His last seasons in Spain were pretty bad"

Hmm...

"The deaths of koalas and kangaroos will rise to balls with those centers ..."

Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I'll wait until I can see him in action before I make any judgements. At the very least, he'll provide some much needed experience.
