Lol what a waist of money

Glory CEO admits Sturridge move has failed

Perth Glory CEO Tony Pignata says Daniel Sturridge's move to the struggling A-League Men club has been a failure and it's unlikely they'll extend his deal.

No surprise at all, if all the staff at Liverpool couldn’t get him right to play on the first class pitches of the Premier League, what hope did the Glory staff have to get him ready to play on our pitches, which are often rather shit

Yep and I dont see them doing WSW twice. So 1w, 1d, 2l (37p) is where I have them.

I wouldn't lock Nix in for a defeat to City just yet.

City have a stopover in Perth to play Glory on their way back from Thailand, and then play Nix on the Monday. If WU drop points in 2 of their remaining games (us, NJ, AU, all away), then MC could wrap the premiership up in Perth.

If they are premiers by that point, they would either play a 2nd string team v Nix, or given they get the first week of the finals may pick a stronger team but the players just go through the motions given their heavy schedule and nothing at stake

I think he lost interest very quickly in the first game he watched and played and seen how rubbish his team was. I doubt he would want to stay so I laugh at how they may not extend his deal. Seems he has tried to distance himself from the team and their results. I bet if it was a team in the finals he would be keen.

He never had any interest - there is a reason no Euro club would touch him

Fun fact - Romario played 3x as many minutes as Sturridge in the AL

Talking about overhyped injured players. Daniel Arzani is coming off contract soon. Quality player when fit. Anyone interest to see if we can resurrect his career on a performance based contract.

Really? hasn't played since January - not starting in the Belgium Second Division. 900 minutes this seasons for 1 goal and 0 assists. The kid needs a serious reboot.

Was supposedly on ridiculous money last contract. So I don't think we'd be able to compete

As for his skills, I see him as very similar to DDS, a ridiculous amount of flair, but no muscle to back it in. It means he gets moved off the ball very easy.

Also because of the huge amounts of flair not only does the opponents not know what he's about to do, most of the time his own team mates can't read him.

Very good point.

Look at the difference in careers of Harry Kewell to others like Kaz Patafta, Sebastian Pasquali and Daniel Arzani. To be a top footballer takes more than party tricks.

Correct. Only two previous attempts.

Sydney when they cheated the cap, scum when the ref ignored Judas handball - then we won it in 2013

 

[booney]

Though I was disappointed with the result of the GF that never was I loved the fact that we scared the shit out of those arrogant Roar fans and some of them were even leaving during extra time having given up.

However it did scar me and I still having an abiding hatred of that team on par with my hatred of MV.

My hatred from that game is reserved for Breeze for not giving the blatant foul on Pedj, and subsequently for Theo for being an arrogant pr!ck. No real hate for Brisbane.

That Sydney were not stripped off the first championship after it was found that they had deliberately rorted the cap is an absolute disgrace and does partially drive my hatred of them (amplified once they reincarnated as the Southern Mariners).

Is that a subtle skyrim reference?
