SFC signing are looking strong

I'm not getting the same feeling. Apart from Emerton, they aren't that strong.

• Jame Coyne is a shocking footballer
• Beauchamp was poor last year
• Kisel is 34
• Bosschaart is unknown
• League has passed McFlynn by
• Similar striking options - Bridge/Mäkelä/Cazarine

Many stronger squads in the league.

The outs would help.

[scottmac]

We are the only team who have not brought in a dead cert first 11 player.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Arguably the only team that does not need to.
Perez is our only significant out. And we all know the pros and cons there anyway.

I think SFC are still weak.
I think Adelaide, the two Melbournes and Perth have clearly recruited the strongest.

But it's a team sport, and I wouldn't swap our team for any other.

 

[finally retired]

Sydney forum showing Susak linked to a return to AUFC, although I didn't think Adelaide had any spots for more foreigners? Love the URL name though....very appropriate verhead: . http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/soccer/Twat-fit-for-clash-with-phoenix/story-e6frepmf-1226146027181
(Twat fit for Phoenix clash........)

 

[Marquee]

Susak isn't a foreigner. Although there can't be anymore room in their salary cap surely?

 

[finally retired]

doh.....yep, just looked up his bio and have seen he's Aussie

 

[Marquee]

AUFC have just signed both Anthony Golec and Milan Susak. Salary cap audit anyone?

http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/218573,milan-susak-and-antony-golec-join-adelaide.aspx

 

[dibo]

They'd both be cheap squad fillers. They obviously haven't been in high demand or else they'd have been signed already.

Trent McClenahanis is currently on an 8-Week injury replacement contract for Scott Neville With Perth Glory ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_McClenahan

 

[Jerem]

whoever said we should go for allsopp should be executed!
in the LA game he cant score in a brothel!!
and is very SLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW

 

[dibo]

To be fair, I was suggesting we pay him in magic beans.

...and even then, only if someone could spare some magic beans.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Magic beans? We don't even have two peanuts to rub together.

Certainly do with a goose that can lay golden eggs though...

Does it have to be a goose .... when I look at the management of some of the other clubs... maybe the cow that shat the golden whatever...

[style_cafe]

I really don`t think Sydney FC need another "faceless" man on their board.
