GALLOWAY SIGNS WITH ADELAIDE UNITED:


Adelaide United have signed Australia youth international Scott Galloway for the upcoming A-League season.

Galloway has recently been training with the Reds as a trialist during pre-season and impressed coach Marco Kurz enough to earn a one-year contract.

He also featured in two of United’s pre-season friendlies against West Torrens Birkalla and Adelaide Olympic. The versatile 23-year-old defender can play as a left-back or a right-back.

“It feels great to join Adelaide United and I’m really excited to be part of this fantastic club,” Galloway said.

“I knew coming here, initially on trial, I would have to impress Marco, but I was always confident that I’d be able to do that by playing my football.

“Now I want to take my game to the next level and I think that at this great club with the quality team around me and experienced coaches guiding me, I can do that.

“I want this to be the biggest season of my career by helping the club be successful through winning games and winning silverware.”

Galloway began his A-League career with Melbourne Victory in 2013, and has since plied his trade with Central Coast Mariners and, most recently, Wellington Phoenix, accumulating 100 league appearances and scoring three goals.

Kurz commended the former U20 and U23 international for his efforts in earning a contract.

“We have been impressed with Scott and his performances in the pre-season friendlies recently,” Kurz said.

“It is never easy being a trialist, but he worked hard in the training sessions and made some good appearances for us against Birkalla and Olympic.

“We’re happy to sign him as part of the team for the upcoming season and we are confident his quality will add to our team.”

Galloway will wear the number 3 shirt for the Reds and becomes the club’s 24th contracted player for 2018/19.

Hmmm....shakes head.

 

[Rowdy]

"Were happy to sign him as part of the team" ...... = 'Squaddie'

Based on how he was devoloping with us prior to him going on trial overseas, Galloway could've/would've maybe 'owned' our LB position (wouldnt have needed Clisby bc of Rowles)

... even maybe pushed McGing for RB if the latter's form happens to drop this season.

We'll just have to wait nc

Daniel Garb reporting that Flamini is close to signing with Brisbane

 

[Rowdy]

Flamini ..... he'll look good in an Orange jersey.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Daniel Arzani is being sold to Manchester City and then loaned to Celtic by the looks of it.

 

[Josho Howe]

Flamini would be a decent signing. Played La Liga last season and was a regular for Arsenal 2-3 years ago. Should still be able to do a job even at 34.

 

[pjennings]

Honda to Victory to be announced at 10 am tomorrow

No excuses for Aloi$i this season. They have recruited exceptionally well.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Honda confirmed.
One MV player is worth more than our entire squad.
f**k this

f**k this

But we got simon and mcglinchy and they HAD culture. Apparently with culture you don’t need quality ???.

Oh wait ??? .......... victory have culture, still have culture and lots of silverware ........... why don’t they recruit players that used to play for them years ago ???......... are they nuts ????

 

[FFC Mariner]

Hey, at least the age of mediocrity is over...............

Hey, at least the age of mediocrity is over...............

Is that like when Abbott told us the adults are now in charge?

Sydney FC rumoured to be making a play for Spaniard striker Álvaro Negredo from his current club, Besiktas as their Marquee signing.

But they face competition from Cardiff City looking to strengthen their EPL campaign this season, with a £3 million offer for the Spaniard.

Negredo has Premier League experience, having won the Premier League title back in 2014 with the Manchester City.



The Turkish side would be likely to accept an offer from Cardiff, due to his wages.

Negredo, 32, was not included in either matchday squad as Besiktas progressed past Faroese side B36 Tórshavn 8-0 on aggregate in Europa League qualifying.

The 32-year-old has only been at Beşiktaş for a year, having signed from Valencia for €27 million. He made 42 appearances, scoring 15 goals as they qualified for the Europa League.

Negredo has 68 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 18 goals for Manchester City and Middlesbrough. He scored against Cardiff in Manchester City’s 3-2 defeat to Cardiff City back in 2013.

 

[Wombat]

I'd be surprised if they could afford him. Be a great signing.

 

[Josho Howe]

He would rip it up here. I doubt he'd come here though when he's got an offer to go back to the Premier League
