COACH John Kosmina yesterday labelled the A-League's transfer system "crazy", with four experienced Sydney FC players set to jump ship as cashed-up new franchises raid the local market.

Defenders Robbie Middleby, Iain Fyfe and Jacob Timpano and striker Brendon Santalab are all expected to part company with the club after rejecting new offers.

But Kosmina says he regards players signing for new clubs when the current season is not even half over as very disruptive.

"I think the whole process is flawed," he said.

"I know you can speak to players six months before the expiration of their contract.

"But if you go back to October 1, what, we'd played five rounds in the A-League and you've already got players
--------------------------

Oh, so now he complains when the transfer system doesn't suit him!

All I heard was "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah".

It's the way it's down the world over Johnny boy (except it's done in January). Get used to it.

My God - he've be farken raving about it if he was picking us some players during this period.

He shits me the tears...

 

[BAD BULLZ]

Well with the slight exception of sambablab he should be stoked imo id be happy to lose those guys make room for more mere shadows

Oh f**k off Kossie, as if you ain't spoken to anyone coming off contract! WANKER

Players only have a short period to earn as much as they can so of course they are going to listen to all offers, if I was on a contract at work for 6 months and another company wanted to talk to me and offer perhaps a 2 years contract of course you would listen and do the best thing for yourself and family.

It's healthy for the Australian game if the new clubs take some of the squad players from other teams, it will help develop them further and improve the quality of the league.

But but Kossie and Sackme FC are the ONLY ones that are important.

Whinge Whinge whinge whine.... the whole world is against me... nothing is good enough for Bling FC, Blah Blah Blah

 

[From the dug out]

Wasn't it a mid-year deal that gave him the opportunity to be the Sydney FC dickhead of all dickheads?

 

[ponno]

Poor Kossie .... he needs to realise its just the way it is in professional sport these days

 

[BAD BULLZ]

Kossie would you like some cheese with that wine

 

[dbryant]

Farken winnah. Put this one in the memory bank and we'll sing it when we play the mothers again.

So let me see if I have this right.

Player is coming off contract and SFC make them and offer. This offer is then either shopped around by the player or other clubs try to compete.

if this is what happened, WTF is he whining about?

When I last looked, we had a competitive labour market and players are no different to any other employee. They have a limited career lifespan and can hardly be blamed for going for max money TO DO EXACTLY THE SAME JOB with another employer. IF SFC wanted them so badly, pay more money. Simple really.

The man just makes himself look a tool everytime he opens his mouth doesnt he?

 

[tuftman]

My diagnosis- Whingevitus
Cure-Kick in the head

Harden up Kossie, seriously, every club is affected by it...just because SFC can't hide behind the FFA on this doesn't mean you whinge about it.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I dont think he can handle pressure - he couldnt at Adelaide and hopefully we are getting close to a huge Kossie "incident"

Wanker

 

[MattSimon]

Did you see him bristle tonight? Simon Hill asks him if Sydney FC is in crisis having secured only 5 points from 18, and K Dog responds: "We're not in crisis, maybe there's a crisis in your job!"

Oh yeah, commentary is in real turmoil. It's like Wall Street at Fox Sports right now.

John Kosmina Fury >>> North Queensland Fury

 

[Mariner Girl]

KosMOANA is one step from another ban I reckon, if he keeps this behaviour up.

 

[Blackadder]

Another poor result and another sook post game, must really be testing the patience of SFC management.
