Rest of A-League Transfer (Now with 99% RR - Love your work)

Yeah pretty strong squad now. Wonder if they will play like the Roar, or if Ange will try something different?

Sydney FC has signed Croatian striker Krunoslav Lovrek to bolster the Sky Blues attack for the 2012/13 Hyundai A-League season.

The 32-year-old, who represented Croatia at U19, U20 and U21 level, joins Sydney FC from Chinese Super League side Qingdao Jonoon and will start pre season training with the rest of the Sky Blues squad on 16 July.

Former Socceroo Mile Sterjovski has cut short his stay in China and will return to the A-League to join Central Coast Mariners, who have beaten off a strong bid from Sydney FC for his signature.

Central Coast Mariners can this morning confirm media speculation that former Qantas Socceroo utility Mile Sterjovski has agreed terms with the Club on an initial one-season contract.

A-League champions Brisbane Roar have suffered a blow with Bahraini defender Mohamed Adnan choosing to return to his family in the Middle East.

is that new Panamanian guy any good?

Hope they haven't uncovered the new Ifill!

Also, has anyone heard news about Inzaghi moving to Australia?

I can start working on a funny banner as soon as he signs on the dotted line!

Also, has anyone heard news about Inzaghi moving to Australia?

Mark Milligan back to the Victory for a new 3 year deal.

Dogged Adelaide United midfielder Francisco ‘Pancho’ Usucar will not suit up for the Reds next season after deciding to continue his career back in his home continent.

The former Uruguayan U-20 and U-17 representative has attracted interest from a club in Ecuador and has signalled his interest to the Reds of his desire to move on.

Central Coast Mariners are on the verge of losing their captain, after the club granted Alex Wilkinson permission to talk to K-League side Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

The Mariners deny any deal has already been done between the clubs for their skipper, but the club are willing to let the long-serving defender explore the opportunity.

Also there are rumours that Princess will leave the Victory for South Korea[/quote]Seems it was the wrong Melbourne team. Heart are set to lose Hamill according to media reports.

[quote]Melbourne Heart teenager Brendan Hamill is set to become the latest Australian defender to join the exodus to Korea by signing for Seongnam Ilhwa.

Just seven months after penning a contract extension with Heart, the 19-year-old Australia Under-23 international has been lined up to replace departed Socceroos centre-back Sasa Ognenovski at the 2010 Asian Champions League winner.

Melbourne Heart FC has secured its key attacking weapon for the Hyundai A-League 2012/13 season with the signing of former Dinamo Zagreb striker Josip Tadic.

Could be a good signing, 24 yrs old and decent pedigree. Seems to have had a bad couple of seasons, so looking to re-ignite his career.

 

Tadic is an absolute donkey.

 

Just looking at his record would suggest that he is not a donkey.

THE mystery Socceroo who has expressed interest in joining Adelaide United is former Brisbane Roar midfielder Adam Sarota.

Sarota, who plays with Dutch side Utrecht, is approaching the end of a three-year deal signed in 2010 and appears open to a move back to Australia.

But it's unlikely to be to Hindmarsh, with Reds coach John Kosmina unconvinced about whether the twice-capped national team player is the right fit for his squad.

"I think he's a quality player but would I use him to replace what I've got at the moment?" Kosmina said. "He's asking for a decent contract as well. Would that money be better spent elsewhere?"

The Reds have ramped up their search for a foreign recruit after the departures of Daniel Mullen (China) and Francisco Usucar (Ecuador) in the past fortnight.

Kosmina is looking for an attacking midfielder/forward and a left-sided central midfielder.

"I would best describe what I'm looking for right now as a more dynamic, creative type of player," Kosmina said.

"(And) we're looking for a lefty. I'd like to get a ball-playing left-footer for a more central role ... (at the moment) we've got right-footers playing in left-sided positions."

The Reds have already missed three players they were seriously considering:

JUAN Manuel Varea, an Argentinian attacking midfielder who has signed in Azerbaijan;

LUCAS Nania, an Argentinian midfielder who has decided to stay in his home country; and,

FILIPE da Costa, a Portuguese midfielder signed in Cyprus.

Kosmina is making inquiries about an Argentinian left-sided defensive midfielder who was "out of this world" but had "had a lot of injuries".

He appears keen to add at least one new signing before the Reds' Asian Champions League quarter-final against Bunyodkor on September 19.

WESTERN Sydney Wanderers are in the box seat to secure a financially smart deal as emerging Socceroo Adam Sarota's wage bill will be subsidised by his Dutch club.

Melbourne Heart have agreed to terms with South Korean club Seongnam Ilhwa for defender Brendan Hamill.

Brisbane Roar has secured the services of South Korean winger Do Dong-Hyun to their Hyundai A-League squad.

The 19-year-old, who has represented his country at U-20s level, trialled with the Roar squad at the latter end of last season and has returned to Australia to put pen to paper, pending an international clearance.

Do’s three-year contract will keep him at the club until the end of the 2014/15 season.

They must be fairly certain he's going to be very good. With such a lengthy contract maybe they're hoping to sell him on in a coupke of seasons?

[/quote]I guess that would be the plan. Not really much info around about him, so will be interesting to see if he is any good.

[quote]Central Coast Mariners captain Alex Wilkinson has agreed to terms with K-League side Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC on a two-and-a-half year contract.

Adelaide United FC is continuing in its search for new additions to the squad with two overseas players set to head to Adelaide on trial.

American Dexter Rosales and Sydney based Portuguese forward Fabio Ferreira have agreed to train with the Reds, giving Coach John Kosmina a chance to have a first hand look at what they have to offer.

The Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets are trialling former Scottish international striker Mark Burchill.

Burchill has paid his own way to Australia to take part in a week-long trial with the Jets.

The 31-year-old striker represented Scotland six times between 1999 and 2000 and his previous Clubs include Celtic, Brimingham City and Portsmouth.

He most recently played for INSEE Police United FC in the Thailand Premier League under former Adelaide United assistant coach Phil Stubbins.

Sounds like the kinda thing the nix would pickup - if the jets dont sign him dont be suprised to see him trialling in our fair city soon

Melbourne Heart FC has strengthened its attacking armoury with the signing of striker Dylan Macallister for the Hyundai A-League 2012/13 season.

Macallister, 30, has signed a two-year deal to link up with Heart and follows the arrivals of attackers Josip Tadic and former Gold Coast United speedster Golgol Mebrahtu.
