Adelaide - The Pissant Thread
Adelaide's most wanted.
Vidosic off overseas http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/adelaideunited/news-display/Vidosic-on-his-way-to-Swiss-club/73577
And sounds like they have pulled out of the Indonesian tournament because it has been postponed until just before the A-League season kicks off.
Lustica confirmed to Adelaide
Lost 1-nil to CCM in a friendly. Matt Thompson is one trial for the Reds and came off the bench.
Neumann crashed to the ground at Coopers Stadium screaming in pain during a game of 'keep off.'
The Argentine left Coopers Stadium with his left arm in a sling.
"I don't know what happened, I heard a crack like my shoulder is dislocated, " he said. "I'm going for scans now."
More to come...
They already have Cassio & Djite suffering with long term injury concerns.
The 22 year old, who has spent the past seven years at Danish club Brondby, joins the Reds for an initial four week stint as an injury replacement for Bruce Djite who is recovering from an ankle injury.
However, Adelaide United General Manager – Football Operations, Michael Petrillo confirmed there is a view to possibly extending McGrath’s contract until the end of the season if things work out. If this was to eventuate, McGrath would fill the spot on the playing roster of Teeboy Kamara, who is currently on the long term injury list.
Reports coming out of Adelaide that Gombau has been offered a 2 year extension.
You are joking
He'll come right im sure. Had no room in roster
Gombau lost it at their press conference today, look forward to hearing what he said.

"In professional football, I understand, results (are important) but in this league, without relegation, what happens if a team invests one year to be strong for next season?" Gombau said.
"Nobody's thinking this? Nobody's thinking that the important thing is maybe you need to make one pass back to make three passes forward?

I like that guy, he has great side profile and looks angry even when he smiles. Those media questions are always the same, mostly very stupid, try to get a certain answer. I can understand the frustration of the coaches answering the same shit week in and out.

I hope he accepted that 2-year extension offer before making that statement :-)

The loan deal will see the 19 year old remain with Kitchee until the end of May before returning to Adelaide to re-join the Reds for the lead up to the Hyundai A-League 2014/15 Season.
Marrone out for 4 months with a broken leg.
McKain calling in the PFA over money he believes he is owed by Adelaide.
If we get this 'plus three rule' allowed by the ffa. It would be awesome if he got one of the spots....even though hes looking for work in asia
Adelaide United is the latest A-League club to fall into financial difficulties with revelations emerging the club is unprofitable and behind on payments. United are not the only A-League club to find themselves in the red recently with Newcastle Jets being put up for sale and Central Coast Mariners also rumoured to be struggling to stay afloat.
Sack the A-League
LOL at this coming out in the same week as calls for a second Adelaide team. It's not surprising though basically all teams are unsustainable if they don't have someone backing them up. Adelaide also uses two marquee players (Carrusca I know is one of them). It just enables them to pay a little bit over the salary cap in total salary without going after a real star player. I suppose for Adelaide with their stadium situation it is difficult for them to really maximise revenue.
I don't think they will be buying Troisi off Juventus, anyway.
Hahahahahahaha 3-1
The news comes as the Reds announced they would hold a major press conference at 1pm today, to make “a major announcement about the direction of the club for the upcoming season.”
It is not known if this relates to the Gombau situation.
Despite having two years remaining on his contract, it’s understood Gombau will be released to complete a move to a cashed-up club which is in the midst of its season.
It’s believed Gombau is contemplating taking up a high-ranking position on the club’s coaching staff after meeting officials during Adelaide’s off-season break.
Reports that Gombau is off to NYCFC
From having watched Adelaide for two seasons under Gombau my impression is that he is a good coach who can get a team to play attractive football. I reckon he lacks a bit of nous required to create a champion team though. I suppose winning the FFA Cup has been something.
Yeah I recon he's overated.
Gombau: I will be the director at my own academy in New York and it's important for me to be closer to my home #ThanksJosep #TrustInAmor

Academy is unreleated to NYCFC, its a rather strange move tbh.
FFA's piece on the move alludes to family issues. Just genuinely needs to be closer to Spain, I guess.
So, what are the odds on Ramon getting the Adelaide job?
Good job I didn't put money on it then

He's signed another year's contract with ACFC.

Direct flight from the East Coast of the US is only 8 hours compared to 25-30 hours from Aus

Just signed Balbalj, Good signing, was hoping we would swoop in. The pool of decent Aus/NZ strikers is getting very thin now.
