SST saying deals are close.

This plus the Hoole signing makes it looks like okon is literally just trying to reunite the 2013 under 20's team's frontline. I have no problem with this

I hope they go after Marino Howard and Blackwood 

Blackwood is rumoured to be an Adelaide target although I am not sure how without a coach being signed. Marino is apparently waiting for a new coach to come in and make a decision on his future at Adelaide.

Disappointed if Danny doesnt come back to Perth.

Blackwood was absolute shithouse at FC and he had SOOOO many opportunities. He does have some talent on the technical side of things but at his age with that many opportunities he should have put many more away. He is a striker after all.

Massive backwards step for Da Silva. Stick it out in Europe.

Anyone else reading this as Ho-zay Ro-zay?

Haven't you heard? Gosford is in Europe, according to Hoole anyway.

De Silva needs gametime first and foremost. If he joined a stronger club i guess it's less likely he'll be a regular starter so joining a weak club like the Mariners may actually help him.

It's also good for his development being "the main man" or outlet to create opportunities for his side.
With Pain and Hoole on the wings he does have pace where he can release dangerous through balls and looks like a star in doing so.
