$10,000 for 10,000 Members, so we've set a target?

I note we haven't dropped prices, if memory serves I paid $390 for my platinum last season, up to $410 now.

Surely we'll get nowhere near 10k members? Not trying to be pessimistic, but surely 7-8k would be pretty ambitious as it is?

I guess, aim high, and if you get anywhere near that's a good effort.

Olympic winger Jai Ingham is currently trialing with us.

Anyone got more info on him?

A couple of tweets going around at the moment.

Very interesting. I'm assuming the French guy is Douplan?

Hopefully, and it's Roar not Raw [-(

Frenchman still remains possible in Utrecht
Chances are that Edouard Duplan (30) his expiring contract at FC Utrecht still extends. Previous conversations about bounced off in the past.

Duplan refused to renew for personal reasons.'s Expiring contract Indeed, he wanted a club closer to home, but now his girlfriend has found a job in The Hague, things are different. Also ADO Den Haag and NAC Breda show interest in the winger.

"Given his personal situation changes, we sit down after the season again with Edouard around the table," says Wilco van Schaik, technical director at Utrecht. "The door is ajar again. He is currently on holiday in Greece, where he will take a decision. "Button on his future http://www.nieuwsblad.be/sportwereld/cnt/DMF20130613_00621484

That last tweet fills me with so much excitement. Petratos i dont mind as he will be Aussie. But Ferreira? Really? Taking MVs scraps. You have a frenchman, a guy from Celtic and a German on trial who all have good raps and you going for Ferreira. Nothing abou Ferreira excites me at all.

We get Ferreira and then we leaving it up to Australian Immigration on that other foreigner. DIMIA are not the most reliable government organisation. Unless maybe we were going in to an ashes series, then might be a different story.

Well we could always release Do.

I just realised he is Australian.

You're thinking of Julius Doe.

Any further word on duplan?

Mike Mulvey will be on SST in 5 minutes.

Broich named in inaugural All Stars team

Brisbane Roar midfielder Thomas Broich has been named as one of the first three players in the Foxtel A-League All Stars team, alongside Western Sydney Wanderers defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley and Brett Emerton of Sydney FC.

Following the compilation of votes from fans, players, the All Stars Expert Panel and Head Coach Ange Postecoglou, the three players, as well as the inaugural jersey, were unveiled at Carriageworks in Sydney this morning.

“This is a chance to showcase the Hyundai A-League to the world, taking on one of the biggest clubs in world football,” said FFA CEO David Gallop.

“With the creation of an annual event that celebrates the most popular players and coaches in the Hyundai A-League it is fantastic to be able to announce Thomas, Nikolai and Emmo as well as unveiling the inaugural All Stars jersey.

“Hyundai A-League fans voted in resounding numbers and as the team begins to take shape under Ange Postecoglou’s leadership there is a great anticipation for the match on 20 July.”

The final Foxtel A-League All Stars squad will be announced on 13 July, meaning other Brisbane Roar players are still a chance to feature in Postecoglou’s playing group for the match against the current English Premier League Champions.

For those who missed it a quick recap:

We started our recruitment early by promoting Lambadaridis and Brown to the senior squad.

On Liam Miller, very excited to bring him to the club. Particularly about his composure and passing ability.

Went on a scouting trip to Costa Rica and Europe to look specifically at two targets. Made an offer to the one in Europe (Duplan) But it didn't work.

Several players currently trailing, in no rush to make any signings. Will be taken our time. "Won't be making signings for the hell of it". But it did sound like some guys were already signed and just waiting for the perfect time to announce them.

At least three to four signings to be made.

Also spoke about the NPL.
