Looks like the club had a clause in it that allowed them to release him after a season. Be interesting to see where he goes next.

Last time i checked, Melbourne Victory needed a defensive midfielder.

Mabil has played nearly 50 games this season for club and country thats a big shift for an ex a-league player.. has probably struggled a bit the last few weeks.. cant wait to see how he goes next year with a nice break..

And Arnie isn't exactly famous for going back on grudges.

So it's interesting he can get game time in one of the biggest leagues in the Bundesliga and famous teams in Schalke but for some reason, he could not get a game for any a-league side let alone Sydney FC?

Shows how dysfunctional our player ID and pathways here in this country, how more out there that need that chance? 

Good on him and congrats for his debut! 

Didn't realise this, i expect Greece will pick him before we do.

Yes and no. in Europe it's common place for players to move abroad for game time and opportunities 

Because it isn’t true.

I don't think Greece would go after him, unless they were completely stuffed for CB options, or they just wanna tie him down.

They've certainly sounded out players well ahead of time for that reason before, approaching Ikon and Armenekas.

Milligan starting what should be his last game for Hibs.

Bozanic and Edwards on the bench v Celtic, Rogic not in the squad.

Where exactly has this arnie grudge rubbish came from? Or is it just usual baseless arnie hate. Timotheu was behind Jurman Buijs Wilkinson and Zullo in a double winning season of arguably one of the best sides in the leagues history. That’s why he didn’t play nothing else. 

Its also worth noting hes been palying a very low level most of the season and got a game in a final dead rubber. Still thrilled he got a bundesliga game though.

Edwards subbed on early for Hearts

Usual baseless Arnie hate.

The argument some of the Arnie haters use is that Arnie is biased against Victory because Troisi and Antoinis weren’t picked in the Asian Cup squad. This argument is easily debunked as Troisi was in average form at the time, Antoinis had a few players ahead of him in his position and Arnie also gave Deng his Roos debut and appointed him as Olyroos captain.

I'm loving the positive play and promise from Karamoko Dembele (and the other young lads) in his debut match.  I've (has have others) been waiting for him to make his debut for a while now. He hasn't let down. 🙂🍀

arnold was pretty conservative with youth at sfc, unlike his time at ccm

If he is good enough for a game here and there for schalke he is good enough for a game here and there in the bundesliga

Dembeles wiki page is hilarious.

The off-season and the run up to next season will be interesting 

especially since its a position we desperately need players in...along with pretty much every position that isn't gk or midfield

Just noticed Timotheou's contract is expiring June 30. Hopefully and extension or a full time gig at least Liga 3 level. 

Goals for Giannou and Holland

so who is our best player in our national team after the season?

matty ryan? anyone else?| 

Hehe... Just imagine what it may be like once he actually starts playing matches (he has only played 45mins as of last night)?? 😃😉🍀

Because the pathways are a lot bigger over there, logic! 

There is no Arnie grudge here. 

From memory, the only people I've seen push the 'Arnie has a grudge' theory on here are Pala and Iknowbest.

Zac Anderson has left Perak.

✈️Bali bound with the #Thaiairways team. Looking forward to catching some sun, unwinding and discovering the culture, especially the local cuisine 🤤. Anyone have recommendations? ThaiAirway #smoothassilk

As in who played best this season? Would have to be Ryan. Irvine had a very solid year. Luongo contributed well. Happy to set up an awards list or lead to more discussion.
