I'm not entirely sure how reliable Soccer Stoppage Time on facebook is, but waking up on a Monday morning as a Sydney FC fan and seeing these two posts in your newsfeed...well let's say I'm feeling a little sick in the stomach should there be any truth in these posts.

So on Friday night they reported this...


And then this morning...




I'm going to lose it if this is true.

Can confirm that if this happens, aswell as if the Jerks sign Brosque, imma be throwing gifs everywhere :lol:

hehehe... Shitneys mid season sss'plosion happening early this year \:d/

in all his interviews he has said how happy he is to be back in sydney, for his families stake and he has also signed a new contract. I think he will stay.

They just looking for an audience, as if SFC would use them as a means to release the news.

Great way to lose cred 2MM.

@Gatty54: Nick Carle is the centre of a massive offer from the UAE but is unlikely to be tempted

Gatty is usually a pretty reliable source. Hope he stays, I wanted to see how well him and ADP would pair up

Carle has been playing Erik Paartalu's role in Rado's system... He's wasted there... That means when SFC are building attacks, he is playing CB, which is an insult to good football.

What have they done wrong?

Phwoar, that is sizeable cash. Know who the offer is from? I'm going to assume Baniyas.

I thought to play Paartalu's role in Rado's system you needed to be able to:
1) tackle
2) head

Sounds like Carle isn't exactly the best suit for the position. Also sounds like McFlynn has been frozen out, which is interesting.

Rumour has now been quelled, with recent FFT article with Carle quoted as denying the move?



Take solace that it's only relatively early stage pre-season? Also, SFC surely have alternate options for that possie they can/will try like Emerton, Grant or what not? I suppose it depends on the wider shape of the team though, how they shape up, especially midfield. I hear Emmo is playing central these days, so he's partnering/infront of Carle in the line.

I presumed Carle would be functioning like a 'deeper-lying playmaker' or link man between defence and midfield/attack? Culina fulfilled that role for a lil while before he departed. I know Farina has refined the approach/style, but again, Carle's talents... while he's unlikely to be in a possie in SFC's front half for reasons I suggest, I very much doubt he'd be soo deep to be regularly dropping into defence either? Carle/SFC might get killed on the counter?

Unless again, that IS the formation, the demands of the roles and that's all where Carle can fit, other positions have their unique demands suited to others (Like Emmo's pace/attacking play may be preferred/valued in that more advanced role, for instance?), and that's it?

Ah, so it's something like this?

----->WB/Warren....Yau
CB.......Abbas
.<--Carle......ADP.Gameiro
CB.......Emerton
----->WB/Bojic....Chianese

IF I have that right, I guess you could have Carle a bit more advanced, where say, I have Abbas/that possie? But it may also mean the link up between defence and midfield becomes a problem again?

Propoganda

False statement.

Fishing for an audience, if it was worded differently they would not have lost cred.
