Well Lou Sticca is off one a last minute dash to Italy at present to try and secure another huge fish for the HAL, Pirlo, with SFC being the most likely destination. And while it's reported that Pirlo's very close to signing with NYC nothing has been signed yet.

Maybe he fancies picking up from where ADP left off and leaving a lasting legacy to a developing football nation..?

All football fans can only hope he signs for a team, any team in the A League, as it would be amazing to have him here.

If SFC do miss out on him there's apparently a very ambitious wish list of marquees we're looking to sign, and a chequebook to go with it.

With all the talk of TV deals, a few big names coming to the league would certainly increase ratings for potential buyers...

Source is nothing concrete, just a bunch of discussions from journos on Twitter including Gatt, SST ( i know) and others...
