These should be Australian Football section, it is no rumour.

Korean clubs are so weird, he'll be back in 3 months

Good luck to him, he was in the best form of his life in the latter part of last season.

Best of luck to him, was never appreciated at United, looking at you Sammy.

Looking like a very depleted squad at the moment....
Will he be replaced by a know striker ( or foreign marquee ) or being the club with tight finances, probably be a youth player who will replace him

He'll be joining Romeo Castelen. He's done alright for himself over there.

Win a Grand Final, loss all your players.

Eh. Average A-League player tbh. Nothing spesh.

it is the nature of our competition

every player looking to improve their lot in life hal is just a stepping stone

Scrap the cap !

Not sure that would change anything as far as Adelaide goes except, perhaps, more players leaving.

Yeah but. What's the fee we're getting?

Whatever it is, it's going straight into Griffin's pocket.

doesnt even get a chance for the entire team to have a crack at the acl because some of them are gone

Yup, we should have read between the lines

As it should.

exactly... hahah

He was quite important within the Adelaide set-up. Did a lot of work off the ball creating space for the overlapping midfielders.

Not to mention after he actually started scoring last season he ended up with 11 goals in 14 matches.

we will def need to sign a striker now. hopefully amor can pull a few strings.

Well, I'd like to reiterate my stance last week that I am nervous we are a few players short of being contenders again.

Yes, I know we have Amor and yes, I know last year people said the same.

Not as easy to replace Bruce in our system as some others we may have lost. Something tells me that system is going to have to be tweaked. We have less pacey wingers and no target man to hold up for attacking midfielders.

Anyway, if the last foreign spot was going to a winger/2nd striker, this move has made that interesting. Hope we don't have a season like poor Holosko with a career winger played as a striker.

Yes, I know Amor is amazing. I think I mentioned that.

hopefully he continues his rich run of scoring form and we can finally have a roo that can hit the side of a barn

Huh? Holosko is a career right winger that played there and scored a very respectable 10 goals and a few assists in a dire attacking side? Not sure what point you're making

To slightly refill

That he was much maligned in the media and other people earlier in the season for a barren run of goals and hwo many times did he have to come out and explain he was a winger not a striker.....I'm 99% sure that happened in the season just gone. Am I misremembering? Was it just that he was expected to score more than he did early on and not that he was actually played as a striker?

I like Holosko
