The squad as it stands includes Isaias, Baba Diawara, Tarek Elrich, Michael Marrone, Taylor Regan, Ben Garuccio, Paul Izzo, Riley McGree, Nikola Mileusnic, Jordan O’Doherty, Ryan Kitto, Daniel Margush, Benjamin Warland and Lachlan Brook.
Might be able to pick up Mitch Nichols on the cheap. May not be able to play WP away matches.

 
Nikola Mileusnic
Seriously? I let him off when I thought he was a youngster then saw he was about 24 and simply couldn't fathom how or why he got so many opportunities. I mean the answer is clearly we had fuck all other options but still. Give a youngster a chance that may actually improve and give you something in the future. I'm guessing he was already signed on for another year as opposed to being offered a new contract.

He had an option for a second year in his contract which the club used. I thought he improved a lot over the season and can still improve, happy he will be at the club next year. Still we need to sign some quality out wide as crosses to Baba is going to be a productive way of scoring if the team has players who can regularly cross well.

or, might not be able to play outside NSW, depends on parole conditions

Good thing Mells and Makarounas have gone- wonder which clubs would be deluded enough to take them...?

Mells is heading overseas, he is still young. I still think he can be a good player, he was sick at the start of this season and that ruined his seasons. Last season he showed a bit.

Disagree.. he seemed to be a peripheral figure who never seemed to be up to A League standard. I suppose there may be a chance that he could develop in some Asian league.

Yep, he was shaping up to be Watson V2.0 to be honest. Was never that adventurous with the ball, far too conservative and ability wise seemed a bit limited. Good luck to him in the future and all but he's not a loss for us. 

Mells recently tweeted he had "another opportunity abroad" I'm guessing somewhere in Greece or around the Mediterranean area, however for Makarounas, Fuck me, the amount of opportunity the bloke has had to grab a starting position at MV and AU, I honestly don't even think he is NPL 1 standard in Victoria anymore would be a good pick up for GV Suns, the way he has progressed. Trust me, I really thought he was going to be like a Dimi Petratos type player and I wanted him to be but... something just didn't click for him.

Carrusca had no chance of staying at the club as a visa player, but by becoming an Aussie Citizen, which I don't think will be finalised until his ceremony in July, he might be given another contract.
Everything I have read until this article indicated La Rocca was still possibly signing another contract, but perhaps that has changed in the last couple of days.

The club needs to find a new coach very quickly so final decisions can be made on a number of players including Carrusca, Galekovic, Ocheing and Marino

The silence is deafening! Already I'm prepared to accept the wooden spoon, what is going on?
No coach, a squad that is paper thin and has been left by way too many good players in my opinion, but not replacing Cirio yet is frightening, as is Dylan McGowen.
I hope the blokes that make the decisions are reading this, because we had in-action last season and only escaped the spoon at the death and CCM will be in the finals this year I'm sure.

Apparently the club is aiming to have a coach in place by the end of the month, so this week, and then decisions will be made on some players and signing can be made. If that timetable can happen then it is excellent but I am not expecting anything.

I feel for you redcup. Baro would have been a good capture so too Khalfalla - the internal a league merry go round seems to be happening sooner this year so you need someone making the transfer calls soon

NPL at their best, probably Victorian NPL, although it may be too late for them already as they're not really all that good

But, but, according to the club there is no problem because the rubbish they replaced our premiership squad with was paid the same salaries

Well McGowan has gone and Regan is here permanently, Elsey will hopefully be back from injury along with Warland. The question is whether La Rocca stays or we get a replacement for him. I suspect it will be between Elsey, who was good enough but who knows what a second knee reconstruction has done to him, Regan, who I think is not good enough and Warland who has not proven himself to be good enough, to partner La Rocca or his replacement. If La Rocca can get back into good form and if Elsey makes a successful recovery and play at his best next season with Warland and Regan as back up it is not a disastrous position, but I would prefer another higher quality CB than Regan.

Hey all, I noticed Lachlan Brook is included in the squad for next season. Having seen him at youth level for the national team I was immensely impressed by him, and I recall that he made a brief cameo in the last AFC Champions League game for the club too. That's great stuff for someone who only just turned 16! Does everyone else here rate him highly too? Anyone think he'll get a shot at the A-League next season? He is definitely one to keep an eye on!

He is part of the NPL squad but he does not seem to be starting at that level although he has scored off the bench. It was a bit of a surprise he was given some time in the ACL game. I doubt he will get a lot of time next season but he does seem to be an exciting talent. Last years NPL side had McGree, O'Doherty, Tongyik, Koutrombis, Margush and Warland so it seems like he is in a good place for developing players.

Knowing Adelaide at the moment I wouldnt be expecting more than John Kosmina

According to The Advertiser, United are now targeting a coach who has experience in Germany's Bundesliga, and is expected to arrive in Adelaide in June.

plot twist 

Kosmina wont come back to AUFC... Kosmina dislikes the board and the board dont like outspoken people....

no way.....
anyone think it's Roger Schmidt ?

Just been sacked from Bayer Leverkusen

Or when does Thomas Broich finish his managerial training?

C'Mon keep up, a new coach appointed we've all been waiting for that!
Marco Kurz, Agostino can introduce him to what the HAL is, standard wise I reckon.

So that's our strikeforce sorted :pinch: All we need now is a couple of flying fullbacks who can cross, a tall good CB and a silky AM and we should be right to challenge for the FFA cup - that's a fair way off isn't it?  

It might not be related to you guys anymore but Marcelo Carussca is now an Aussie citizen, he won't be classified as a foreign player next season.

We knew about Celo. He didn't accept the club's offer, so now he's a free agent and can play for whoever offers him the most. He may even decide to play in Argentina, but at his age I doubt it, anyway being an Australian citizen is only useful in the HAL. and if your club plays ACL.
He could of played last year, but it appeared that Amor disliked something he saw in Celo.
