Perth Glory announcement expected today too. Should announce who's leaving and finally a propper announcement on Kim and Wuthrich leaving. Club also furious at Castro and feel let down. Not happy with Thomas James either

Western United have confirmed the departure of Valentino Yuel, Thierry Iradukunda, Oskar Dillon, and Patrick Antelmi.

Refreshed 442. Nothing new. Went to shop and came home and refreshed 442. To see that thread at the top seemed like an absolute prank. Was immediately apparent it was true. Dust is settling and good luck to him. Time will tell.

Yep I certainly experienced a roller coaster of emotions last night! Really didn’t believe it at first - was super shocked when it turned out to be true. 

What a window it has been so far. I bet Bowden couldn'T believe his eyes with the Mooy tweet yesterday and then seeing it deleted would've added confusion. Then it spread like a wildfire. 

Still absolutely nothing on Leckie. Hertha have a game today against PSV.

Some interesting links of Irvine to AFC Wimbledon of all places.

100% FIFA beast, he’s reached 88 rated starting for Barcelona In season 27/28 on my save currently.

He's more than capable we know that, I'm just saying its a very good league outside of the big 5 leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France) for him to develop his game.

It will make it into a better player and make him more capable of joining a top 5 league or team in the future.

There has been rumours in the past that the Belgian Liga and the Eredivisie might merge and therefore make that league ever stronger so he's at a good place.

Being linked to Macarthur via AL HUB on Instagram.

There is a lot of hype around Cacace from international fans of football, apparently he's a beast on career mode on FIFA, and he's got a cult following.
There are a lot of people keen to see him do well. 

I 100% agree with you.

I think it’s only a matter of time before he plays in a big 5 league.

He more than likely can, but in all honesty its a great first move and a proven career map for up and coming players. He will most certainly get more game time than if he went to a more established league. I would say once he does well and he will, he will still get noticed and make a good move. Hopefully this is just a stepping stone. 

I didn’t say that, did I? 

I said that he’s so good that he can play at an even higher level.

How could anyone not conclude the Belgian Liga isn’t a quality league for him...great move for him and for NZ football.

Cacace has officially joined Muscat’s club. Great signing by Kev but I think he can play at an even higher level.

Thats not a knock on the Belgian league, I think he’s just that good.

Popovic to Macarthur confirmed

Ivan Franjic has left Glory. He's said he's not going anywhere but i've heard he's got an agreement (outside of victoria)

Agree. Gabriel is getting more first team experience than any other Aussie of his age so he will improve and develop and should have a good future. As I said, he was prolific in the junior levels, and was a good prospect at WSW, playing up. 

K-Pop is good but his younger brother isn't that good yet given his only 17.

its a good point. At some point they have to step out of their comfort zone, and look to forge their own careers. Kpop looks as though he's a bolt on starter for Glory if he stays next season. If he leaves at all, I think he should return to WSW.

I wonder what his sons will do. Kristian is a A-League standard already, he’s been impressive in his last few games, and is only 19. Gabriel is 17, and has great experience for his age, he has looked quite off the pace at times this season and his touch often lets him down, but he has shown improvement and was a prolific scorer at junior level. Both have futures in the A-League. 

According to Louise Taffa on Twitter, he’s off to Xanthi FC. The Sydney Olympic president is involved with them apparently.

Antonis Popodopoulos-vic.

Michael Jakobsen is rumoured to be leaving AU as well which is a big loss.

I hope he finds a new club bc I think he has talent, even if he hasn’t really fulfilled it yet.

Simce joining AU, he averages about 5 goals a season which is more than most backup strikers get, especially with Blackwood playing a lot in midfield and on the wing in the last couple of seasons.

Maybe Melbourne Victory could be his new club, given Athiu will surely be released.

George Blackwood released from AU. Sydney boy, Macarthur perhaps.

Anyone else hearing rumours of Popa to Greece?

excellent news for Jordan Courtney Perkins!

Transfermarkt going early with announcing Nick Suman to Macarthur.

Daniel Bowles has retired and is now working on expanding his cafe business.

leckie got minutes today against ajax

played the entire second half - subbed for the #9 - but hertha scored no goals so that's not great
