Hope that's untrue. Loans are a poor pathway for Aussies in Europe. The clubs they get loaned to have no financial stake in their development. Typically they return to the A-L after a few seasons. We've seen this movie numerous times, particularly in Germany.

Chatter WSW are in talks with Sonny Kittel. Just wow. What a player.

That's very interesting. Immediate loan out would be crucial.

Reports Joe Gauci on the brink to sign for Aston Villa.

Behich's head has now obviously been elsewhere. Why would you care when you've just gotten a massive final pay day?

At least City can try another young left back. 

🔄 Deal Done 🤝🇸🇦📝

Aziz Behich will join Saudi Pro League side نادي النصر السعودي - AlNassr Saudi Club on loan until the end of the 2023/24 season following the #AsianCup2023.

Brisbane have signed Marco Rojas for the rest of the season.

Walter Scott has returned to Macarthur on a scholarship. Remarkably this is his 4th chance at AL level after mustering just 5 appearances in total at Perth, Wellington and during his first stint at Macarthur.

Wellington Phoenix have signed Costa Rican midfielder Youstin Salas on loan for the remainder of the 2023-24.

He is half-Thai himself and counts as a local player there.

Wellington have signed Youstin Salas on loan from Deportivo Sarprissa. He was part of Costa Rica's 2022 World Cup squad.

his misses is Thai or half Thai I think... so probably just looking enjoy the rest of his career rather than get ridiculed in the a-league.

Don't know what level the Slovenian league would be, but anything is better than never playing for Dinamo Zagreb. Hopefully this gets his career back on track & gets him back into the mix for the Socceroos 

Good move for him & the Olyroos. We need competition for that problem RB position.

Rawlins has returned to perth 

A couple that may not have been mentioned:
Deni Juric has gone to Koper in Slovenia on loan
Aaron Calver switched to Daejeon Habna in the Korean top flight.  Alex Grant was released but not sure where he has landed yet.
Rafael Rech went to a lower league team in Brazil to get first team football
Charlie Cummins has move to Exeter City from Ireland (he is a dual national)
Stevan Stanic-Floody signed in the welsh second tier for LLandudno
Finn Ballard-McBride has moved from the US to Eastbourne in the UK
Oliver Kalac (Syd Ud), Saad Moukachar (Altona), Taiga Harper (Western Sydney), and Milislav Popovic (Marconi) have returned to Australia

Dean Larson has apparently joined Preston since leaving CCM.

Heidelberg United

Mrcela has joined NK Rudes in Croatia.

Now he's at Brighton Hove Albion

From italy
From what Hellas Live has learned, the Veronese club would like to sell the Australian midfielder to Ascoli, but Ajdin Hrustić would prefer to return to the Bundesliga. The problem, however, is linked to the salary: the German clubs that are interested in Hrustic would like part of the salary to be paid by Hellas Verona, but the Verona club does not agree. A further release which will at this point be defined in the last days of the winter market.

Its becoming a concern I agree, we need asap back into the national team. 

Hamza Sakhi has also signed for the same club.

It's annoying that obvious departures like Hrustic didn't just go on Jan 1. You wonder what the hell everyone is doing.

Hate signings like this id rather him as a marquee player in the a league than another Asian league 

Blackwood has signed for Balzan in Malta

Kenny Dougall has signed for Buriram United, who are managed by Kenneth Dougall.

The weird thing about Hall is that he was playing NPL reserves while fellow Olyroo Ethan Cox was starting for the NPL first team but it was Hall who got the call up to sit in the bench for the first team in Gauci’s absence.

Just one opinion but Schwarzer was asked about 18 months ago and Hall was named as his biggest prospect. Of course that's not to discount the others coming through which will bring healthy competition for the national team. I think AMB is starting to slip away but his defence isn't helping him.

Huge wraps on this Goalkeeper.
