Interesting trying to read the Soccerway site - whether that's reliable or not - Malaysia has a Super League level which sits above the Premier League level.
Chianese is playing for Sabah who started the season ok, but now sit 7th of 12 teams.
There last 9 matches read: 1 draw, 8 losses, goals for - 9, goals against - 25.
Yikes, why would you leave that?

Is it concerning that we've had a lack of pre-season games?
We've had no where near the amount of games we played last year in pre season and it seems as though all other clubs are playing way more pre-season games than us

Tend to agree.

No SAf tour either.

On the up side they do have competitive FFA Cup games, not kick and giggles.

Glory linked with UK-based Aussie duo

Perth Glory have been linked with a move to bring England-based young Aussie duo James Demetriou and Giancarlo Gallifuoco to the A-League.

Striker Demetriou is on the books with Swansea City while centre back and midfielder Gallufiuoco is currently a free agent.

Gallifuoco, who was in Tottenham’s youth team with Massimo Luongo, was released by Swansea at the end of last season.

FourFourTwo understands the Glory have made enquiries about the pair joining them for the 2015/2016 season.

Gallifuoco is a 21-year-old Olyroo from Sydney who has also played for Australia at Under-17 and Under-20 level. The versatile player has trialled with Bradford City and Millwall in recent weeks.

Demetriou is a Sydney Olympic junior who first moved to the UK with Nottingham Forest.

The 20-year-old has played for Swansea’s Under-21s, representing Cyprus at youth international level, and recently attracted interest from Sydney FC and Adelaide United.

Perth has only 19 players on their books for the upcoming campaign, according to its website, after several departures following their salary cap breach. The Glory has so far brought in nine new players with 10 exiting from the 2014/2015 squad.

Not a bad thing, two potential Jamie McLaren-level talents? :-k

Dino Djulbic announced MGP for prior season at today's season launch.

Pretty sure nick epifano has been trialling this week with glory

Garcia is captain.

New home lot ditches the two tone look, flat purple, crazy collar.

Garcia is captain.

I don't understand how Garcia can even get a start if our starting 11 are fit. Surely Fernandez, Castro and Harold should all be infront of him. Don't want captain slow in our already slow midfield either. Don't understand this move.

He's the only option. What others are there?

Thwaite kicked up a shit last year so had the armband taken off him
Dino is a bit of a hot head/maybe doesn't want it.
Risdon is probably too young to gain the respect of other players.

Other outsiders would be:

Zadkovich, currently battling injury/not see to much game time?
Marinkovich, could have been a choice.

So slim pickings.

So who's the vice captain? If the starting 11 is fit surely the vice captain will be the acting captain most of the time.

Won't be surprised if Thwaite gets vice.

I'd really like Dino to get the job.

Had a quick look at the stats for last season, which I'm reading as saying Garcia was subbed off 11 times (!) during the season, plus subbed on a further 5 times. And I think an unused sub another time or two.
That is not the type of player that could possibly be selected to provide leadership as a Captain.
But another year on, may be he's got better and picked up the pace.

Repeating myself, but if last season any indication, a completely illogical and wasted choice that makes no sense at all.

Still no word on who vice is?

Should be Dino.

At the game on Tuesday, it was close enough (and quiet enough!) to hear pretty much everything going on on the pitch. Dino is definitely the on field leader.

Except he does get the attack of the red mist every now and then.

Shouldn't necessarily count against him. Didn't stop Muscat being considered a good captain at Victory

Dino is not Muscat no comparison at all

Yep - you don't pick up the pace at the age of 34.

Hopefully, just figurehead only and won't change his role in team which should be sub/squad if starting XI are all available.
