We've seen some players come from relative obscurity in the State Leagues to star in the A-League, abroad and for the Socceroo's. In recent times we've had Ognenovski, Jedinak, Leckie and now we have Kalmar, Zahra and Rojas doing their respective State Leagues proud.

The question is who are the current players plying their trade in the State League that could make an impact in the A-League.

I'd say from the VPL Trent Rixon would be worthy of a shot, especially for a team like the Fury that need a genuine goalscorer. Matthew Theodore has had some success in the VPL since his release from Victory and at 21 could be worth another shot in the A-League.

semi sevic! also theres also caceres ! and elasi

Semi Sevic is retired. Had the world at his feet before he snapped his thighbone.

Sydney Olympic FC - Guns

Will Angel - 21 yrs winger
Nenad Vekic - 20 yrs GK
Manny Giannaros - 21 yrs RB
Phil Makrys - 24 yrs DM
Peter Triantis - 17 yrs AM

Olympic is the future baby

iain ramsay 22yo

dimi petratos 18yo

both Olympic boys just signed multi year A-League deals bright futures

Sounds like a nice shop front for a-league clubs to get nice cheap deals and then make a tidy profit.

and then you wonder why we say death to the FFA!

But OLYMPIC has linked itself up with two Asian nations more news to come, sad when you have to do things to stop ur own people from f**king you but that is what football has become in oz

u do realise alex that transfers like that happen all over the world , big club wants player from little club , littel club recieves a pittance

:-s What has you losing good young players to the A-league got to do with everything? As MvFCArsenal said, players transferring to bigger clubs happens everywhere.

what does this link involve?

Panny Nikas from Sutherland to Fury.
Iain Ramsey from Olympic to Adelaide.
Petratos from Olympic to Sydney FC.

Our guns who can cut it in the Aleague.

Angel
Triantas
And Makrys

I think Michael White and Clapham are probably the most likely out of that lot. I would like to see Krishna in the league though

roy krishna wasnt he linked to a club in the mls and the fury as well!!

ATTENTION ADELAIDE IF THE MONEY FOR IAN RAMSEY IS NOT PAID, IM READ IN A PAPER THATS ETHNIC OLYMPIC WILL TAKE ADELAIDE TO FIFA FOR THE MONEY

WHAT A JOKE OF A LEAGUE AND ADMINISTRATORS

Did you have to yell. What money are you referring to?

What a joke you try and make everything about Olympic, with no regard to anyone else. Theres likely to be many clubs out there that clubs like Olympic have taken players from and have not received what they would consider fair value. Its not all a one sided anti-Olympic conspiracy, which you seem to try and paint it as.

This is a real life situation buddy

What is a real life situation? The real life situation is that teams get screwed on all levels of the game, globally. Its not a Olympic/SMFC specific issue, which seems to be the case you try and push. Football is bigger than your own backyard, so try looking broader. If you expect HAL clubs to pay inflated prices for players, expect other clubs to ask the same of yours, which I am sure you will cry fowl about.

In the end, all that does is hinder the players' ability to get into the top tier, and developing to their full potential. What is fair is in the eye of the beholder, but greed runs deeper through the veins of many also:)

Btw, its the first time I would have heard a girl use the word 'buddy':)

This topic should develop into a posting where fans on here 'review' a player for 2-3 State League games during the year and then come on here and rate the player out of 10 for things such as skill, athletism etc etc

Do you have any idea what you are talking about? The player development fee is $3,000 and is paid by the first club to sign the player on a professional contract to their previous amateur club.

Ring up your office and they will tell you it has not been paid yet

Check the FFA regulations with regard to this development fee.

The amount is due and payable adelaide is not denying that they dont have money to pay it but thats the porblem

You don't think Adelaide could afford to pay $3,000?

Do you have any evidence to support your claims?

I thought Sydney gave him his first pro contract.

Remember that the truth will set you free.

If SFC gave him his first pro contract, which I would assume would be the Case, maybe Olympic should go after them instead. It's always better to go after the actual responsible party, not an imagined one:)

As for comments regarding AU not having money to pay, that is a very slanderous thing to say. Without any evidence, which you never have in your statements, do not even attempt to post such things.

Some of your bitterness ultraguy/girl comes through so much it distorts all reality for you it seems.

the above is not true champ. get ur facts right

Whats not true? What facts should I get right this time King/Queen Ultra?:)

Did you read the whole post? If you did you would realise that you should not comment on whats true or false, without some kind of evidence being shown. Obviously you chose to ignore that again, which was not unexpected.

Btw, you continue to shock me by using another term I have never heard a girl use, champ in this case. Its sounding more manly by the post:)
