48% of AC Milan is now (sort of) Australian owned:

He says he could of bought 3 Premier League clubs. He could also fully fund the A-League and a second division then? :D

Questionable choices in club and haircuts. What an abomination.

"For Matt Ryan is now difficult to leave Club '
Today to 3h00 By Koen Van Uytvange

"I was impressed with Sydney FC, especially Bernie Ibini 'Sensation Tottenham Harry Kane spoke a week ago after an exhibition game in Australia. Today that same Bernie Ibini is a player of Club Brugge, which bought him for a bargain Shanghai United, his mother club. Your newspaper spoke with the recent acquisition of blue-black. "Mathew Ryan could not believe that we're teammates again."

Bernie Ibini-Isei logs on June 24 already at the first practice of Club Brugge. Meanwhile, the winger is back on the other side of the planet, but before he hopped on the plane, we were able to tie the Australian international still here. " I am really excited about this transfer, "says Ibini with heavy bass voice. "I'm really looking forward to the first training session. Now I want to make the most of my holidays in Australia because I had a long season. Only last week it ended. "

Apparently there was also interest from the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany.

"I had two concrete offers. But once I knew that Club Brugge wanted me, my choice was made. This I simply could not refuse. I have someone at Club which I thoroughly know can help me enormously. "

How did Mathew Ryan?

"He is incredibly lucky for me. We have in our time at Central Coast Mariners half years lived together. We're like brothers. Since he is playing at Club, we are constantly in touch. Maty could not believe that we're teammates again. "

Do not you think he will get harder now have the heart to leave Club?

"I think it is now more difficult choice. (laughs) On the other hand, he must and will do what is best for his career. If he stays, I would love that. Is he right, then I will be as happy for him. He decides his own future. "

Club Brugge is not new to you, and not only by the presence of Ryan.

" Exactly . Two and a half years ago I was on trial. The contrast-Friday could not be greater. Now a beautiful warm day I signed for Club. When bar freezing weather. I saw for the first time in my life snow. In that week I was there, I came just to train. "

He really is too old for such petty fads.

What does that mean?! Most people with a cut like that over the past 2 and aha,f years have been his age :lol:

Petty fads? These young kidss with their petttttyyyyyyy faddsss. When will they learn??

He needs a haircut in which you can set your watch to.


Also he has Japanese heritage so I don't see any problem with it. It's strange how people have subscribed this haircut to 'hipster culture' but there is now massive backlash only because it has now become popular and mainstream.

Well... Sadly, that cut got taken over by the dick heads of Sydney's South west... And so it kinda has been turned into a dousch cut.
I won't bring ethnicity into it (I kinda will), but I'll just say that there are plenty of those cuts at Sydney's 'Ivy' :lol:
This cut is certainly not 'hipster' anymore.

Call a spade a spade, it's awful. Based on davidsons questionable choices of late its no surprise he's sporting the 'I fuck my siblings' look.

Schwarzer still contracted :shock:

Premier League, Bundesliga & Serie A clubs showing interest in Tommy Oar
PETER MCVITIE   on 11 June, 2015 at 14:12
FC Utrecht and Australia winger Tommy Oar has opened talks with several English clubs, while teams in Spain, Germany and Italy are also showing an interest.

The 23-year-old, who is a free agent once his contract with Utrecht expires on June 30, has already rejected “more than 10 clubs”, with “silly money” being offered from various sides around Qatar, Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as well as several MLS teams.

Oar, who featured at the World Cup with the Socceroos in 2014 was a member of the side that won the Asian Cup earlier this year, has spoken openly about his desire to play in the Premier League and it is a move he could make this summer.

“We are specifically looking at a couple of options which we are talking with right now,” his agent, Michael Jansen, told BeNeFoot.

“A lot of focus is on England at the moment, but also other countries like Germany, Italy and Spain are still open.

“There is interest from the Premier League and the Championship. There have been some clubs from the Championship that we have rejected. In the Premier League, we are a bit doubtful that he will play enough for some teams.

“At one point, he wants to play in the Premier League. That is the aim. Sooner or later it will happen, I’m confident about that. But it is the biggest league in the world, so the clubs over there can sign any player they want.

“So between these options, he is thinking ‘maybe it’s better to go to a club that I know I will play in more, otherwise after six months I may have to go on loan again’.

“He is an intelligent boy and he won’t make his decision so easily.

“The Championship is not a step backwards from the Dutch league at the moment and the level of clubs interested in him are from the top of the league.

“Besides English teams, we’re still talking with Bundesliga and Serie A teams. “

Jansen says Oar has turned down clubs from the Middle East who offered “money he could probably not earn in the Premier League”, insisting that “it’s not about the money, it’s about the development of his career”.

He also suggests the attacker will require assurances over playing time before he will agree to join any potential suitors to ensure he develops in the right way.

“What can also make the decision easier for Tommy is the coach,” he added. “That is very important for him.

“If he wanted, he already could have signed for more than 10 clubs.

“There have been talks with clubs already. But the coming weeks will show what will happen.”

Oar joined Utrecht from Brisbane Roar in 2010 and has been a key part of the team since. However, in his final season, one which saw a sizeable shift in his style as he adapted to become more of a creator than a direct threat, did not end well. Having told Utrecht of his desire to leave for free at the end of his contract, he was subsequently dropped from the team, despite being one of the league’s most consistent chance creators.

“Utrecht was upset that he didn’t renew his contract with them, so they put a lot of pressure on the whole staff to not play him anymore,” Jansen explains.

“On one side you can understand it, that Utrecht was upset because it’s true that the owner spent money to get him over and he did everything he could to make the boys feel comfortable in Holland.

“But we never said that we are really going to extend his contract. We said we were thinking about it and if there will be a possibility that Utrecht could sell him then we would work on it so that it will benefit both parties.

“At one point though, the boy needs to make the right decision in his career.”
