We will be struggling with you, club seems to have tightened spending, we look to have a pretty good starting 11 however we will struggle big time if we get a couple of injuries and/or suspensions.

you now might want to keep your skipper!

josh da silva is back. i like the kid. jordie figon is also a good player. yeah depth could be an issue, but that applies to many teams. injuries will cruel any campaign.

a little early to be discussing how well Sutho will be going

Theres like 10 weeks til the season starts
for some teams theres like a long way to go in settling for a team

I heard both Haydar brothers are on their way out?

i heard the club is playing hard ball on $$$. now that the mariners have signed urcok, and bosnar doesnt look likely, they may change their minds.

to be honest with you, I don't know who is in or out with my club anymore.

there has been no media release, it's very piss poor, and our board need too take a fucken good hard look at themselves. ](*,)

You're right long way to go however the signs aren't promising, let's hope that changes in the coming weeks.
Any ideas on further signings for Olympic?

I think former Rockdale player Taku(?) is trailing with us also, could be a good pick up.

Sydney Olympic getting very tight, have signed plenty of young players and not any major players.
I think it is due to the PPS aswell as them trimming down their budget by ALOT.

out hooper apia
markovic marconi
go shiral back to japan
soada back to Japan

vranic duncan young boys from the 20s

tomelic cidric triantis from syd united

theres de marigny son from marconi


theres several trialist from various under 20
teams trialist

that was painful to read

Sydney Olympic still owe plenty of players money from previous seasons, would go as far as saying it is the worst run club in the NPL 1 competition.
Since Tsekenis & Papoythis walked the club has went down hill big time, very sad, was at a few of Olympics games earlier this season would be lucky to have 100 people there, passionate ? yes however sustainable don't think so.

Talking to a parent of a junior player, saying the club is more focusing on producing juniors so they can down the track get large lump sums, like Blacktown City did with Maty Ryan, i think in his contract the Demons get a small percentage or so.

Let's see if we can decipher it...

Out:
Hooper, Markovic, Shirai, Soeda, Danaskos, H Gaitatzis, Hatzimouratis, Ozbey

In:
Tomelic, Cindric, Triantis

Possible Squad 2016:
Henderson, Egger, Tsattalios, Sorge, Madonis, Fondyke, Sorge, Keir, Angel, Tomelic, Cindric, Triantis - That's 12 players. and the rest are kids from the 20s.

Seems like an "OK" starting 11, will need a lot of luck to get out of the bottom half of the ladder, and a few decent signings in the off season...

H Gaitatzis still possible in staying not at Apia yet asking for an upgraded contract still undersided small chance he will stay
M Gaitatzis has also signed
Spyrakis not sure yet playing for Sydney fc youth could also be out as his there captain


Guthier who was a Olympic player 2 years looks like he will also be back

There a few overseas players trying out

A couple of signings and we will be okay for mid table finish

Olympic fans feeling anxious as there not much news coming out
of the Olympic facebook account and greek newspapers or media

Spartans are playing a trial game again Olympic Dec6
Olympic also playing Sth Melbourne in a trial Feb 7

Olympic have started training for the last month
Every Wednesday Thur sdays

That Triantis - Peter or Chris?

Chris signed for Olympic.

I think peter is still with us.

Phil Makrys to Marconi?

The happy couple reunited to suck on another juicy mango :roll:

Looks like a decent pre-season schedule. How are they getting Guangzhou Evergrande out? They've just won the Champions League. I suppose it's entirely possible they may draw an Australian club in the Champions League, but isn't it a bit presumptuous to assume they'll be in-country for that in February? The first matchday of the group stage isn't until the 23rd IIRC. Will definitely get along to see that regardless.

fantastic to see then get Guangzhou out here. I'm sure they will be doing a tour and will face other clubs?

They are versing Sydney United, Bonnyrigg & Sydney Olympic

Piksi Stojkovic the head-coach \:d/

Got told they wont be versing any A-League opposition, a-league sides didnt want them

Piksi is the coach of Guangzhou R&F not Evergrande.

I think APIA has the wrong info....

I know for a fact that Piksi & his assistant Zarko Durovic contacted BWE for a friendly February 19th and will be playing 3 other teams, all non A-League.

Wont be playing on Synthetic so they will be playing at FNSW barring BWE who has natural grass \:d/

One would hope the grass has been regrown in time, otherwise it'll be a natural dust bowl. :lol:

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the wrong info. Guangzhou R&F makes a lot more sense than Evergrande.

I don't think it'd be so much as A-League opposition not wanting them, so much as not really having the time/resources to host a friendly smack bang at the point end of the A-League season.

Would be good preperation for the likes of Victory, Adelaide and ourselves, but once again, just don't have the time for it. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if Sydney hosted a behind-closed-doors friendly with a whole bunch of our youth/reserves. We've done it before.

Will be a very strong challenge for our boys, also massive due to the head-coach, one of the most popular players in Serbia

It'll be a very strong challenge to all the NPL clubs. I'll try and get out to at least 1-2 of them.
