Well blow me down, I submitted a rumour that was reported on GC News(I won't say who it was about, there must be a reason they over looked it) as a done deal and this one thats even older and already reported on most sites get published. geesh


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Culina the Marquee [RUMOUR]?

Have your say.

haha whoever submitted this obviously didnt read the article from a few days ago where jason himself said it was all just gossip

Who wrote this rumour?

There was an article about a month a go about how Branko Culina told Jason that if you are coming back to Australia make sure you are coming back young so you can show the Australian public how good you are instead of coming back past your peak.

He may not come back next year but don't be surprise if he doesn't come back soon.

he is too young to comeback now. i think the marquee player could be from china because of palmers chinese business dealings.

IMO it would show a real lack of ambition if he came back at this stage in his career.

I think maybe after 2009/2010, at the earliest. As he'd be 30 and too old for the next one (not old for a dm, but retired internationally).

You reckon Culina will be out of the roos after the WC?

i'd laugh if the marquee was from china. I cant think of a single chinese who would have the toughness for the a-league (or thug league as junhino put it). Im thinking we wont see any regular socceroos return here until after WC'10.

"It's only a little bit of gossip," he said with a laugh this week. "I wouldn't look too much into it at the moment".

ok, why would he come out at such an early stage of the Dutch season and declare that he's going to another club? If he did admit that he had signed, he'd possibly spend the rest of the season getting splinters in his asse! I know he's signed...Great signing Miron.

mate i think you actually need to read the articles before submitting stupid comments. in a 442 article culina said peronally it was all gossip and australia wasnt even an option, y leave PSV wen hes getting game time, from PSV to Gold Coast? i think not especially at his age

No chance

Attention all you doubters, When it's announced, I want all you doubters to re visit this rumour and admit that you got it wrong...I know for a fact that he is the marquee!

Dong lol. Culina is too good for the league at the moment I think though that Sterjovski would make a great marquee

how do you know:-k

inside information???

I highly doubt he'd come back this early

Pretty sure it's almost signed sealed and delivered. They must have been throwing money at him.

If Aloisi is on a mil then Cullina is worth $2 Mil.

if he is coming back, then its a major coup, but he is too young to be coming back to aus now. hes surely got a couple of years left in europe.

If you base peoples salaries on what Aloisi is earning that stae league players should be getting 2 mil!!!!!!!!!

In response to Fredsta i totally agree. Psv eindhoven is a world class club and Culina has the ability to earn himself a place in the starting line-up. Sterjovski cant even get onto the bench for derby county. He is like perfect marquee, him or Danny invinsible. Culina shouldnt come to the A-league until after the next Asian cup

Nailed it Fredsta,we should nab Sterj..

Submit your rumour through the proper channel. - martyB

He defo w2on't be coming back, he is in the prime of his career

He is in the prime of his career, yet he can't even get a game for strugling PSV. Jason is better then PSV and he should move IMO he is also too good for the a-league however i would love to have him back. Sterjovski or Chipperfield are more likely too come back not Jason he is way too good.

At this stage, as I understand it, it's not so much about where Culina is with his career as where he would rather be living.

PSV is a great club, but Holland can be a wet, dull place. Culina's already spending heaps of time on the bench, what's next year going to bring? Permanent bench status or worse? PSV are not a club that fails to renew talent year by year.

He might go another year. He might not. We'll all just have to wait and see.

or Asia

no way, if he was too go back to asia, he'd come back to Australia

Why would a great player want to go the A-League when he is coming to the peak of the career. All players dream of playig regular football in the top leagues in Europe and he would have no wishes to come back into the A-League in the near future.

Read GazGoldCoasts post a few posts up, it might explain it for you :roll:

Here's a bit more fuel for the pre-Christmas fire...

A lengthy review of PSV's season at goal.com talks about who they should keep and who they should buy. It describes Jason Culina as a "fringe player" who is "able to provide good cover in case of any injury trouble". In the comments, at least one fan calls for Culina to be sold.

Sure, it's not from the PSV club, but it is pretty informed analysis.
