They want clean air from the World Cup?

They should be placing the A-League as much inside the World Cup's halo as they can

It all looks like Leroy has chosen not to re-sign.

Have you heard something? Or just based on not hearing anything? Doesn't seem likely at this point though

Ex-Victory player Pierce Waring is off to the J-League too.

Vuck are allegedly chasing Jamie Maclaren to replace Berisha and are willing to offer him a marquee contract to do so.

Like anything, take it with a grain of salt, but it is gaining a bit of traction on Twitter.

Article online also saying the same about SFC. 

With the extremely limited number of quality available Australian strikers, HAL clubs would be crazy not to at the very least be in communication with him. I reckon the HAL would be fairly low on his preference list though. He will be trying hard to remain in Europe/UK with the Asian Cup just around the corner.

Dan Holla... what do we know about him. Coming from Holland. 

World game reporting Rhys Williams is off to Saudi Arabia. 

FFS. That's the last we'll see of him in a Socceroos shirt, then.

Ugh 

Checking out of the Hotel, back in 6 months.

With Williams gone this will be the biggest test of Musky's career thus far when it comes to recruitment.

Ansell reportedly on his way back. 

Backline of Roux-Deng-Ansell-Brown is pretty decent if unspectacular.

Some Dutch tweets suggesting we've signed Danny Holla from Twente,

Also Willimas buyout clause met according to TWG.

Oztransfer market suggesting Torres is linked with us and Sydney.

Would make sense considering Sydney just cashed in on $2m transfer fees

Even more for us with Milligan, Besart and William's fees, I would guess, and we both need a striker now.

Question is would Torres be the best choice of investment with that windfall?

Why  would  muscy  replace  bes who is 32 for torres who is 34? I can see muscy try for McLaren  

I'm not normally one to be keen on big names at Victory we seem to do better without them... But I think Torres would be fantastic.

Name is far less important to me as a Victory fan than what he can do and whether that suits our needs, and we definitely need a goalscoring number 9 now, so if we can afford him and he comes with the right attitude then go for it.

I would perhaps rather bring back Maclaren, he grew up supporting Victory, but he'll surely want to continue trying his hand in Europe.

No way is Maclaren coming back to the A-league. But Torres would be fantastic.

What's the go with Danny Holla? There's some dutch articles online that appear to suggest he's signed. 

He's in the squad on the MV wiki. So I guess he's signed.

Also, is there anybody on here who has ties to MV's football department? My friend's brother is a CB playing regularly in the Turkish second div. Chatting to his sister I know he's unhappy with the way he's being treated over there and is probably open to a move abroad, and he fits the profile (mid 20s, good youth career, plenty of game-time in decent leagues). I don't want to put his name in public though.

we've had an update when the 2018/19 Hyundai A League draw will happen from the Sydney FC CEO Danny Townsend has confirmed when the six matches at the SCG will take place via this tweet.

He tweeted back to say that the 2018/19 Hyundai A-League draw should be released later this week in reply to my earlier tweet.

Fixtures are out on Thursday Morning time TBA by Football Federation Australia.

'The club wanted to extend for the same amount, after all I've achieved'
Wednesday, July 11, 2018 at 4:14 PM

After an impressive season in Australia at Melbourne Victory, Leroy George decided to leave the club. The former striker of, among others, FC Utrecht and NEC is now negotiating with various clubs from Australia.George (31) tells that in a big interview with VICE Sports . The attacker states that there are 'certain people' who have not fulfilled their agreements with his agent. "We agreed that if I would perform well that would also be seen in the next contract," says George. "The club also wanted to extend, but then just for the same amount."The winger did not feel like that. "And that after all I've done there last year, with all due respect, but it did not turn out to be me, I'm old and wise enough now that I know this is part of football, it's still business."He says that he is negotiating with three Australian clubs. He can also go to other countries. "I've been pretty much in the spotlight, not just in Australia, but also in Asia and the Middle East, I've seen different countries in Asia, China is not really a country I want to play, I thought it was a filthy mess. in Korea, I do not see Korea either, Japan seems really nice to me, and from Turkey they start calling again. "George is known in the Netherlands for his periods at Utrecht and NEC. He played four years for the club from the Domstad. For the Nijmegen people three years. Then he transferred to Qarabag from Azerbaijan. He also played for the Turkish clubs Göztepe and Adana Demirspor and recently at Melbourne Victory. George played 29 games for the Australian club, in which he made nine goals. He also delivered various assists.
