Salary cap. Sydney can’t fit him in, however with Oniell moving on, that might throw a spanner in the works.

I don’t think Brattan will join but apparently the motivator is Personal (cancer in the family?) and wanting to be close.

Simple maths, we have won more trophies, also imagine using a stat like making the finals as some sort of success :laugh:

Why is it down form 5 years ago? Because the team ain’t winning. It would be jumping ship because there leaving due to the club being crap on the field, which is probably due to the club being run poorly. Watch all the “fans” come back when Brisbane start winning in a few years time. Glory literally had 9 years of dog shit on the field and you guys are complaining about 3 years of mediocrity....

If there was an owner who cared or at least understood Australian football it would make a difference.

Club management have to lift their game considerably although they are most likely following owner's directions. But that can't be all true either.

It's amateur stuff all the way by the club.

In a resort somewhere

My understanding is nothing is a done deal yet and there’s lots of activity, more than we know,  but what is in the media is largely correct:

Brown as an injury replacement for Courtney-Perkins is just waiting on contracts 

McDonald is seen as a “holding 9” and replacement for ROD in the starting line up. 

Troisi is on but likely a question of Troisi or Brattan, not both. 

Inman and “the offer from another A-League club” is false, he’s on a 2 year contract and not leaving without a significant fee. 

They are looking at an (unnamed) overseas striker as well, probably for the winter though. The above deals they’re trying to get done now 


Cheers, hopefully you guys strengthen. This season is a fucking snooze fest in general. Need teams to strengthen and make the competition a bit more exciting.

There’s no way Troisi will go to another HAL club. He like Inman is on a two year deal and AUFC would surely demand a decent fee for his services.

The players are supposedly unhappy because the kit man got sacked for seemingly no reason but I’m not sure if Troisi wants to leave because of that.

Edit: Supposed to say are not aren’t.

Where ever he goes he’ll want to leave before too long. That’s his problem - he and McGree have formed a great partnership, why wouldn’t he stay and develop that??

At a guess, it's because McGree is being played in Troisi's preferred position, and we have all seen how healthy (or unhealthy, depending on your perspective) James' ego is.

Would definitely agree with that. Could definitely see Troisi going for one final payday in Asia, but he definitely won't be moving HAL clubs (no Australian club is going to throw big money at him) as he's too settled in Adelaide with a young family and all of his extended family here.

I think that the days when an Asian club would throw money at Troisi are gone by at least 2 years.  He's 31 and his form has been marginal for several seasons now.

He's reached that inevitable point of diminishing career returns.

Models and athletes have such brief careers.

Coming home to play sounds great but for someone with ego who has lived around the world and not been home for 12 years, coming home and seeing the same old streets/people again while training in Elizabeth, it may well have hit him that he should try one last "adventure" and thus ends my horribly long sentence.

He'd be a decent signing, but my reservations about his personality remain. 

He also hasn't scored nearly enough goals for a 10 over his career.

In general, I can't escape the feeling that James T has never been as good as he so conspicuously feels himself to be.

Agree with all that. 

And agree with others that his most likely destination is overseas, if he leaves. 

I don’t know why he’d want to leave Adelaide either but yeah, he’s not as good as he thinks he is but he done his finds new gigs. He’s like a better version of Holloway lol

And if he did sign for Roar he’s unlikely to budge Inman

Troisi was great for a month but has been poor since. I’d be happy to see him gone but only if we get an adequate replacement and I don’t think Roar can give us a half decent defensive midfielder in return. I would be open to swapping him for O’Neill but Roar don’t own him.

Troisi is another Aussie enigma.
On his best day he can be great.But they are few and far between,That also reflects on how the team performs.I suspect motivation is his biggest problem.A good coach or the right environment might get more out of him.But just who or what that would be ,I dont know.
I suspect playing in a lower to midtable team will not get him motivated.
In some respects his issues remind me of Craig Goodwin.

He drifts in and out of games quite a bit, much like McGree. I think he's been pretty inconsistent at AU because he needs high quality players around him (MV's midfield last season was ridiculous) and struggles when he has to be the primary creative outlet.

At least it is only until the end of the season. Hopefully if he doesn't perform, they've got the guts to let him leave/head to NPL.
