“Melbourne City midfielder Rostyn Griffiths has taken aim at A-League powerbrokers, declaring it’s no longer “the responsibility of players to fix the competition” amid a push to slash the value of contracts by between 30 and 50 per cent next season....

He warned that players will desert the league if there are further big dips in remuneration....”

He tried once and came back. End of the day there are only so many +1 spots in Asia. 
If players leave for money that’s only a good thing imo. We are heading back to OFC days where players had to fight for salary increases. Salary floor has pushed up wages and made life cushy. #stoprecycling.

Looks like amini to turkey is done. Can’t post the article but it’s there 

this would be awesome... a similar story is pukki who is at norwich was at Brondby for sometime.. so the level is not too big for him to adjust.

Mitch Duke to Saudi Club Al Taawoun confirmed.

Joel Chianese to Hyderabad in India

Co-incidentally Chianese is starting in the final against Wellington. Not sure why they've released that info.

Tagz rumoured to be heading to Saudi according to TWG. 

Just received a txt about ALF in advanced talks with Hyderabad. Anyone?

Old news. That broke over a month ago. Has since said he’s not going

Dan Bouman currently playing for CCM Academy in NPL2

Did he say he is staying in Sydney? I have only read he said he is focusing on winning championship right now. This was on Sunderland rumor. Didn’t read that he stated his future is with SFC

Interesting. From what I saw at Asian U23s he should never play for Australia again. Looked completely out of his depth. 

Looked like he run out of options in Holland.

What about Amini having his contract terminated a week or so after Mus had signed it. He is stuck with wife and child in Turkey jobless, homeless and currently stranded.
Popa got about six weeks afew years ago as a gaffa.
Anyone else want to ply their trade in Turkey? 

Transfermarkt suggesting Fran Karacic is being loaned back out to his previous club by Dinamo Zagreb.

Anyone heard any Leckie news?

Still nothing at all. He's training hard and getting practice minutes. Surely it's about making him boosting his price. I think he'll go on loan. 

Hmm how interesting. I wonder if he’ll end up staying at Hertha.

Would be odd though considering how public he’s been about wanting to leave.

e.g. https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/socceroos/ill-do-everything-i-can-to-leave-frozen-out-socceroo-mathew-leckie-opens-up-on-german-frustration/news-story/0478d27886c34f1fc3ff0261f05c3e58

You may be right, but salary cap cuts for next year may change alot of players minds and make them revisit previous contacts.

HOME-grown defensive utility Pat Langlois has a month to prove to Jets coach Carl Robinson that he deserves a place in the squad next season.

Paywall, anyone got access?

Kearyn Baccus is supposedly homesick and could come back home.

leckie got minutes today against ajax

played the entire second half - subbed for the #9 - but hertha scored no goals so that's not great

Daniel Bowles has retired and is now working on expanding his cafe business.

Transfermarkt going early with announcing Nick Suman to Macarthur.

excellent news for Jordan Courtney Perkins!

Anyone else hearing rumours of Popa to Greece?

George Blackwood released from AU. Sydney boy, Macarthur perhaps.

I hope he finds a new club bc I think he has talent, even if he hasn’t really fulfilled it yet.

Simce joining AU, he averages about 5 goals a season which is more than most backup strikers get, especially with Blackwood playing a lot in midfield and on the wing in the last couple of seasons.

Maybe Melbourne Victory could be his new club, given Athiu will surely be released.

Michael Jakobsen is rumoured to be leaving AU as well which is a big loss.

Antonis Popodopoulos-vic.
