Panos is still young hardly a has been! 
I read Garuccio has signed for city...
what other young Australians still need a club or due for a change?
We should try for Gersbach And other olyroos that need consistent football before a possible Olympics

Ansell out of quarantine and it looks like he's reunited with the fam in Melbourne going off his insta, so basically pick a day in the coming week for the signing announcement.

Its good to see us making a lot of progress with our squad for next season, but why does it seem Brebs is only looking towards England for visa players?

Could be because Brebs has contacts there, could be because it's a good time to be leaving the UK, could just be a coincidence based on what we've seen so far.

Victory sticking with the tried and tested “recycle former players model” despite last years debacle - Muscat made it work but can the new guy?

Considering we lost doncs to newy who loaned him out to India.  Its actually a decent pick up. He knows the club and should be coming cheap.  Our defence needed a senior player. Would be great if we could somehow bring back mdp but Ansell is a decent option

I think it's a sign of a strong club culture, that players want to come back.

People need to adjust their expectations as to what kind of players we can sign this season, considering the context.

We needed to sign at least two senior CBs and as long as he can stay injury-free as possible he'll be an asset. Sure he had the league's best defender ever (if not the best player full stop) to play next to in the 2014-15 season we last did the double, but only for half the season as Delpierre was injured for a good while, so Ansell deserves his dues.

He captained a team to a Bundesliga title. Players like that don't come around every day. Great player.

If we can still get Gestede and the alleged Argentine CB to complete our visa signings I'll be overjoyed. Brebs and his team have already far surpassed my expectations with the signings they've brought in so far, considering the new cap.

Yeah, considering teh current climate - they've done well.

Perhaps Australia's biggest weakness could be our strength for getting players out here - We are not near anybody else.

English Winter with lockdowns, restrictions, quarantine hubs, covid cases on the rise.
- Versus -
 Aussie summer with potentially no lockdowns, restrictions, quarantine hubs and covid cases quickly declining. Albeit with a bit of a pay cut.

That last sentence being the key one as it's caused an exodus from the A-League to India, which is hardly a paradise covid-wise either.

Watch the Aussies and the rest of the imports in India leave once they see the lockdowns in India will make Victoria's one look tame
