So if rhe players hated poppa so much.  Why did Jason Davidson sign with mv??

That's Sage's take (if it's even real) who knows what the truth is.

It would be pretty normal to have players he doesn't click with and ones that do.

CCM apparently close to signing a former German international.

I bet it’s Nicolai Muller

No nepotism this time.

Ray Gatt:

The mail is Chris Ikonomidis will sign with Victory.

Just nervous were giving a 1.2 year deal to a guy who has injury issuesa

Classic Vuck. He can join Rojas and Kruse on the sidelines.

Luke Ivanovic has managed an early release from Sydney FC to try and get regular first team football. 47 appearances and 2 goals.

Off to Perth is being speculated on a Perth fans FB page.

Looks like ivanovic is off to Brisbane if you believe the chat off Twitter 

Hopefully he gets a better chance at his next club, always hard for him to get a real chance off limited appearances mainly off the bench.

He might also suit Brisbane's style more too so will see if that eventuates. 

Happy if this is a sign Champness is staying at Jets. Think Ivanovic could do well with a solid run. 

The FVS podcast guys have mail on Ikon as well apparently:

As per reports floating around on Twitter yesterday, we’re also hearing that Ikonomidis has signed with The Vuck.

3 year deal.

$1.2m over 3 years would be an absolute steal.

I remember one game he played against Brisbane.Years ago.He was very good that day.Seems to be injured a lot .So limited game time.

I really doubt he's on $1.2m over 3 years. Victory offered an extra $200k on top of what Perth offered, not sure on what the WSW offer was. He'll be on a good wedge at MV, but really: he should be back in Europe imo. Wasted career.

Agree Ikon should be trying he's luck in Europe again unless if he doesn't have ambition to go back of course, at the moment the options nothing stands out for the Socceroos so there little competition in Europe so options remain open for players like Ikon to take.

He has got a model missus who is signed up to an agency here i believe, and he is getting marquee wages, why the rush for him to abroad? especially the way things are globally

100%

JCP has officially signed for that impossible to spell Polish club for 2 years while Adrian Luna is off to Kerala Blasters.

 Man what a step down by Luna. I can see him back in the hal soon.  

I thought he was going back home to his family?! Perhaps one last pay day before settling down

Fair point.

Iker Guarrotxena has signed for Logrones who were relegated from the Segunda Division last season.

Adelaide are in talks with three players with Isaias being one of those.

Juan Lescano has arrived in the country and is currently in quarantine.

Read in the Newcastle Herald that Papas hopes to sign three foreigners during the week. Interestingly, Stamatelopolous is supposedly 'trialling' for a place. Thought he had done enough, but understandable with a new manager. 

Would love to see Isaias back, but what would that mean for Juande? 

I’m not sure and going by what Carl said yesterday he’s not sure either.

He did say that Juande can play in defence though.

Juande in defence is horrible tbh, although I think in a back-3 he'd be much more functional.
