Apparently it was in the works before the Olympics too. It probably explains why they went so hard for Mutch.

Jamie Young has officially left Brisbane and is expected to join Western United.

Big blow for Brisbane while a great pickup for WU.

Blackwood to Adelaide officially confirmed.

Pierce Waring has moved to SC Jiuniu in China's 2nd division

That’s even more random than Brandon Wilson’s move!

Botic to WU confirmed.

Interesting. Will he be a taggart or a pasquali? 

AP has apparently signed for Greek second tier side Rodos.

Source: Val

Edit: Has been confirmed by club.

Yeah read that. Here's hoping he gets game time 

Michael Marrone has left AU 😢

And has signed for Sturt Lions

Arzani is off to Belgian second tier side Lommel SK.

Not a great move since there are only 8 teams and 28 games per season

What a random move. 

Arzani  t o  go lommel  sk. In  the  2nd division in Belgium.  Either on loan or transfer

Michael marrone signs for Sturt lions

Unsurprisingly that Belgian team Arzani is off to is also owned by CFG.

So is the club Waring has signed for.

How is this better than the A League ?

Crushingly disappointing for him. He just keeps falling down the ladder. 

A satellite cfg club. Its a make or break for him. Another player who listened to his agent and believed the bright lights spiel. 

Genreau's transfer to Toulouse was apparently according to Transfermarkt, 500k Euros. Which is his market value on that site. So not sure how accurate that is. 

But that roughly translates to 804k AUD which Macarthur receives. Good investment by Macarthur, which they hopefully use to pour some resources into facilities and/or the next 'Genreau.' 

Hopefully we start seeing more of this.

Agreed. $840k for an aleague club is great. Do one or two of them a year and it’s great. 

Play a promising Australian player, develop them further by giving them a 26 or 32 round season length, develop them even further with international exposure to get in the eyes of scouts and get the benefit from a transfer which makes the club money which they can redirect their efforts in finding their gem and ultimately all of this helps the national team! 

If only this was the motto for every aleague club instead relying only on TV money to make their money, there is a billion industry sitting in front of us but are the clubs aware of this? Or is Australian football still following the australian sporting landscape which has little relevance to overseas markets?

Canada, Iraq and Thailand all made more income in the transfer market than Australia when I last checked.

Jets have signed two unnamed visa players while PNG international Tommy Semmy is also training with them.

There you go! 

Duke to j league 2

After watching him during the Olympics, it’s just bizarre the level he’s dropping down to just to get a game. He wouldn’t of looked out of place in the Spanish team and they’re all LaLiga regulars.

Macarthur have extended Antonis Martis’ loan for another year 

Yeah true. But if he does consistently well at Euro club (for a change!) he can gradually climb up to higher leagues/clubs 🤞
