Definitely a move I wouldn't have bet on.

We dont know how he will go but he is competing with oniell, neiwenhof, francois, triantis, devlin, perhaps for 8 genreau, robertson, irvine, metcalfe, balard and nisbet. Surelyhje is down the pecking orde for both 6 and 8

He's behind every single one if you ask me. Every other player list has a wider set of skills or package if you will, depending on what you need. Devlin was nervous against Ecuador and simply had one chance. Baccus has had many more and has been complacent. Metcalfe has the versatility, Nisbet has better agility and smarts, Balard has the vision and distribution and Triantis has the defensive prowess when required.

If anything he should be set as an inverted right back given Arnie's system.

Good news is Baccus has sorted a move early. He'll be highly regarded at this club and that should be motivating. He'd still get plenty of game time in the Championship due to the big schedule but here he will be used immensely you'd think. League One is great. Birmingham against Mansfield or big games at Bolton or Huddersfield. Mansfield will make their home ground a fortress.

Yeah he is down my pecking order too. Mind u would have thought with 46 games a season surely a championship side could have worked out

Yeah, it's a sideways move. He hasn't really progressed since he went to the U.K.

If i were to put a positive spin on the baccus move, players are more lilely to improve quicker in league one as it is rapidly becoming more modern and less hoofball

Only 4 teams in scotland achieve more than 300 passes per game compared to 12 in league 1. In 22/23 it was 9 teams and in 19/20 it was just 5. The lower leagues in england are rapidly modernizing and no longer a bad place for our players to improve

He stagnated this year and scotland is poor compared to similar level leagues at adding value to players. So maybe its not too late for this to be a step in the right direction despite being 25

League 1 wages outside are around equal to the scottish league

Apparently Raphael (Macarthur) to Coventry City

Jacob Italiano has left Gladbach’s reserves and is now a free agent.

According to AussieScout, Jake Girdwood-Reich has signed for MLS team & will break the SFC transfer record.
Have watch JGR play this year & he's got a bit about him, very good player & good money for SFC.

Generaru is set to leave Toulouse you always forget about him 

wonder what his level is

It's good that Genreau and Italiano are finally leaving. The former had an odd time after promotion and coach changes. He needs to go to Belgium. Italiano played over 100 games for the Gladbach reserves and is finally free from the shackles of reserve football. I hope he ends up anywhere to play against men.

A stone in the water always its level finds. 

What happened to Trent Sainsbury surely clubs would be looking at him? 

Qatar and seems fairly comfortable. Wouldn't mind a Perth homecoming season.

strain leaving st mirren

Will be an interesting look at how europe rates the scotting league outside of wonderkids and the old firm. He is well and truly a standout in the spl

Think mid Championship would be fine. Millwall, Stoke or Watford. Something ike that.

Aldred has left Brisbane, wants to play in Asia.

Perth have released 11 players. 

James Overy (Formerly of Perth Glory currently with Newton Abbot Spurs) 16yo reportedly being chased by Man U, Everton and West Ham (Has Scottish Passport)

Manchester United in transfer tussle to sign James Overy

Ali Auglah has left Macarthur

rawlins seemed pretty decent
would be great if he gets more game time overseas

Between bovalina, rawlins, and simmons all born in 2004 we have to have 1 right back come decent surely?

I'm not sure why but Rawlins was frozen out of Utrecht's reserve team which is why he went back to Perth on loan. An ALM move would be good but he wouldn't be guaranteed a starting spot anywhere here either.

Josh Risdon to Perth Glory on a 2 year deal now confirmed.

Newcastle Jets have confirmed nine departures.  Lucas Mauragis, Archie Goodwin, Brandon O’Neill, Trent Buhagiar, Reno Piscopo, Jason Berthomier, Daniel Stynes, Michael Weier and Carl Jenkinson.

Mauragis - CCM as a Farrell replacement
Goodwin - Adelaide
O'Neill - Perth
Buhagiar - Brescia
Piscopo - Victory
Weier - Hume

Jenkison, Berthomier and Stynes aren't linked with any teams or clubs.

Stan Lazaridis has said that Pearman hasn’t actually been released and that an error was made in the release. He has also confirmed that Daniel Bennie has signed for QPR.

Hmm bennie needs another 2 seasons here surely? Anyway hope he proves me wrong
