Now confirmed by South.

Wellissol announced tonight.

On Friday, Perth signed 22 year old Colombian winger Christian Caicedo. He has no wiki page and from what I can find was playing in the Colombian second tier and before that, the Portuguese fourth tier.

Maybe he’s a diamond in the rough but that doesn’t strike me with a lot of confidence.

And finally, ex-ALM player Nicholas Olsen, along with Aaron Evans have signed for Maziya in the Maldives

Look him up as Cristian Caise⁹do Castillo profile (Perth Glory), it should show him

Cristian Caisedo Castillo. (I couldn't edit the previous post for one reason or another..)

Credit to the big man... He turend up at the QF and played his guts out to help get us over the line.

All the best biug Harry, Golden boot in 2022 and 2024, and NPL VIC Premier and Dockerty Cup winner.... 

Good luck in your Aleague jaunt, you will ALWAYS be welcome back...

Effective immediately. That means he could actually be named for Macarthurs lineup on Saturday.

Finally, for their careers

But hell of a place for surfing and diving 

No mate, I know the APL clubs have free reign to do whatever they want in this country but even they cant play a cup tied player.... surely?

As long as his contract date commences before Saturday, I don't think there is anything in the regulations stopping Macarthur from naming him in their squad. No different from any other new signing. Not saying they will, I reckon they probably won't, but they definitely could. That being said, it probably wouldn't be a smart move. Too soon, the bloke would be too uncomfortable and distracted to perform well, especially with it being a game at lakeside.

Wellington have signed Corban Piper from the NZ league. He’s a 22 year old midfielder who they plan on converting into a ball-playing CB.

Macarthur have signed 31 year old Belgian CB, Dino Arslanagić.

Pretty sure you can’t field cup-tied players. Craig Goodwin couldn’t play any games for us when we won it in 2014 because he played a Round of 32 game for Newcastle

I can't find the FA one, but at least the federation clubs have to adhere to this..... Wouldn't surprise me if the APL has some sort of exemption.. IF Harry plays against us and scores it will just be the absolute worst...  I mean these APL clubs show no regard to any other club, they come to our grounds 2 hours before kick off, dont come into the social club for a feed after the game - win lose or draw like every other club in Australia and generally live in their own bubble...

II) No player shall be permitted to play for more than one Club in the Australia Cup and can only represent the Clubto which he is currently registered.

Sucks that FA (and APL) don't have up to date regulations online anymore..

🆕 Nathaniel Atkinson has left Hearts to join Melbourne City.

The full-back makes the move back to the A-League side on a permanent basis.

Everyone at Hearts thanks Nathaniel for his time at the club and wishes him well for the future.

Atkinson with a bit of home sickness I reckon. Definitely could've played on continent but it's important he gets playing right away. 

EXCLUSIVE: Ben Folami has joined Adelaide United on a 3-year deal. Adelaide will only pay 25% of his wage and Victory will cover the rest as they were desperate for the departure and Adelaide were the only club interested ✍️🇦🇺

STRUICK JOINS ROAR 

Forward Rafael Struick will become just the third Indonesian ever to play in the Isuzu UTE A-League! 

At 21 years old, he already has 17 international caps to his name and boasts over 5 million followers on social media.

Welcome to the A-Leagues, Rafael! 

Full details: tinyurl.com/yc4zr7f7

Fair bit of transfer news tonight my thoughts;

Sawyer very stiff to leave south Melbourne during the Australia cup but it's football 

Brisbane signing is very astute interested how many Indonesians will follow the a league because it's a pretty high level for them.

City happy with both signings. I rate players returning to their club so fans will be happy to see Atkinson and Cohen looks good 

Folami has come out of nowhere I forgot about him. He has a chance to reinvent himself at Adelaide some players go to another level when they change clubs some don't...

Always liked Folami. A shame he never kicked on that much. Injury crisis saw him play for Australia against Japan. Good luck to him. 

Brisbane Roar singing Indonesian and u23 international Rafeal Struick might be the most interesting singing of all the signings.

Hard to gauge how he will go but he scored twice against South Korea in the u23 championships and recently he played for Indonesia last week against the Socceroos starting up front. 

Do you think if Liverpool play a cup game against a fourth division club, that they stay behind for a little social gathering after the match ?

All that happens is, is that manager will go up to the other managers office and have a whisky, beer or a glass of wine whilst the players are getting ready for the bus. We are not in the seventies anymore.

Alex Popvic was going to get a loan to Sydney fc plus one more back. No news on that. Auckland fc still had two spots to fill, don't know anything there either.

I'm sure I saw Salah & Mane in a Colchester nightclub 5-6 years ago partying with Colchester players, buying them drinks after beating them in an FA cup tie while I was visiting family in Colchester. I could've been wrong though it was very dark in the nightclub & I had a few.

Very interesting signing, really hope this works.

We are also not in the United Kingdom ... This is Australia and how things are done.... (at least for real clubs with the facilities to host rivals after the match)

Poor Colchester, Didnt they have a social club and the integrity to at least provide a meal for the visiting team before sending them out into the cold English night???

Hospitality is dirty word in Britain it seems... 

I think its worked out where he fits in the football scale of things tbh otherwise he would have been kept or another Club on the continent make an offer.
