Yo, just ordering my Shirt with Da Silva on the back, what number is he wearing this season?
He wore 28 last year, but the PG website has him as 20 this season, however I can't find any photos of him in 20...

Anyone able to clarify?

pretty sure he is in 18 and Duncan is 20

Website has it the opposite way around. I've just tweeted them to ask, but even then I won't trust their answer until I see him walk onto the pitch in a jersey this weekend :lol:
The website always has incorrect data in the players section.

He is # 20. Look at Perth Glory Twitter on the day of the Adelaide game. They posted a photo of the official team sheets handed to the officials. He is listed as # 20. It's also the same # he's been wearing when playing for Australia

Looks fine except I think Harold would be RW. That's where he's been played all pre-season. I would assume they switch a lot so point is probably moot anyway. I'd like him to get a start over Zahra. Problem with Harold at Glory is that he's rarely been played as a striker, whereas at GCU he was the focal point of their attacks.

$1m De Silva bid rejected

Perth Glory coach Alistair Edwards is adamant gifted teenager Daniel De Silva isn't going anywhere despite mounting interest from top overseas clubs.

FIFA regulations prevent De Silva from transferring overseas until he turns 18, in March 2015, unless his family relocates with him.

De Silva's family reportedly knocked back an approach from Italian Serie A side Catania last week following rave reviews of the attacking midfielder's progress with Glory and Australian underage teams.

Glory owner Tony Sage was apparently keen to accept the $1 million offer, but De Silva's father would prefer his 16-year-old son to end up in Spain.

De Silva trained with Everton last year and caught the eye of scouts from Inter Milan and Manchester United at a Nike All-Asia Football Camp.

He made international headlines at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in June, becoming Australia's youngest goal scorer.

But Edwards yesterday shut down talk of an overseas move before De Silva's Glory contract is up in 2015.

"In the A-League there are a lot of great young players and they're always going to be attracting interest from top overseas clubs," Edwards said.

"But the fact is with Danny, he's 16 years old and he can't go overseas until he's 18 anyway. He's not going anywhere until he's 18.

"The family are very, very happy in Perth and there's a lot that goes into going overseas. It's got to be the right move. They've got a pretty good environment (here).

"They're trusting of what's happening at the club and with FIFA regulations he won't be able to travel anyway."

De Silva is likely to make his sixth Glory appearance from the bench against Newcastle Jets at Hunter Stadium tomorrow.

He is yet to make his starting debut and has plenty of work to do before breaking into Edwards' first-choice line-up.

"He's got a lot to do in terms of starting in the A-League and performing regularly, and he knows that," Edwards said.

"I have no doubt there will be more and more offers coming in for the likes of Danny and a lot of younger players in the competition and I think that's a great sign."

Already missing best-XI players Shane Smeltz (hip), Michael Thwaite (hamstring) and Travis Dodd (knee), Glory were dealt a further blow yesterday when winger Ryo Nagai was ruled out of the Newcastle clash with an adductor strain.

Thwaite and Nagai are expected to be available next week, while Smeltz is targeting a return in round four. Edwards has several options to replace Nagai on the flank, with Adrian Zahra and Chris Harold leading the charge.

Both sides are out to make amends after defeats in last weekend's opening round.

I thought all this De Silva stuff was finished 6 months ago, and he was going nowhere for 2 years. Why is it all getting dragged up again?
But a big worry that it says the owner is keen to accept the offer.

It's Sage, 'nuff said.

PS, in answer to inevitable "De Silva wasn't played WTF" we'd already brought Clisby on and had 2 subs left. We desperately needed Zahra off for Harold, so that's one. C.Edwards on for McGarry was brave Dad-wise, but we needed more mobility in the middle without making ourselves inept in the tackling dept. DDS isn't a great tackler, neither is Ryan Edwards from what I've seen. So we either needed O'Neill there or the more defensively-minded of the Edwards bros. So in that respect I understand Danny being left on the bench...

FFS. Every f***ing season....

Atleast there was the communication now, finally, and also, given what they've said, now that the stadium is largely sorted/renovations finished, they will 'no longer have that excuse' next season?

IF they have any more screw ups, delays etc next season, then they can expect some unhappy e-mails, including atleast one reminding them of the above e-mail that was received last season! ](*,) ;)
