FFA block Goran Pandev to Western Sydney Wanderers deal: report


The FFA have reportedly blocked the move of Genoa attacker Goran Pandev to Western Sydney Wanderers.

According to Italian news outlet TUTTOmercato, the Wanderers tabled a two-year deal to the Macedonian, only for the FFA to block any deal due to reported salary cap issues.

The Wanderers this week confirmed the signing of Ryan Griffiths to bolster the club’s attacking stocks, following rumoured interest in Robbie Keane, Dimitar Berbatov and Eduardo among others.



Pandev is currently plying his trade with Genoa in the Serie A, having featured 12 times in the league this season.

The 33-year-old has spent the majority of his time in Italy with spells with the likes of Inter Milan, Lazio and Napoli.

He is the captain of the Macedonian national team, and is the country’s all-time top scorer with 27 goals.

The report does not suggest this move was blocked in regards to the guest marquee rule, but due to salary cap reasons.

Outside90 has sought comment from the FFA regarding this report.

Lol at WSW fans being butthurt again. 

There's no way on earth that Pandev would ever qualify as a Guest marquee. No one knows him other than Serie A followers. That's his chance ended right there. He IS however an excellent candidate to be a marquee. You want Pandev, release Jumpei - who's pretty useless. That assuming Jumpei is their second marquee after Nico, or is it Nichols??? 

Don't complain to anyone else if your club just hasn't managed the cap well enough. You could release Borda to free up a foreign spot, but his wages/payout would still count to the cap. Releasing a marquee is your only option for this season

Both Adelaide and the WSW have both stuffed up their recruitment horrendously this season.

The FFA haven't screwed WSW over, they just applied the rules. No more bailouts with bonus foreign spots anymore.

I am complaining about the Guest rule in general. It needs to go, so does the Salary cap.
