yeah same, but at O-LYM-PIC he will be at a club with a good coach and a good roster of players and a club SEEN to be on it's game

Probably wouldn't be the worse thing he could do. I would have thought he'd have gone back to Manly tbh.

is that a good thing??

Another one for the rumour file

After having his contract terminated by Newcastle Jets, Chris Payne is in talks with Sydney Olympic for the 2012 NSWPL season

someone was saying all the youth teams will play the NSWPL games mid week as well

Tiger Cup is all mid-week. U20 teams will play with only two days break if required

why? what's yout take on him?.....

i see you guy's picked up two ex-parra players in costa the goalkeeper & kutiaba elrich....

funny how last year everyone bagged parramatta but they have tried to rob 75% of their players....lol

Nick Rizzo? :lol: Don't get me started on him. :lol:

no franko parisi..... but then again perhaps i'm getting him confused with nick risso????

Who? Makela?

he looked dis interested last season

parisi on his day is still a vey good player. would be a great pick up although didnt see too much of him for apia. i think he'll stay.

makela is rubbish. he is fit and can run but his first touch is woeful. i doubt he'd drop to state league.

tell me will they have the souvlaki at belmore this year??? i'm hanging out for one of them.\:d/

Franco will definitely be at Apia in 2012!

Take it easy champ, the name of the thread is 'NSWPL Silly season rumours' thats all it is

its probably another O-LYM-PIC media build up.....you know how its works....never happens but it put O-LYM-PIC- on everyones lips........

His contract is up in April, and he's not being re-signed. Will be surprised if he stays in Australia with another A-League team, will piss myself Les Murray style if he goes State League.

Strong rumours linking Franco Parisi to Olympic for this season

And one that has come from way out of left field and has shocked me is Juho Makela the Finnish bloke from the a-league apparently being courted by Olympic also, fun times ahead if this happens

would like to see a draw for this year.....to see how they are going to fit the youth teams into the NSWPL and no effect the tiger cup

squad is nearly finalised. a couple of spots maybe and a couple still might be cut.
theyre ripping in at training and look a lot sharper than same tim last year. support staff have been fantastic.
jagelman and cvetanovski look very good. fingers crossed cvetanovski can beat his injuries cause injury free hes a fantastic player. you dont make the bench at gladbach for no reason.
anyway, see how we go.
naidovski is still a while off after having his knee done in the off season.

put it this way, if we get all our players on the field, im very confident we will do better than last year.

and yeah, still a long time to go before the season starts.

hussein has left us but nothing to do with hayes. hussein signed with us, but then got a gig in malaysia and will probably earn more than a decent mumber of a-league players.
just left from what i know. he had signed with us too but yeah, what do you do.

lol....c'mon Kolner this is football, this shit happens all the time, i can't recall how many times coaches have offered me something and then bare faced lied and backed out, not just shit coaches but leading coaches at leading clubs......

anyway whats the rockdale squad looking like, how many have you got signed sealed and delivered???

With Hayes not going to Rockdale, is it also true that Hussein Akil decided not to join Rockdale but to pursue a career in Singapore?

i think annoyed is a better word. its a matter of principle. i think when u say something, your word should mean something. i also think people should always conduct negotiations in good faith and show courtesy to those who they are dealing with. i'll leave it at that.

good luck to utd, good luck to hayes.

we save a fair chunk of coin and its a long way to go before the season starts and our squad is not yet finalised.

vecause JP and co at utd convinced him if he stayed there hes got the best chance of finally getting an elusive pro contract somewhere.

Sydney United vs Melbourne Knights (annual Friendship Cup). 4.30pm kick off in Edensor on 4/3

I guess we are all just speculating and will never what really went on.

Anyway, let's move on.

Are there pre-season matches scheduled yet?

SK isnt the type to play those games. I'd be very surprised if it was a 'substantial' increase on last year

I am thinking Hayesy put that figure out in the market place to get a wage increase from United.

No doubt he did receive a substantial increase on last year, but as I said I am happy to concede it wasn't the rumoured 1800.

Just like Rooney did with Man Utd last season, and players all over the world do every day.

good move i think......bring in some youngsters
