According to Stuckey of We Are The Reds, there are rumours circulating that AU have signed a 24 yo central defender as a replacement for Nigel Boogaard.

One player I can think of who fits this description and would be cheap enough for Adelaide (free) is Zac Anderson, who I saw being linked with Adelaide online recently.

Matthew Jurman is 24? He's also off contract at Sydney.

Would be disappointed to lose him. He's been good for us this season.

Surely it's Anderson.

Jurman is 25.

I never really paid much attention to Anderson when he was at Mariners, how good is he and how would he do at Adelaide?

Antony Golec is 24 - well for the next few weeks.

He did confirm he was leaving WSW last week.

He's off to Perth Glory, isn't he?

He seems to struggle with his ball-playing. But is quite strong as an old-school type stopper.

Then I'm not sure why Gombau would think he'd fit in at Adelaide.

I just hope he doesn't do stupid shit like bring down players inside the box from behind like Nigel.

more than likely, but haven't seen it confirmed yet.

I'm not sure what any club sees in Anderson.

Was only made to look competent by how awful Bosnar is.

TBH I find him as useful as NTS was before his increased form at WSW.

Perfect replacement for Boogaard \:d/

I thought Golec was already dumped by Gombau as not being a ball playing centre back.
Likewise with Jurman, he didn't get much of a run with Brisbane Roar for his lack of ability on the ball.

Doubt it would either of those, unless Gomabu has decided to add some spine (muscle).

Boogaard has improved immensely under Gombau, Anderson certainly can do the same

Watch out for Boogs getting back to his old form when he plays for the Jerks

Golec has been released by the wankers.

Could he be on the way to United?

Youd think if it was anderson they would announce a name seeing as their season is over which for me suggests its a player they cant name .. jerman

He played almost 40 games for us, he was just awful.

golec updated his facebook account not long ago to

Glad to be back in adelaide .... soo who knows what that could mean

His family isin Adelaide andhe got the arse from wsw.

What family does he have in Adelaide? His parents live in Sydney.

Are you guys keeping Palanca? If he's on the way out it could be a foreigner? Otherwise my money is on Golec.

No clue. He's shown some moments of brilliance, but I'm not sure if he's proven himself.

Since Golec's gone to Perth, I'm guessing it's Anderson.

Good.

He was very decent for us before he went north, and he's been pretty decent for us since since he returned. :lol:

Just because your rents live in Sydney, doesn't mean you don't have family elsewhere. :lol:

Perhaps he has a second cousin once removed, that's he might have met at a wedding briefly.

But wogs being wogs, it's still fucking family, and if some c*nt in a bar threatens to smash him over the head, he'll call on every family member he can muster to go bash the little Aussie in.

So yeah, he could have family in Adelaide. :-" :-" 8-[ :lol:

Howd he work out in the granny for ya? :lol:

He was fine until he got that head knock and played the rest of the game concussed.
