Reports that CCM have a 250k offer for McBreen but don't want to sell. Insane if they don't accept it.

I do love your updates Ryan. One of my favourite posters

I agree they would be mad not to cash him in with his age. That's a bloody good deal.
As a side note, how does that Jets deal to China (?) for Brockie for $400k look now? Bet they would cash that if they could go back in time.

CCM really are wheelers and dealers. I'm guessing this is how they make a profit and keep the club a float too.
I'd be interested in their youth scheme without Graeme there not over looking it with his guiding hand. See if they can continue to churn them out.

Zwansviik (spelling) is the youth coach/ is in charge of youth, all reports are that he is doing an amazing job in finding and training these young players

I was mistaken about McBreen, its a case of CCM wanting 250k instead of it being offered. He is rather pissed that they wont release him, despite Moss saying he can go.

Reports that CCM have signed Bosnar under Sydney's noses. Farina came out and told the media he wasn't going to rush into signing Bosnar. Would be so funny if its true.

about 12 years ago

Ive heard two different reports from ccm and Sydney fc both claiming they have signed bosnar.

Bahaha
What a cluster fuck

I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

The irony is that the Mariners youth team is currently last in the Youth League. I guess you only need one or two players of real quality to come through the ranks.

Also interesting to see Sainsbury has signed with Zwolle which is Ryan Thomas' club.

Ray Gatt @Gatty54

Mehbrahtu to sign with Wanderers on 2.5 year deal. But only for ACL this season as Wanderers AL squad is full

about 12 years ago

I think I can hear a can of worms opening if Gatty is correct with that.

about 12 years ago

So he has a 2.5 year deal but can only play in the ACL, or until they release some players next year?

It would be this years ACL campaign, which includes games during the current season and in next A-League season they will have him on their 23 man A-League roster.

ACL squads are 30 men and the AFC doesn't care about our salary cap, so there would be no issues from them. This could mean the Victory for example, could sign Og & Neill to bolster their defensive stocks on short term deals for their ACL campaign.

Williams & Durante signed for Sydney for an ACL campaign previously but that was after all 3 clubs were eliminated from the play offs. So this would be a first to me.

I'm intrigued by the thought of an A-League club having a player on their books outside the roster & cap restrictions. Ernie was talking about Aussie A-League clubs being able to sign 3 NYL players, whilst we couldn't. If a club can sign players outside those restrictions, why can't we just sign some kids up then? They couldn't play anywhere but we already have that problem now anyway.

In other news SST saying that Cernak will be getting closer to completing the set, as he is in talks with CCM.

about 12 years ago

I initially read that as completing the set but its *closer* to completing.

 

For a young guy, he has been around.

CCM would be his 6th club, at 24!

WSW have reportedly signed Daniel Mullen on a 2.5 year deal, same as Golgol's.

Your argument is a compelling one, Sir.
