Rest of A-League Transfer (Now with 99% RR - Love your work)

ADELAIDE United outcast Spase Dilevski looms as Ange Postecoglou's first Melbourne Victory signing.

The former Australian youth international will sign a one-year deal with Victory and is expected to join the squad for pre-season next week.

Dilevski, 27, made 12 appearances for United (including seven starts) but struggled to command a regular first-team spot after signing from Romanian club Universitatea Craiova at the start of last season.

Though played primarily as a holding midfielder with United, the skilled Dilevski has played much of his football at right back and will provide competition to Matt Foschini after Matthew Kemp's recent retirement.

Melbourne-born Dilevski spent his teens at PSV Eindhoven and Tottenham before signing with Brisbane Roar for the inaugural A-League season.

Assuming Harry Kewell stays, Dilevski's capture leaves five spots on Victory's roster after the departures of Ante Covic, Grant Brebner, Carlos Hernandez and Kemp.

Three of those are set to be filled by visa players, with Postecoglou still overseas searching for signings.

Defenders Adama Traore (Gold Coast) and Sam Gallagher (Central Coast) were signed in the last weeks of Jim Magilton's tenure, as was Julius Davies after several years in Germany.

Pre-season training starts next week, with Postecoglou due back in Australia this week.

Melbourne Victory today confirms that it has signed Brazilian midfielder, Guilherme Finkler, on a two-year deal.

Most recently Finkler played with ABC Futebol Clube after he was loaned out by Criciuma, a team in Brazil’s second division. While the attacking midfielder has spent the majority of his professional career playing in Brazil, in 2006/07 he tried his hand in Europe, spending the season at English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers after impressing on a pre-season tour of Spain.

Newcastle Jets have agreed to release Nikolai Topor-Stanley, after the defender recieved an offer to play for another as yet unnamed club.

The Jets have revealed that they reached a mutual decision with the long-time defender, and said they didn't want to stand in the player's way to pursue a new chapter at another club.

Another one for the Unicorns I guess.

[quote]Liberian International Patrick Nyema Gerhardt will be announced next week as Melbourne Heart‘s first pre-season signing, with his manager Mirsad Keric confirming a 2 year deal had been tabled and accepted.

Will be interesting if he plays in the UK. He hardly stood out here, it might give us an indication of how the A-League compares to the UK. You would think he could probably pick up a Championship gig.

Adelaide United FC defender Daniel Mullen is on the verge of joining Chinese Super League club Dalian Aerbin after an agreement was reached for the 22 year old.

Also there are rumours that Princess will leave the Victory for South Korea

Victory were looking at using their last import slot on a defender, so would be surprised if they did let Princess go.

[quote]Melbourne Victory is delighted to announce that is has signed promising Australian youngster, Theo Markelis, on a two-year deal.

Having moved to Spain at the age of just 15 to join La Liga giants Valencia, the now 20 year-old striker spent last season in Italy with Vicenza, before deciding upon a move home to Melbourne after his contract with the 1997 Italian Cup winners expired.

The Newcastle Jets have today signed Swiss defender Dominik Ritter to a one-year contract.

Ritter has been playing for FC Winterthur since 2009/10. Prior to this, the 23 year-old came through the system at FC Basel, where he played in their Under 21’s team and then also for the first team squad.

“Dominik can play as fullback, which is his preferred position, or a left side stopper,” coach Gary van Egmond explains.

Melbourne Victory is delighted to announce that 2010/11 Johnny Warren Medallist, Marcos Flores, has signed a two-year deal as the club’s International Marquee player.
