Yeah interesting signing. They must be sooo close to the cap...

Maybe there's a loophole that says if you have McFlynn as your captain then his wages actually give you more space in the cap..

Press release lists 23 players, so that appears to complete the roster. 5 of those are outside the cap.

Didn't realise that you can have more than 1 youth player's wages outside the cap.

There is an $150k allowance for Homegrown players outside the cap, this can be spread over 3 players. Minimum youth wage is 40k a season, so basically means your 3 u20's players can be basically excluded.

Sydney FC is happy to announce the signing of Serbian defender Nikola Petkovic to complete Head Coach Frank Farina’s playing squad for the Hyundai A-League 2013/14 season.

http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/sydneyfc/news-display/sydney-fc-sign-serbian-nikola-petkovic/75271

The FFA didn't buy the injury replacement argument (*cough*Salary Cap rort*cough*), so they signed him up for on a full season deal instead.

Rumours are that he did it filming a Fox Sports promo.

They have also lost Triantis for 4-5 months with osteitis pubis. Adding to Gameiro, Bojic, Antonis & Janjetovic on the injury list.

Ah, so he definitely wouldn't have suffered that injury had he re-signed with us.

Because they have a lot of cr*p squad filler players. Given Bosschaart has been injured for so long, they probably have a clause in his contract to get out of it cheaply. Otherwise they would use an injury replacement.

Can't add this to Crea's tally but does seem that injuries follow him around. Sydney could end up with a full team of injury replacements before the season finishes.
