Sydney FC has boosted its defensive stocks ahead of the 2013/14
season by completing the signing of dual premiership winning defender Matt Jurman on a one year deal.
http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/sydneyfc/news-display/Sydney-FC-Signs-Defender-Matt-Jurman/66436
Also Ray Gatt is reporting that Carle signed a new 3 yr deal. He had 1 yr left on his marquee deal, so guessing this is to bring him under the cap.

18 games, 5 broken legs, 4 stray elbows, 200 reckless tackles.

Sydney FC has added more steel to its defensive stocks by signing
former Young Socceroos left back Marc Warren on a one year contract.
http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/sydneyfc/news-display/Sydney-FC-Signs-New-Left-Back/68939The 21 year old represented Australia at the FIFA Under 20’s World Cup in 2011 and after spells with Sheffield United and the Central Coast Mariners, spent last season in the Scottish first division with Airdrie United.
Those that saw him with Sydney and CCM in the NYl are not at all impressed.

Good signing - think he will find gametime hard to get this season, although Farina wasnt afraid of playing two up top last year.
Guess he's got youth on his side and will see himself as a starter in a season or two

I think he will start, if they go for a 4-5-1.
Janjetovic
Bojic Ryall Tiago Warren
Grant Carle
Griffiths ADP Emmo
Gameiro
Just no width in their attack, Bojic & Warren will have to provide it all.

Wouldnt be playing Griffiths wide personally. Think if anything, you could see Gameiro and him swapped and Corey does have a good defensive workrate, but for me he is a striker as is Griffiths

Think they are a defensive midfielder or two away from looking pretty good - Bojic is a big signing imo.
Plus Bosschaart still too I believe?

So much for ADP being injured atm and unable to play ...
When was he ever injured? If you're referring to the All Stars game - they always planned to play in Japan instead.

Sydney are going on a 6 game pre season tour to Italy and playing some pretty good sides.
Looks like they mean business this season.

Think this will surprise a few people. Most had him going to the Jets.

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..
