2016/17 Transfer Speculation

European defender with experience in his 20s.

sounds like this is going to be another jack hingert situation

for those who don't remember, we had hingert here on trial a wee way back, he wanted to sign, we dithered, the roar swooped and the rest is history

But he wants pants in the trial game according to those who watched... I'd rather miss out on a player through being thorough than rush and screw up.

Significant Club announcement to be made tomorrow morning. Stay tuned. #NixAnnouncement

The new Siggy on his way?

Gosh I hope so

Now I won't be able to sleep!

Not sure it will be a player if it is a 'club announcement'

When was it due to expire?

It was already extended a few months back

Assume not player related; probably a minor sponsor?

Club Announcement: We have advanced into the next round of the FFA Cup due to the RBB setting off flares. 

WSW have been disqualified from the FFA Cup due to the RBB lighting flares last week and we have been handed their place in the Round of 16?

I think you're over-analysing the word "club." They just mean; announcement from the club.

$10 parking under the stadium for Season Ticket holders??

Most of the time they say 'Player announcement'

$10 price limit on a pint of craft beer at the game?

 Wakmesly announced as head coach.

I know we are not due for a kit but being that everyone has the current one on clearance it could be a special 10th year kit.

new sponsor to replace Carlsberg in the coveted bum spot on the shirts

Marco Rossi might come to the Phoenix according to my Italian source 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Rossi_(footballer,_born_1987)

As a (not so) Italian I am offended! I mean, defended? 

http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/resto-del-mondo/esclusiva-tmw-marco-rossi-vola-in-australia-accordo-con-il-wellington-i-dettagli-863147 Here's the speculation 

At least we should know the results of our games before them...

A few guys with Italian sounding names on the Nix FB page saying it's a done deal 

Piney saying Italian translator at presser.

Marco Rossi 1-year-8-month ban from football activities and €20,000 fine— (plea bargain)

He was just misunderstood.

Does Dura speak Italian?

Going to have to learn fast.. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+swear+in+Italian

So unless I got my dates wrong he played for Cesena in Serie A a few years ago, but is now playing in an amateur league on loan from a Serie B club?

Wonder why, injury?  Didn't quite recover from his ban?

The "right reasons" that Ernie mentioned are probably along the lines of restarting his career and getting away from the stigma of his past.

Drives Zlatan insane, let's see what he can do with Berserk Berisha.

Yeah he was part of the Italitan match fixing and banned for a year and a half.

Used to be worth 2.5 million Euros http://www.transfermarkt.com/marco-rossi/profil/sp...

Good luck with that with some of the NZ media.
