Kerala Blasters have announced the departure of Jordan Murray. Ex-Wellington striker Gary Hooper has also been released. [@KeralaBlasters]

Yeah but when he left (along with Steinmann & Taylor) for India, the A League was a very uncertain place in 2020. Future is a lot brighter downunder now. Plus Davila leaving has freed up some salary cap dollars.
Is the Nix and a 26 game season, more attractive than a 46 game winter slog in The Championship/League One, given he's been pretty injury prone last few years? Would he insist on a min 2 year deal (is 34 next January), before agreeing to bring his whanau all the way back to NZ?
If Hemed's gone I'd re-sign a (fit) Hooper quick smart. Break the annoying pattern of last few seasons, of starting first few months off slow whilst a new visa striker gets up to speed.
I'm sure Taylor is in his ear! Ball likely also.

I saw a post on Instagram from a Swindon Town fan account saying he was linked with them and MK Dons. I haven’t been to the UK but surely Wellington is a better destination than almost 50 games a season for one of those.

Swindon is shark. Likewise Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes is like the Hutt for roundabouts and a huge shopping Center.
Roux is a great attacking weapon but his A League career is littered with defensive errors. Wouldn't be comfortable having him in the back four personally.
Sutton/McGarry on the left. Roux/Fenton on the right and our very solid lineup of CB's and we probably have the best defence in the league next season.

Might for a good coach, good team and a contract coming out of a wooden spoon team.
Also I’m not sure about McGarry at LB. I wouldn’t mind someone else there who could shut that side down defensively. McGarry had a 50/50 season for mine and needs to convince Uffie if he wants to remain a left back. Though tbh, I could see him as a right sided inverted winger/10...though that may be crazy talk...Piscopo shooting with his right from the left side and Jimmy with his left from the right side?

If he plays for the Franchise he's dead to me forever
I would not be surprised if both Traore and Roux end up at Western United. It would be a win-win for the respective defensive qualities of both Victory and United.

Kevin Muscat linked with Western and both played under him at different points at Victory
Plus Sutton is P16 W8 D7 L1 (P11 W5 D6 L0 as a starter), so its not like he has been costing us games.
"Dome has confirmed an offer is on the table for Israeli striker Tomer Hemed, who scored in the last five games of the season. Hemed has been given a "window" to make a decision."
I’m sure if we look hard enough we could do better with that visa striker slot, but i’d love to have just one season with an import striker at full fitness. Please?
Fully understand - it actually is a lovely little beach and great even for a winter swim in June-July. But does it compare to Oriental Bay???
"I think to be honest, being located in Wollongong didn't help us because eventually his family did come over and I think they enjoyed living in that part of Australia. We were up against it when we had to compete with a potential lifestyle change that someone form maybe Central America may have appreciated more than living in this part of the world," Dome says.
"We certainly wanted to keep Uli, we thought he was an important part of the mix. The good thing about Uli - at no stage did he complain, and there were a number of things he had to overcome – his wife had a baby in Mexico and was separated from them for a long time."
"I think he'll be surprised that a number of people who have left the Wellington Phoenix and gone to other clubs, they've found it a lot more difficult than playing at Wellington. You look at Western United over the last week or two, all the players that left Wellington Phoenix and have gone to Western have struggled. [Durante] had a fantastic end to his career, he's probably the exception but the players and the coach that left have struggled since they've gone from a very solid, stable club.
"Good luck to him. We're going to move on and I have every confidence that Ufuk Talay and his team will pull together a very very competitive team for next season."
Wellington are in talks with Gary Hooper about a potential return to the club. Hooper is a free agent after leaving Kerala Blasters last week. [@DanielGarb]https://t.co/WvwcaEFTW9

Front four of Piscopo Hooper Hemed Ball sounds handy
While I was a fan of hooper a season ago, I wonder how his body will hold up and whether or not he will take half a season to get up to speed again.

He looks more like a creator rather than an all out striker like Hemed and Hooper.
Would bet against keeping Hemed for exactly the same reason. He wants to be in a part of the world where lots of people will turn out waving the Mogen David for him.
