A whole lot of speculation going on in Sydney, some already commented on

Sydney have already begun reshaping their squad for next season, with Perth Glory midfielder Simon Colosimo confirmed as a recruit this week, and Newcastle Jets striker Mark Bridge expected to announce his arrival in the next week.

Heading in the other direction could be utility Zadkovich, who has opened discussions with the Jets, while veterans Ufuk Talay [Avispa Fukuoka] and David Zdrilic [released] are definitely leaving. Brazilian pair Patrick and Juninho are likely to follow.

Perth Glory midfielder Mitchell Prentice is another possible arrival, while Peruvian striker Bruno Salas, 22, has impressed during his trial, and could be offered a deal if Sydney can arrange a loan spell with a NSW Premier League club.

Another player who could come under consideration is Jordanian international Siraj Al Tall, who is trialling with NSWPL club Sydney Olympic, and made his debut in the pre-season Johnny Warren Cup last weekend. The 25-year-old striker arrived in the country a fortnight ago, and is keen to play in the A-League after spending most of his career with 2007 AFC Cup finalists Al-Faisaly.

Former Socceroos utility Milan Blagojevic, now coaching Sydney Olympic, said: "He's a bit short of match practice, and obviously it's one thing to play up front and another thing to score goals. Everyone wants a goalscorer.

"But I like what I see, and he could be good enough for the A-League. It's early days, but his touch is impressive, and you can see he knows his way around the park."
