I doubt we will see a replacement for Paulsen come from another club in the A-league. Many clubs tried the build-up play with the keeper but failed. Unless Chiefy thinks Duncan is good enough, we could see a visa spot for GK.
WPM 2024/25 Squad Speculation, Confirmation and Mutual Termination
Saw Kraev in town today, along with his expecting partner. Good news and hopefully means he's negotiating to extend jus contract
Chiefy watching the Reserves at Petone yesterday.
I personally was impressed with the lad Dylan Gardiner at centre back. Very good in the year and assured on the ground playing out.

With Chief back in town announcements on Kraev and Duncan must be due soon you’d guess
I thought he’d signed for a polish side?
Nothing formally announced
I see Uli’s been released. Surely he is worth a punt.

You jest? If he's found gulty of these spot fixing charges - especially if he's identified as the ring leader - he faces a ban of several years that likely spells the end of his career. No one will be looking at him until this case is over. If he is found completely innocent, then yeah he will have suitors. But you sense the NSW cops didn't make those very public arrests without some hard evidence.
See that Colombia has now been announced as the country of origin of the spot fixing ring.

Yeah the only football team he's signing for will be the prison one!
Interesting that Davila has had his contract terminated by MAC, but as yet Lewis hasn't.
Though Davila has already made his court appearance, whilst Lewis has his on Thursday. So we wait to see what MAC do with Lewis after that.
Baccus & Millar the other alledged parties have already been released, at the end of their contracts.

Davilla has pretty much admitted his involvement though? I recall that Lewis has claimed he's innocent, I guess MAC cant terminate Lewis' contract until he's proven/admits his guilt???

Punt. Of course. Blind to the obvious attempted humour.
Guess with Uli find the situation more sad than funny.

What I don't get is how the news spoke of mutual termination between Uli and the Bulls. Surely spot fixing will be classed as gross misconduct and therefore be termination worthy?
Re Clayton Lewis, maybe they are waiting for his court appearance to see how he pleads? If innocent, I guess they will wait until the courts have spoken?

As someone else alluded to the judicial process isn’t over. If they both agree they can get it done quicker and with less trampling on the good things he did. It’s almost like an apology to club and fans.
Everyone knows his story and he brought at times sparkling football to the fans here and there. It feels like he’s still got a lot of sympathy, even if it was a dumb thing to do. Football is part an entertainment business and he entertained.
