Rest of A-League Transfer (Now with 99% RR - Love your work)

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the club's control, we won’t be able to announce our new signings on Friday as planned.

— Perth Glory FC (@PerthGloryFC) August 3, 2017

The Roar are set to announce that triallist Peter Skapetis, who scored against Peninsula, will be offered an injury-replacement deal as cover for long-term casualty Daniel Bowles (knee).

Former Newcastle and Perth midfielder Mitch Oxborrow was to have signed as Bowles’s injury replacement, but he instead put pen to paper on a regular season-long contract.

The Roar have also signed teenage midfielder Emilio Martinez on a scholarship deal.

SYDNEY FC will land another star foreigner this week when Polish winger Adrian Mierzejewski arrives to complete a three-year deal.

After a courtship of several weeks, the Sky Blues expect the former Polish international will have passed a medical and signed the deal on offer by the end of the week.

Mierzejewski will replace Filip Holosko on the right side of Sydney’s midfield, though his salary — believed to be close to $600,000 — will come inside the salary cap.

@MelbourneCity have tabled a 2yr marquee status offer to Croatian midfielder Antun Palic worth approx $1.1m @FOXFOOTBALL @TheWorldGame #SST

— Soccer Stoppage Time (@SocStoppageTime) August 13, 2017

Any good El Grap?

Bart Schenkeveld is probably pursuing his career in Australia.The defender of PEC Zwolle is in talks with Melbourne City.

After ridiculous rumours linking it to global superstar Zlatan Ibrahumovic, a two-year deal on the table for Croatian Antun Palic was seen as slightly more realistic.

The 29-year-old attacking midfielder is a free agent having left Romanian club FC Dinamo Bucuresti — where he played 73 games in the past two years.

But the eight-time Croatian youth international is now understood to be on the verge of signing for another overseas club.

And in an added bonus to its 2017-18 prospects, firebrand winger Fernando Brandan is making a play for a shock Round 1 return from a serious knee injury.

Brandan required surgery after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament in training in March.

The season-opening clash against Brisbane at AAMI Park on October 6 would be seven months post injury, but the 27-year-old is back running and recovering well.

A Round 1 return is seen as a best-case scenario, but the club’s medical staff is confident Brandan will feature early in the season.

Melbourne City’s hopes of securing former Croatian under-21 representative Antun Palic are officially over, with the club unable to meet the financial demands of the 29-year old.

Melbourne City have already begun the international search to find an injury replacement for star striker Bruno Fornaroli, the club's top goalscorer for the past two seasons.

Fornaroli, City's marquee player, is expected to be out of action until at least the new year having suffered a fractured ankle in City's 3-2 FFA Cup win over Sydney Hakoah on Tuesday night.

Still unconfirmed but is now being reported in the Daily Telegraph
