Either that or he was a little absent minded after shooting up in the shed at half time.

He’s an incredible player.

Surely they meant New York City.

Would absolutely take him but with Anas signed it’d probably through the balance of the squad off a bit
 unless we’re thinking Di Maria- Anas- Lolley is enough creativity for Wood to score 15.

It’s probably enough for me to score 15 times.

That initial Di Maria rumour was almost immediately squashed. Came from a new user on Transfermarkt posting it with no sources.

Bloody hell, the MLS has a bit of a hard on for Australian football at the moment. Along with Girwood-Reich and Yazbek heading there and now Brooks from the WanderLOLs. Apparently a few more could follow.

Yeah. Not unusual with the womens but we’ve rarely seen so many young mens players have we?

You’d think so wouldn’t you. :grin:

Well we had a sell on clause on Yazbek according to this so we’re netting more transfer fees. Doesnt say how much though. And guess this really well and truly settles the “Hoff vs Yazbek” debate. We definitely made the right choice.

He has gone a long way to doing that with a sell-on clause set to net the Sky Blues a proportion of the reported 2.7 million euros ($4.4 million AU) transfer fee, making him one of the most expensive Australian players in history.

Yeah the Yazbekistan!

While I want to see these kids excel in Sky Blue for us, it brings me joy that they’re also forging on with their careers, growing as players, and netting our club more moolah.

So apparently we had another friendly behind closed doors again tonight at Leichhardt Oval


Aside from the annoying fact it was behind closed doors


We beat Spirit FC 6-0. Goals to Kurchaski x 2, Courtney Perkins x 2, Segga & Gurd

Haven’t been able to see if Joe Lolley has made the pitch yet?

Assuming we are giving him plenty of recovery time after his injury.

I assume we’ve arranged a second stool at the Beach Road Hotel for him to rest it up on.

Dear lord the debauchery I had in there back in the day makes me glad that social media wasn’t invented back then.

Entirely forgot he was injured tbh.

What was the diagnosis in terms of time out?

He has had 11 weeks to recover from a hamstring injury. If he hasn’t recovered from it yet then don’t expect him to ever return

Torn hamstrings take about three months to recover from, don’t they? A pulled hamstring is about three weeks.
