Squad speculation thread 2020/21

I can’t see the club going easy on the ACL.

We are not out of contention yet, a hub system will work for us by nullifying the repeated disadvantages we face due to long air trips across hemispheres and seasons, and … we are Sydney, the famous FC …

Imagine if we Steven Bradbury’d the ACL, and picked up a third bit of silverware…

Can we do this at BankWest as well?

Teams have been doing this ever since we moved to a more counter-attacking style and it has worked pretty well at times even with ALF.

Tilio has confirmed that he’s left

Posted this bad boy a month ago :sunglasses:

Alfies in England, and has just bought a new car.

Sunderland?

It worked for Dwight Yorke.

A search of Alf on Google reveals that he currently plays for Mumbai

That’s because they take it off Wikipedia, somebody has anonymously edited the page (without valid sources, so not a valid edit) and nobody cares enough to keep A-League wiki pages updated anymore.

A bit sad to see Tilio go. I’ve loved watching him go through our youth system, he would just light up those games. Pity we’ll never see him realise his potential with us.

Looking at that list, you’d think wilko, Abj will be gone, and kosta too unless he takes a significant play cut or finds his scoring boots. Hopefully Warland, Gowser and Caceres re-sign. Flottman, Zuvela are probably gone, thb probably gets another year cos he’s a solid backup.

I don’t think Wilko is going anywhere. He’s 35 and still has a contract for next season, can’t see him or the club wanting to part ways. He was interviewed last week on TWG pod and was saying that he’s feeling good with is body and is keen to keep on playing.

Is there a way of getting this list into the first post, or somehow flagging it so it’s easy to find?

Just noticed that you can bookmark the post - click on the three dots next to reply, then click on the bookmark. When you view the threads you’ll see a bookmark icon next to it, if you click on that it takes you straight to the bookmarked post.

I’ll edit it in

You mean after next season?

Wilko is also the players rep on the PFA. If he’s not playing after saying he’s coming back then it’s likely nobody is.

Wilko’s the President of the PFA.
