Sitting in the middle of Hyde Park on a perfect Sydney day. The BEST spot to have received this news…

Hear exclusively from returning Sky Blue Adam Le Fondre as he casts his eyes over our season so far and when he’s hoping to bring to our remaining matches in Season 2020/21 interview here

Apologies to all those who I told in this thread a few months back to get over Alf coming back because it’s never happening

2 and a half year deal is interesting too. As someone above said, that does suggest there’s some kind of financial assurance

While we’re bringing old players back, has Adrian had enough of Shanghai yet?

Are you able to start repeatedly saying we won’t win the Club World Cup?

So I guess his first eligible game could be 8th May away at Newcastle, but that probably comes too soon after 14 days in a hotel room. More likely is a debut in the last regular game of the season a week later, away at Western United. So looks to be a bit late for any realistic tilt at the plate, but we should give the finals a decent shake.

Edit: This is completely wrong, they just updated the fixture schedule.

That’s not the last game - it was just the last one announced in the previous batch. There are some more now:

We will never ever win the Club World Cup, Asian Champions League, win back to back to back titles, sign Lionel Messi or beat Victory or Wanderers ever again

Guys just forget it. We won’t be included in the Perez-Agneli World Super League.

insanity, he has been the missing link this season. We are in with a good shot of the premiership and championship again…the salt from other clubs and accusations about cap space will be hilarious.

Right you are. FMD keeping track of fixtures has been a nightmare this season. Might be time for an end of season “run in to the finals” thread to keep track of it all.

Cannot wipe the smile off my face - seriously exciting news.

I also really like that with players like Bobo and ALF returning to the club (and appearing to be really pleased to be back), it’s evidence of how strong and positive our club culture is, and the great team dynamic and cohesion that has been built and maintained, as compared to say the RoT period.

Adrian Ninkovic Alf Bobo on a pitch together with Corica coaching and Brosque commentating would be too much to handle

Between Bobo and ALF (Remember him?), the possibility of Simpsons references is just too much to handle! :blue_heart:

Nearly 70% of a-league players do not yet know where they will be playing beyond June mind you.

For us, those without a contract so far include: Wilkinson, Heward-Belle, Retre, Talbot, Zuvela, Baumjohann, Bobo, Buhagiar, McGowan, Swibel, Caceres, Flottmann.

Suspect, someone is going to have to give way to cover Aflie from that list.
