Squad speculation thread 2020/21

Sydney coach Steve Corica has said he believes his side could benefit from signing Sadio Mane. At a public launch of his new range of hair care products, the Senegalese forward confessed that he had heard great things about Sydney’s beaches. A move is unlikely at this stage.”

According to a spokesman for the Office of Peter Dutton, Asa was full of praise for Sydney’s open and progressive lifestyle in her visa application. A move is unlikely at this stage.”

Seems an unlikely Sydney signing tbh

So what you are saying is a move is unlikely at this stage?

Seems unlikely considering our recent MO when making signings (using our network - which presumably doesn’t run into Cuba). Agent talk.

Yeah I agree with all the above, unless maybe Yairo Yau knows him somehow? Can’t think how else our usual old boys network would get onto him.

Edit: Yep he played with Yairo Yau at Cartagines. I guess that means it’s not entirely baseless.

I won’t trust anything about us getting a new striker until we hear more stuff about Alfie leaving.

Pretty good scoring record last few seasons

This season 9 goals in 8
Last season 25 goals in 37 games
Season before 23 goals in 39 games

Not sure if this has been said already but ALF got a massive tattoo of the opera house and his kids on his arm. Would seem like a weird thing to do if your leaving but who knows.

On that note:

Thought it seemed like a thanks for the memories tattoo. Know goal isnt the most reliable source though

Hope its bullshit - no quotes from clubs, players or even agents

At least he can hang out with Brillante who also signed for them last month. He may well go but these articles are hugely unreliable.

I found that more of a sign of him actually leaving. Memories of such of great time etc obviously.

Are we still expecting the new season to start in December? If so anyone going to India is going to miss out on next season in A-League… But if we have a delayed start well in to 2021, a quick money grab in India and back for our next season is completely fine with me. For any A-league player. Do players know more than the public about the season start?

Public comments have indicated December or February but it isn’t really known yet.

They already said some time into next year didn’t they? That’s been reported a few times.

I think they want to start in December but a date has not yet been formally announced.

I think the factors to be considered are; they want to wait until they can have full stadiums but they have to get two seasons played before the World Cup commences in mid-November 2022.

After the 7-2 loss to Villa, Liverpool can keep van Dijk. Wilko would never have let that happen.

Never say never. But it is unlikely

No details but good news.

The pay agreement will allow the club to begin pre-season this week while also looking ahead to renewing its AFC Champions League 2020 campaign in November.
