Western Sydney Wanderers Thread- Cosplay Ultras Edition

PIO goals cost 500k each, this guy could be similar value!

He’s played with Schwegler before too, so with any luck they’ll be able to swap shirt numbers. The #19 would be right between Jurman and Vedran in the locker room…

Tbh really rate their gold kit and the whole release they’ve done with it. The box with western Sydney mapped over it is clean. In fact, I really rate the whole branding direction they’ve taken with the club this off season using local rappers and creatives. Can’t help but feel our approach has always been a little too boring and hardly appealing to a younger and more hip demographic.

Yeah. Winning is so boring.

Majewski has sufferers a knee injury, they’re waiting on scans to determine severity, article behind pay wall.

Western Sydney Wanderers import Radoslaw Majewski sent for scans

Western Sydney Wanderers’ coach Markus Babbel’s A-League plans have been struck an early blow after a star import was injured at training.

One of Western Sydney Wanderers’ star imports could miss the start of the new A-League season after Polish playmaker Radoslaw Majewski was injured at training.

In what could be a significant blow to coach Markus Babbel’s plans for the new campaign, Majewski will have scans on his right knee today after colliding with defender Dylan McGowan.

Though the club hope it will prove to be just a temporary setback, Majewski has told teammates he is concerned the injury could be worse than that.

The 32-year-old was signed to bring a level of creativity to the Wanderers attacks that has been missing in recent seasons, and had shown signs of his class in the 7-0 demolition of Sydney United earlier this month.

After losing their FFA Cup quarterfinal to Melbourne City last week, Western Sydney kick off their A-League season at home to the Mariners on October 12 — the night they return to Parramatta to play at the new Bankwest Stadium.

Western Sydney have already dodged one bullet in pre-season, with striker and captain Mitch Duke ready for round one after tearing a meniscus last month — an injury that had initially be seen as a suspected ACL injury.

The Wanderers were approached for comment."

Confirmed that majewski had ruptured his acl & mcl.

Never like to see a player do his ACL, even if it is a player from a rival team. But with him and Duke out before the season even starts, these are new levels for the Wanderers.

Hope their fans really savoured that early success.

Bloody hell. Is this something the A-League is specially shit at? Australian sports science should be good right? Is it the pitches? The sub-standard physical specimens that make it to this sub-standard league?
It’s never good to see this happen to a player, and losing guys like him and Hoolahan is shit for the quality of the league.

Duke is fine, see last paragraph of sinjin’s post.

Sucks for the poor man’s Adrian, but tbh he’s probably the most replaceable link in their XI so it won’t derail them completely. They’ve got options with different systems and with Meier up top they could even play Duke in behind.

Vedran likes to run out on the field,perhaps hes a handy replacement?

Having 5 keepers in their squad is handy

Completely missed that.

Shitty. Like to see get get trounced with no excuses

Way too many knees going across the board in this country for professional sports and I wonder how much of their new facility has played a part in this injury as well.

I didn’t think the poor mans Adrian was going to do much and possibly over rated…but I’ll never know for sure.

I’m sure Babbel has got some other 37 year old lined up.

He did it in a collision

On reflection, our 3 month pre-season is probably a significant factor as to the number of pre-season injuries we have compared to proper leagues. It’s just a much longer time (i.e. roughly 3x) in which this can happen.

Presumably they use the insurance to replace?

In the latest instalment of utter wank from this franchise, member packs include a blank key (naturally complete with star on one end).

Not a key ring, a key, as in take it to Mr Minit and get it cut into the shape of your house key or whatever… in order to signify that they’re “going home”. FMD.

I don’t mind that idea to be honest. Wouldn’t mind a sky blue house key.
