Sydney FC Sign John Aloisi, Mark Bridge and Colosimo + Reinaldo moves to Korea

It’s official.

Good to see some initiative by Kosmina but not what we need, would’ve been happy with one but a brick of strikers, all quality is a bit much. Granted Bridge can play up left and Enfield up right but I do think our squad has a little too much depth – like Liverpool, alot of quality players that we would have to rotate and that would just piss everyone off.

Our most realistic options would be:

GK: Bolton
LB: Tsatallios and not Renaud hopefully/ McFlynn
CB: Milligan/Fyfe
CB: Popovic if he doesn’t die from old age/Fyfe
RB: Fyfe/ Middleby/ Zadkovich
RM: Enfield/Middleby/Zadkovich/Biddle
CM: Juninho (if staying)/McFlynn/Corica
CM: Juninho (if staying)/Colosimo/Corica
LM: Middleby/Corica/Biddle/Bridge
ST: Brosque/Bridge/Santalaab
ST: Aloisi/Patrick/Enfield

That’s a helluvalot.
Then again, depth might not be so bad.

Bridge will miss part of the start of the season owing to Olyroo duties and such which will give us a chance to try some more obscure striking partnerships such as Brosque/Aloisi and I would like to see Patrick and Enfield get a run out.

We’ll give the title a shot next season I reckon.
Squad just needs a bit of trimmin’ though which has already begun with Talay out and Juninho and Zdrilic probably going.

Queensland Roar striker Reinaldo has signed a two-year deal with K-League outfit Busan I’Park and may make his debut for the club this weekend. One of the greater strikers of the A-Leagues short life, a step into Korea seems more like a sideways instead of a forward. He was linked to Colorado, Houston, Real Salt Lake – clubs in France like Metz – and even Japan with Sanfrecce, FC Tokyo and obviously good old Pierre and Avispa Fukuoka. Seems a money thing, if the K-League payed the same as the A-League he would’ve stayed here – a move to the US or Japan would be a great career move for him buuuuuuuut maybe Busan were the first to make a concrete offer.

Whatever, not my loss.

Cheers until tomorrow.
