Del Piero. Beckham. Who's next? Maradona?

Del Piero might bail the way Sydney are going. Another loss last night. Talk already that he isn't happy. At Juve he would have got use to winning and being at a club that wins trophies.

Heskey has never played for Spain current World and reigning 2 time European champions whilst Heskey has never played for a decent club anywhere either.

When Heskey scores 80 goals in a calendar year I'll consider mentioning him in the same sentence as the great Argentinian lol.

I'd take Messi anywhere anytime over this backwater footballer.

The MVFC squad looks strong.

If they can survive a few transfer windows without significant loss Melbourne should give the Asian Champions League a good shake.

A team that cheats too (salary cap). Bit like juv ($$ refs). He shouldn't feel much like a fish out of water.

wont get near it
they should just send Adelaide every year

[mightytiges]

It's hard for Australian sides to do well in the ACL given the limited finances of the clubs and the fact due to the qualifying criteria we have to send our best teams from the previous season over rather than the best teams currently.  It'll be even harder now that AFC has cut back on the number of Australian sides that can qualify.

ps. The Victory haters have been very quiet lately .

Think you will find Adelaide trophy total not dissimilar to the old St kilda saints 

More so, Melbourne have been unlucky in recent acl draws. Getting the stronger group regardless of 1st place finish

[gerkin greg]

have the victurdry ever made it out of the acl group stage before? lmao

even harder to compete in that comp when the FFA make you pay your own way then make you split any prize money with all the other a-league clubs

joke of a body is the FFA

The FFA need to forget the circuses and focus on saving the game in this country. Newcastle are in all sorts of trouble. Heart dont have any supporters and their sweetheart deal at the stadium ends at the end of the season. The A League is in crisis - Again!
