The problem is, first and foremost his priority is to defend and this is where he is found wanting. He's competent at rampaging up the flank, as was Harding.

Their Chairman appears to think it's a done deal Italian football expert James Horncastle: "Sydney FC chairman Scott Barlow has confirmed the signing of Alessandro Del Piero to the Sydney Morning Herald: 'This is huge for Sydney FC, huge for the A-League and huge for Australian football. We feel honoured that Alessandro has decided to play for Sydney FC and we share his excitement that a move to Sydney FC will create a lasting legacy for football in this country.'"

It was an extreme example but goes to show how exposed we are down the left flank with any sort of attacking threat.

I think I'd rather have seen Aaron Martin at left back who at least knows his defending responsibilities. Fox just seems to lack any sense of position when he's defending and would rather be careering up the wing.

Reminds me of Neil Maddison. Does the simple stuff well, almost always finds a team-mate with his pass and breaks-up the opposition play. Be interesting to see how he develops.

There is still a deadline to meet for the 25 man squad submission though I believe? This week sometime?

It's easy to see why Adkins wanted to strengthen at left-back and centre-half.

Could you imagine him working with Cortese

Nigel said he expected to be at SMS till gone 11 and he must have known at that point in time that Ramirez was a done deal so it does suggest another transfer is on the cards....

Any good ones?

His brother needs to speak to the Sydney chairman a bit sharpish then Italian football expert James Horncastle: "Sydney FC chairman Scott Barlow has confirmed the signing of Alessandro Del Piero to the Sydney Morning Herald: 'This is huge for Sydney FC, huge for the A-League and huge for Australian football. We feel honoured that Alessandro has decided to play for Sydney FC and we share his excitement that a move to Sydney FC will create a lasting legacy for football in this country.'"

Ditto

I can't see Sharp going but stranger things have happened in football

Skacel?

So are Celtic

I must be on my own here but at 37 and wanted by the might forces of Sion, FC Sydney and Braga I'm out

Where's Michael Owen going to end up? Says he wants to stay in the Prem.

Nigel de Jong to AC seems a strange one. Was he not a regular for Citeh?

Except for Le Arse. Who was the ex-player who recently said 'why is it that Arsenal have 3 second choice keepers?'

Were all our keepers injured when we had Casey Keller in on loan?

Recent signings aside, I guess it's possible - for a number of reasons - that we might not sign anyone in the next 36 hours or so......

A pendant?..but yes you're right.

I remember Harry getting rid of all our Scandinavians when he came here, he's had an aversion to them at all clubs he's managed with the exception of Hreidarsson (who being Icelandic is not Scandinavian anyway). Anyway, sorry I'm digressing. Have we signed anyone yet?

How about a chant in the form of the Shooting Stars tribute to Ulrika Jonnson

Very diplomatic.
