its on the front page:

The media do this all the time.

For example, Sky Sports announced Michael Owen had agreed to join Stoke City ages ago but he only signed in the past 24 hours. You have to realise that the media love to extrapolate from what an agent may or may have not said and then present this as fact.

Until the club shows Del Piero holding up a Sydney FC shirt, it isn't a done deal. I've followed football long enough to know that things change very quickly.

[OzKo]

I really hate this "Del Piero will save the A-League" rubbish.

[Shadowdude]

lolwat where did you read that


That's a bit overzealous. I mean... look at what happened to Kewell.

[will_]

a-league is at where the mls was at 10 years ago. del piero will provide the a-league with the boost it needed at this time

[Shadowdude]

I really hope so.


I'm also excited to finally have a professional football team playing close-ish to where I live. Should be great. Really great.

[Shadowdude]

So Shinji Ono, i.e. Tensai, to join WSW


interesting


would've preferred ballack for sheer star power but, let's see how tensai goes


Maybe, just maybe, WSW might think to themselves:

Only four days until the season kicks off.

This time around, I might watch Sydney FC a bit more closely.

Nice.


I'll be in the members zone (OMG OMG OMG OMG SO EXCITING)

It'll be my first ever club football match.

the atmosphere at the wanderers game was unbelievable. i have never seen a club with such passionate fans. bring on the derby in 2 weeks time. i unfortunately will not be attending that one despite having the season pass since mathematics is 2 days after the game and then extension a couple days later

Does the Season Pass include away games?
