So far we have the following:

Robbie Kruse signed a three-year contract with German side Bayer Leverkusen for €1.5 million on 28 April 2013

In June 2013 it was announced that Harry Kewell will play for Melbourne Heart in the 2013-2014 A-League season.

After 8 seasons with the Brisbane Roar with 162 appearances and 3 Goals, Massimo Murdocca signed a contract to join the Melbourne Heart on a two year deal, following a release from his final year of his contract.

On Monday 13 May 2013, it was announced by Melbourne Victory that Nichols had signed a two-year deal with the club, reuniting him with his former Roar manager Ange Postecoglou.

It was confirmed on the 30th of May 2013, that Ryan had completed a move to Belgian Pro League side Club Brugge for an undisclosed fee, despite his contract at Central Coast Mariners expiring the following day.

On the 4th of June 2013, Ibini completed his move to newly promoted Chinese Super League side Shanghai East Asia, signing a three-year contract.

FSV Frankfurt have completed the permanent transfer of Australian forward Matthew Leckie from off-season recruits which also includes Harry Kewell.
Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach after a successful one-year loan spell.

Former Ajax defender Rob Wielaert has signed for Australian club Melbourne Heart, joining a growing list of


Add some more lads and discuss the meaning they would bring to their club/rumoured club!

Are we actually using this section for something its intended for? This can't be right.

Deadset Nicholas to victory looks good.

Hopefully CCM keep losing players, not to see them get weaker for league reasons, but just to see that club fail, if not the most racist, despicable bogan fans in this country. 

Outset of young players leaving us for a foreign club improves and is really great. 

Really hoping the league gets 1 more big signing, should be good for the a-league after the great season we had last year.

Still keen on who popa brings back to us with the amount of player we released after the season.

Victory have signed Palermo's Fabrizio Miccoli as its marquee player.

Apparently this isn't official yet, even though The Age reported that it was...

Brisbane Roar Women have signed up German NT captain Nadine Angerer on a free transfer. The 2-time World Champion and 4-time European Champion felt that a change of scenery was in order at this stage in her career as she wanted to experience something  new.

I'm no expert in the world of women's football, so how big a deal is this?

Nadine Angerer is Germany's Nr.1 since 2007 and she is absolutely stunning and able to save even quite some 'unsavable' shots. In the 2007 World Cup, she set the record of no goal conceded during the whole tournament (which included saving a penalty shot by Marta in the final against Brazil), and in this year's Euro she saved the NT's butts in the first match several times. Only yesterday she was powerless once when a nastily deflected shot went past her.  

Angerer played for the crème de la crème clubs of women football (7 years Turbine Potsdam, 4 years 1. FFC Frankfurt), and she let her Frankfurt contract run down as she wanted to experience some foreign football culture afterwards. In her interview she said she wants to help Brisbane win the Australian title, before she will move on to the US in 2014. She said for the 5 month contract with Brisbane she decided against the money, but for the adventure.

BTW fun fact: One of her 121 international matches she played as outfield player when she was subbed in as defender in 2001 in a match against China XD

@Forza

One more thing about Nadine Angerer - today she had another amazing performance in the final of the Euro 2013:

"So an exceptional tournament comes to an end with a final worthy of it, and a goalkeeping performance for the ages."

"There can't have been many better goalkeeping displays than that of Nadine Angerer. Two penalty saves, absurd - but even aside from that (not remotely aside from that), she was confident, composed, and most significantly of all, decisive."

Gallas to Perth glory

Waste of money, marquee defenders aren't going to win you the league.

Well, attacking Marquee's don't always work either. E.g Kewel, ADP.

Did you just highlight ADP as a failed Marquee player, his the sole reason sydney FC even muster points from any games. Is it really his fault they didn't make the finals when he had one of the shitest teams and coaches guiding the club.

No, I am saying a marquee alone does not secure you glory.

While I do agree that an attacking Marquee is probably better overall, Glory do still have Shane Smeltz who is one of the best A-league CF's.

And Gallas is a great player so it is a great signing for them tbh.

Might not work out for Glory, but will boost viewers, money, and the profile of the league.

I think it could work out well if Gallas comes to play and not think it's like retiring. He is a great defender and with some form could be immense for them.

is it wrong that i want to go to a Perth game to do this?

I cannot hear what they're singing

The chant goes like this:

Gallas, Gallas, you're a c*nt, you're a c*unt
and you'll always be a c*nt
you'll always be a c*nt

Awesome.

Looks like Bayer Leverkusen are interested in Mark Birighitti, GK of A-League-Klub Newcastle United Jets.

He made 2 calamitous mistakes in his last game.

Well, Bayer certainly wouldn't want him as Nr.1 as they have Bernd Leno, so prolly they think he can be his understudy and still learn some.

Victory are making some great signings.

Berisha and now Delpierrie.

Both Melbourne teams should be quite strong next season.
