Australian transfers 24-25 winter

I definitely agree there are a lot of early moves, but I think the more guys that are heading overseas young, the more likely we’re going to uncover players that are capable of stepping up and playing at a higher level.

I know a lot of them aren’t going to be able get minutes in the Championship like Bennie has done this season, but maybe he’s a decent example that some of these players might surprise us.

As a rule I agree. But you want them to succeed. Some of these moves are coming off the back of half a season of club form and very few senior games across a career. I worry it sets players up for failure when patience, even for a year may serve them better.

It's an interesting question. How many games experience is enough? It has to be north of 50 for mine. The further north the better.

McGree to Bundesliga and Luongo to Serie A I like. I wouldn't mind Luongo to the Championship either.

I'd add Kuol to Denmark.
Volpato to Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands.
Hrustic to the Netherlands.
D'Agostino to Victory!
Peupion to League One, Denmark, Buli 2 etc.
Musa and Alhassan Toure anywhere but France!

Triantis to a better league but that may be better at the end of the year.

Burgess is a tough one too. We can't afford him not playing but he keeps hanging in there at Ipswich. Hard to know whether he's better there or in the Championship, though I doubt he moves in reality.

They should promote Chris Irakoze and give him some exposure. Turns 16 in a few weeks, same age as Haine Eames who is starting and playing full matches for CCM.

Who is that?

Edit: he’s never even played an NPL reserves game, waaaay too early.
