Preston have already recruited well this window with Luke Francis the NPL QLD top scorer from last season and Ryan Scott the best keeper outside of the A-League along with Lopez.

Meanwhile, we are in a relegation battle and have only announced Nagamatsu. The club should have been planning for this window when we were going through the 12 week winless streak.

Where’s the planning? Where’s the ambition?

Super frustrating from a members perspective in which is supposed to be one of the most exciting years in the club’s recent history.

We have signed players but we might have to wait for. After June 30th

Why is that?

 

[KostaV92]

Why is that?

A league contracts run out that’s why we haven’t announced Menelaou and we have or just about to sign a defender from Sydney

It hasn’t stopped other clubs announcing A-League players coming out of contract at the end of the month though

Maybe we are just slow with the announcements

 

[Spartan Warrior]

Maybe we gonna trial a live announcement tomorrow night just before kick off when reading out the team sheet....

 

[southmelb]

Apparently a defender from Sydney and a "surprise signing" as well that we didnt expect to come through. Rumour is its still 5-6 players in total.

We lose tomorrow and we are in a spot of bother regardless.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Could fornaroli be the surprise signing maybe?

The rumours will be flying thick and fast tonight.. I hope I can concentrate on the football on the pitch at the same time

Mells back at Port

Just like the AGM

 

[smfc_hellas59]

The only new signing that will be lining up tonight will be Nagamatsu

 

[Hellenic_blue&white]

If nothing else they are working the anticipation levels to the max... lets hope those levels dont quickly revert to dissapointment!

 

[southmelb]

Im more nervous about tonight than our nsl grand finals lol. Cant fkn believe we are in this position.

 

[Hellenic_blue&white]

Forget $5k a week on fornaroli... id be splitting that cash between Mikkola and Lopez to make sure they never leave us!

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

2-1 win for South Melbourne over Hume City at home today, our sixth win of the season.

 

[Oakleigh]

Nice goal after the hume penalty score, i thought they'd collapse after that but it wasnt to be.

 

[southmelb]

We've beaten 2 teams in the top 6 the past 3 weeks, could very well have been 3 from 3 if we werent depleted last week. If only we dumped Esteban earlier!

Super impressive debut from Nagamatsu up front, his touch and movement was sublime, deserved goal, shame he couldnt ice the game at the end. Now to see who bring in next week, i feel like a couple of more attacking editions can take us to another level. Menelaou can officially sign this week.

Hopefully knights can knock off mv on Monday, if they do the finish line is very close.
