Of all the young players to have come through at Adelaide in recent seasons, he’s definitely one of the most overrated. You wouldn’t want him starting every week.

No. I hope he's the Monge replacement. I'd expect us to bring in another centre mid to start.

Excellent news. I think he'll be starting left back.

Just more recycled players huh. There has to be better kids coming through.

I don't mind giving returning youngsters another go. It worked out with Teague. We do need more midfield depth for rotations. We barely used mids off the bench last season. I think that was a lack of quality depth rather than a decision.
 
So Bruno, Teague, Bos and Arzani gone.

Still no word on Miranda whose contract was up last week.

In D'Arigo and Lino.

A bit of work to do.

I was just coming to post this. I reckon he'll be good.

Also saw MV announce Miranda and Traore have signed on confirming what @HappyGuus has said.

I hear Hammil will leave.

I think biggest holes are CM with Teagues departure. CF remains questionable. CB back-up also needed.

Hamill is contracted for another year, but he's done his ACL so won't be playing regardless. Either way, he will need a replacement.
 
So this is a more complete list of comings and goings so far.

OUT: Fornaroli, Langerak, Arzani, Bos, Teague, Monge, Menelaou, Sciliano.

INJ: Hamill ( ACL - Season)

IN: Lino, Jelacic, D'Arrigo

RE-SIGNED: Miranda, Traore.

There's a lot of work to do on the list.

On paper looks a much weaker team after the departures of Bos, Arzani, Langarak, Fornaroli, Teague et al. It’s a shame it’s not a full strength team, would be nice to show an A-League team can beat a Championship team, albeit a newly promoted one.

Alot of those names are ex NPL squad though.... Im sure this will change by seasons kickoff.
