Weekend Wrap (and how to stay updated)

June 7th, 2008 by Eric · 3 Comments

My apologies for the lack of posting lately. It is off-season though.

Here’s some news items you may have missed during the week:

  • Kaz Patafta: Released by Benfica, under-utilised by the Melbourne Victory, young Kaz runs to the wide open arms of Gary Van Egmond.
  • Mark Byrnes: The former Victory player has signed a short-term deal with Apia Leichardt in the NSW Premier League. He’s hoping to make his way back into the A-League.
  • A-League expansion: There are plenty of people jostling for a piece of the pie, with no less than three Melbourne teams hoping to become the second Melbourne club. Meanwhile, billionaire Clive Palmer has thwarted the Gold Coast Galaxy franchise, wooing the FFA with his own - more lucrative - club, Gold Coast United, which he hopes will become the new Bling FC.
  • Carlos Hernández: The injury he picked up against Juventus has forced him to forego a spot in the Costa Rican World Cup qualifying squad.

For all the latest news, you can follow two other feeds I’m updating simultaneously throughout the week. If you’re on Twitter, follow my profile. Otherwise, this page is updating regularly and has an RSS feed.

    I think the deal is as good as done but they can’t make an official anouncment until Keenan signs for a new club due to the 4 foreigner rule.
