A League Rumor Mill

-Former Socceroo midfielder Josip Skoko may be returning to the A-League as soon as this season. With Wigan facing relegation and Skoko not playing regular first team football, he may be tempted to return to Australia sooner rather than later. The Central Coast Mariners appear favourites to sign him, with a marquee spot available. His homestate of South Australia is another possibilty, but he would unlikely fit under the salary cap.

-Perth Glory have offered FC Luzern $225,000 for Slovenian International defender Fabijan Cipot.Perth coach Dave Mitchell has been given 400,000 to attract players to the struggling club.

-Melbourne have completed the prize signing of Stuart Musialik. The player is to pen a deal a 2 year deal worth AU$490,000 a season. (cant wait for this one to come true cause those cunts at 442 are going to get a slap from the GSE)

-Former Australian captain Mark Viduka is tipped to leave Newcastle in the summer transfer window. Manchester City said to bid 2-3 million pounds the Aussie. There is also interest from former club Middlesbrough. (I got a feeling this wont happen. Dukes will get fit for the last five games score ten goals, save Newcastle from relegation and then get a new contract for 100k quid a week. And then be injurred/rancid until the next round of negotiations)

-Felipe Campos to move from Wellington to Perth Glory. Felipe is surplus to requirements at Wellington and Perth has expressed interest in bringing the talented attacker accross the Tasman.

-Newcastle Jets are rumored to be looking to extend their Asian connection with South Korean international Kim Eun Jung in negotiations to join countryman Song Jin Hyung.
