Sydney FC to get marquee this week says Branko Culina

Branko Culina says, "The A-League needs a successful Sydney FC."

Talking to our local A-League Club Coach today. Well it's true, if sad. But that may well soon change if my earlier post today comes to fruition.



Banko Culina says, "I expect Sydney will get a marquee player this week."



John Aloisi?



Branko laughed as the Sydney FC coach cruised into Canberra.



"Everyone thinks we should sign a forward. An attacking midfielder might be a better option. Also money influences what you can get."



Branko talks Sydney FC, player signings, John Aloisi, FFA hindering the club, Olyroos and his views on the coming season.



Full interview Monday after the Central Coast game which is being played in Canberra on Sunday.

Sydney FC Persik Kediri.: My prediction

A crucial games for Sydney FC against Persik Kediriat at Parramatta Stadium, Sydney in the Asian Champions League tonight.

Both teams must win to keep their hopes of qualification alive.

New coach Branko Culina's side will miss David Carney and Ruben Zadkovich through suspension. Robbie Middleby and Mark Milligan should be fit to play.

Sydney are expected to win but a small squad with a couple of key players missing may test Culina's men.

The weather should help. Rain, rain and more rain means Sydney FC can play Culina's uptempo possesion game. This may be the deciding factor over the ninety minutes.

My prediction: Sydney by two.

What do you think?
