The Harry Kewell Circus

[MrCelery]

At least that's the strong rumour coming from within the Tinkler camp.

Apparently Kewell is also setting up a business with recently retired Michael Bridges.

The history of Scum rumours is littered with falsehoods, but most since Tinkler took over seem to eventuate.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Harry has been one of my Favorite Aussie players for as long as I have followed football!! For him to play for the Jests would not be a good thing

 

[bloggo]

Isn't Culina the Australian marquee? Or can you use both spots for aussies

 

[midfielder]

Fark me ... what a signing .... if true..

 

[scottmac]

Kewell will be 35 by the time this eventuates and heading to a league that is more physical than not. My prediction is he will see less A-League game time than my blind dog. Wouldn't even be surprised if he joins them injured.

He will put many bums on seats though and would welcome his signature at the Mariners for that reason alone

Ok so now I've said that, what does he plan to do for the next year? Seems a bit strange to be planning your team for 18 months down the track when you don't know what your doing or where you're going now.

surely they cant fit culina and kewell? only one can be the australian marquee.

The international marquee can also be Australian.

Bridges and Tinkler add a little credibility to the rumour - but apart from that it seems a strange move.

Harry Kewell is a class act & a top class person.

Although I would be saddened by him playing for the Jet`s, I think the A-League would really benefit by him coming home.

I could just imagine Culina`s face when he heard the news...lmao

On top of that it would fantastic to have him commentating on games in the future. (Stand aside Fossie)

There was talk awhile ago of Harry being involved with the Western Sydney bid. He grew up in that area....

But then there was also talk that he was shopping for a house on the Northern Beaches and his wife was hitting up Home & Away for a job.

Harry to the jest? Please.

If he comes it will be to be with GA surely??

Melbourne or Sydney. Can't see him going anywhere else.

Spotted at Jets training tonight. Mr H Kewell.

Unofficial confirmation that H. Kewell has put pen to paper with Victory. Source is on the MV forum from a poster that was correct about their major sponsor for next season. Grain of salt etc.

Not like you to take the piss Celery. Kewell is on Holiday with Family in Portugal. Would be very unlikely to fly away from Holiday to witness a training run wouldn't you think.

No confirmation as yet

MV CEO is basically saying they dont have as much upfront cash as the scum but there are far more incentives to play in Melbourne, i.e. % of gate takings, memberships, media profile. The question is whether HK can be arsed playing for an incentive deal at this stage in his career. Maybe so, and good luck to him, it should see a good return on their money as far as MV are concerned. It may all just be a bit of media profiling raising to boost Victory membership sales.

The sceptic in me would suggest that if he wants to come to the HAL, then he'd want to ensure that he is in a no lose situation, hence take the Jets offer, rumoured to be 2mill / season. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

 

[pjennings]

My take is that if Harry comes to the HAL it will be to Adelaide of the Mariners. They seem to be the only ones not rumoured to be signing him and are also the two clubs that don't seem to negotiate thru the press.

Adelaide it is then

I like that reasoning. Mariners have even said it's not us... so it must be us!

HK has told press he's in Portugal, but was seen in Sydney yesterday. There's happenings afoot.
