Welcome Western Sydney Wanderers

-
After months of waiting and curious thought the FFA have launched the much anticipated Western Sydney A-League franchise.

The Wanderers will sport the name of the first football club of the area and a traditional red and black hooped shirt.

Parramatta Stadium will become the home ground of the club and their first three signings Aaron Mooy, Tarek Elrich and Kwabena Appiah-Kubi.

How will Western Sydney's people respond?

Emerton, Culina, Ono, Del Piero, Heskey, Beckham? In the A-League? Just a few months ago you would have laughed at the proposition, but football changes each week, so a few months is more than enough time for even the most impossible hypotheticals to precipitate into an even more inconceivable reality. Central Coast don't have the funds so Beckham is out of the question unless he buys the club with his spare change and signs himself.

Yes, Ange Postecoglou has said NO to David Beckham. Western Sydney have stretched the FFA's budget as it is so Posh Spice won't be taking the train though Parramatta any-time...
