Preview of the A-league season: Part 2

There are two weeks left until the start of the 2009/2010 A-league season and here's the second part of my season preview.

Adelaide Untied

Major signing- Lloyd Owusu has spent all of his career playing in the lower leagues of English football and also made two appearances for the Ghana national team. If successful he could be the biggest thing from Slough since the office.

Major loss- Big and powerful centre-back Sasa Ognenovski has moved to play in the K-league with Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma.

Star player- Travis Dodd, last season was Dodd's most productive in front of goal scoring seven times. This season is set to become the first player to play one hundred A-league games for Adelaide.

Strengths- Strong left side of the team and up front. Good goalkeeping depth.

Weakness- Lack of forward depth, lack of depth for the center back position.

Predication- 6th

Major signing- Karol Kisel has previously played for various clubs in the Czech Republic league and between 2002 and 2007 made 25 appearances for the Slovakia national team.

Major loss- Iain Fyfe, Sydney's A-league games record holder has moved to A-league rivals Adelaide.

Star player. National team hero John Aloisi only scored two goals for Sydney in his first season with them, Sydney fans will be hoping he more productive this season in front of goal.

Weakness. Lack of depth in the center-back position. Full backs lack A-league experience.

Predication- 4th
