Source have indicated that Scott Chipperfield may make his way to Melbourne Victory before the new season to strengthen their backline.

Additionally, Bangkok news reports have stated that impressive Brazilian striker Ney Farbiano (who scored the first goal against Victory in their 3-1 Champions League defeat in Bangkok) will leave Chonburi FC after their next CL tie against Gamba Osaka and come to Australia. Melbourne Victory are the most likely candidate for this move, as they have had first-hand experience with Ney Farbiano.

FourFourTwo Belief Factor: 6/10 - This rumour's the talk of Melbourne today - and while Chippers hasn't had much game time in Switzerland, it would mean Archie would have to forego being marquee. It's possible of course - but we just have our doubts. We thought he'd leave it a year or two yet. Fabiano could be more probable though.
