belaguttman Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 They are probably equivalent although Jakobsen has better discipline. The big question though is how would Gulum go as a midfielder as Wazza is just as likely to play him there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTinator Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Melbourne City’s centre back Michael Jakobsen could be on his way to Adelaide United in an unofficial swap deal for Reds stopper Ersan Gulum Val Migliaccio, Soccer Writer, The Advertiser March 23, 2018 9:50am MELBOURNE City’s centre back and captain Michael Jakobsen could be on his way to Adelaide United in an unofficial swap deal as Australia’s richest football club in all codes (WTF Migliaccio ! ) looks to pick up Reds stopper Ersan Gulum for the new season. Both stoppers are at the end of their A-League club deals in June. Jakobsen’s pending move west isn’t the only one on the cards with the futures of other wanted Reds players Jordan O’Doherty and Jordan Elsey seemingly at the mercy of their agents. Adelaide’s Turkish international centre back Gulum, 30, earlier this month talked to United officials about returning to his home town Melbourne and retiring from playing but it appears that plan will be put on hold. The birth of Gulum’s first child in Melbourne this year after his wife Emel returned to their home state is life changing after Adelaide landed the lauded centre back in a 12-month loan deal from Hebei China Fortune in 2017. Gulum commutes regularly to Melbourne when he has enough time off from United duties. Gulum’s contract ends with the Chinese club at the end of the year with Jacobsen — a 32-year-old left-footed Danish stopper now on the Reds radar. It’s understood talks are gathering momentum for the left-footed stoppers to trade places. Jakobsen is also well known to another Dane, Adelaide’s Johan Absalonsen. The pair featured in a Danish international friendly — a 3-1 win over Poland in 2010. Absalonsen has been tabled a new United deal but exclusively told The Advertiser he still needs to weigh up his future options with his family before deciding if he wants to continue with Adelaide. Elsey, 24, had been offered a new Adelaide deal but it’s understood his agent is shopping the stopper to a struggling Dutch first division club which did show interest before its former coach stepped down from his post this month. It’s understood Western Sydney has put in an official request to Adelaide to speak to O’Doherty, 20, after Brisbane Roar showed interest but have not yet made a formal inquiry for the midfielder. O’Doherty rejected a two-year Adelaide United contract during the 2017 preseason. It’s believed the Reds did come back with another offer during the season. The second offer was not as lucrative but according to sources better than Wanderers terms. Adelaide officials preferred not to comment. One player agent is yet to return calls with regards to his client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerine Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Will be disappointed if Fitzy goes. Definitely a poor season, but his work rate has always been high. Could come back stronger next year. One of the few players to have been here more than 1 season and if he leaves it will add to my sense that City just churn through players without forming a squad fans can identify with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he's a goal away from turning his form around and regaining some much needed confidence, but he has to earn the shot at that too. He's been horribly out of form since R3 really.
