2024/25 Melbourne Victory Thread - Goodbye Kisnorbo We hardly Knew Ya

The most obvious clue to all that there was a transfer fee involved is the simple fact that the club didn't agree a simple termination of Geria's contract.

That's what happens when clubs agree to let a player leave for free. We did this with the likes of DobrasThey terminate their contract and part ways, mutually.

Here's an annoucement for Timetheou for example





There is no logical reason to organise a player transfer between two clubs when there's no money at all changing hands.

If glory can afford players we can ffs




Or will we end up with Broxham as a short term emergency signing?

Yeah, a guy that we released cos he sucked, and who moved to play for Gungahlin United in Canberra proves your point

I'd love to know why you're so determined to prove yourself a pillock to everyone and argue with everyone to defend information that you're making up.

Edit: Interestingly, when you look at Timotheou on transfrmarket, it shows a question mark for his move from Gungahlin United to Sydney Olympic.

With all the assumptions you've made you're trying to tell us that Sydney Olympic paid a transfer fee for a guy playing in Canberra?

There's nothing to misinterpret.


Transfermrkt lists incoming free transfers to Albrex Niigata. I will once again post here

View attachment 2204930

Once again, free transfers to Albrex Niigata are clearly listed in the transfermrkt summary.


Hayato Inamuira & Keisuke Kasai - both listed as free transfers

Jason Geria - listed as transfer fee unknown. Not listed as a free transfer.



Transfermrkt is generally pretty reliable for this stuff, although there's no absolute guarantee here on transfer data they publish.




Either way, the amount we are likely to have gotten anyway (market value is 500k but due to his age a figure of 200k has been bandied about) doesn't compensate us for losing a club great like Geria.

The bit to misinterpret is the question mark meaning we got a transfer fee for Geria when it means they don't know if we got a transfer fee or not. It's not that difficult to understand.

It's really not rocket science. We haven't terminated Geria's contract. We agreed a transfer. Transfermrkt also specifically lists which players A.Niigata have joined on a free transfer which is in the post you just quoted.

When we let players go for free, we terminate their contract and say off you go.
