The Melbourne City Thread

He wasn't a foundation player as far as I can tell. Signed in June 2011.

Last foundation player to leave was Hoffman.

We're now down to 3 Heart players though:

• Patrick Kisnorbo
• Ben Garuccio
• Stefan Mauk

Retre was Heart as well, albeit as a youth team player at the time.

still got the foundation coach!

Koren out!

Theoretically, we can bring in 2 players from anywhere, with any budget. Troisi and a Kaka/Lampaard/Gerrard/Pirlo?

 

[pantskyle]

Koren is an expected out.

Will be interesting to see who we bring in.

 

[Joker91]

We must have something cooked up if we are going to pay him out 400k ... We can sign another marquee now is that right?

yes, and a 14 game guest if we want - which would be able to play ever game until the GF pretty much from next week I believe.

I wonder if we would look at Vidic, wouldn't mind another CB and we are well stacked in the midfield and up front.

Brattan from Man City and Kaka would be awesome.

The City fan in me wants Vidic because he's awesome and I love him but the United fan in me says that he should never ever be associated with the CFG.

I would love to see a bit of Ronaldinho's magic in the A-League

He hasn't had magic in years and wouldn't improve City at all.

Unfortunately this is true. Kaka however...

Your probably right, I'm a bit nostalgic. Lampard through CFG?

Doubt it, he's playing in USA.

Isn't it there offseason at the moment? I figured a loan until the end of our season to replace Koren

Season starts in Feb I believe.

Well that throws a spanner in my grand plan

Time to break out a beer!

 

[Punt Road Feral]

A 400k payout mid season suggests he's on around 800k-1mil.

That's disgusting money for a very average footballer.

 

[_DBF_]

Malik for Mauk apparently .

Not really, it was a risk worth taking, he was still doing ok at Hull when we signed him, just didn't bring that form to us for the most part.

I'm glad he came to us and sad it didn't work out for him, we are now however in a good spot to bring someone good in and a guest player and really take a shot at getting our first bloody title!

 

[Joker91]

Malik for Mauk apparently .

Yep. Pretty much confirmed.

Hopefully we still get another marquee ...

 

[_DBF_]

Could sign Malik as an injury replacement for Chapman, allowing us a further signing.

 

[pantskyle]

Bit of a win/win.

 

[Smokin]

like it, defense is what is gonna separate us from winning the title or not I reckon.

Unless of court we bring in 2 players with a massive impact, and we win 6-4 each week!
