Obligatory 'unpopular opinion' intro but I really like it. Initially the all blue looked a bit odd but I've come around. Might even be my favourite in the City era.
Griffiths is no big loss, I'm looking forward to seeing what the likes of Metcalfe and Genreau can do instead of old and overrated A-League journeymen.
I don't know heaps about Luna, but I wish we'd go for someone with a greater pedigree of the ilk of Diego Castro, Ninkovic or Toivonen who all had either profound top flight European league or international experience. Obviously Fornaroli was a big unknown before coming to us and proved to be a huge success, but with our supposedly rich owners backing us I'd love to see us land a big fish just once.
Luna really just doesn't strike me as being marquee quality without first proving himself in the A-League, he played for Veracruz which was by far the absolute shittest team in the Mexican league last season (they won 2 games and were 22 points off the pace of second-last) and hasn't played for any reputable clubs before that.
No worries, if I was at all comfortable with the blue in principle I think I might even agree, it may be the least worst blue kit we've had. It's what the blue represents in terms of fan voice and club heritage which troubles me. I accept it doesn't trouble everyone!!
Cabrera is wearing 8 and Genreau is his old 17. Also, Atkinson is 13, Najjarine is 21, Najjar is 30, Metcalfe 34, Iannucci 37.
At a guess, Galloway 2, Windbichler 5, Brillante 6, Noone 12 and Bouzanis his old 20.
Good interview. He's intelligent, enthusiastic and articulate. I'm getting this sense of anticipation of something special, so hopefully it's all going to come together for us this season.
