  1. Personally I can't see Mooy breaking into the Man City XI under pep. The fact that no transfer figure has been announced also has me worried, I know it seems strange, and would literally be transferring funds from one of CFG's bank accounts to another. I'd be interested in the specifics on the deal's futures ie if Mooy is sold to another club, how much gets kicked back to us. To me it still feels like we are getting little out of this deal, so hoping there are some big (not Cahill) marquee announcements coming up.
  2. Sydney have announced that Gameiro has been released.
  3. I hope that any further expansion only takes place in Australia. For me having Wellington in the league makes no sense at all, and I would prefer that the FFA drops them within the next couple of years to allow for a Canberra or Wollongong team. A second team for brisbane makes sense, but I'd think Perth and Adelaide need a little longer before bringing in second teams. If a third team is introduced into Melbourne, then it has to be regionally specific, such as Eastern or Western melbourne.
  4. The only way that Marino will be better than Babalj is if we get to sell him three times.
  5. I think the purpose for most people on this thread is for it to be a cathartic release, get rid of some of that tensions thats built from city playing really really shit football. Except for Tesla, this thread is pretty genuine for him.
  6. best part of the derby was the split level chants, was great to watch, and in future games when more ppl get into it it'll be great. HSV have one like this, from 2.25 in the clip below. Would also be great, but need to in the two bays involved. Also for what it's worth, I think that we should focus on chants with minimal lyrics involved, i've downloaded the melburnians app, but it's difficult to know the tune's, and some just aren't good. I know you guys are putting together some stuff for youtube to help put with that, here's an example from my team in Germany, this video helped me out a fair bit as mien Deutsch war bedauerlich. Coincidently I used to always love the chant beginning at 2.15.
  7. It's fair too early to call for JVS to be sacked, but this thread provides ample opportunities for that over the course of the season. My main concern about JVS tactics is that a lot of people seem to imply that having heaps of possession = attacking football. Having watched JVS in his 1st and 2nd stints, his teams generally win the battle of possession, but we still generate a remarkably low amount of clear opportunities to score. Transition from defence to attack was too slow against Newcastle, they were determined to defend, but when we did win the ball from them, we passed it back to redders, or allowed Robbie or Paddy to slowly bring the ball back up. That may be a fine tactic when you're Barcelona, but no one (maybe Koren) can really unlock a defence through their passing.
  8. What really concerns me is how much the club knew about this. From what they're saying, they knew that Villa would be leaving after a couple of weeks to return to NYC, and then "potentially" coming back. The biggest problem is that if they did know this, then why do we not have another fucking striker????? Even with Villa, we haven't looked like scoring goals in the first two games...without him our forward movement is reduced to Kisnorbo and Wielaert passing the ball to each other. With Koren injured (Ok I probably can't blame the club for that) I really wonder where the goals will come from.
  9. Not sure if this one's popped up already, not gonna log through 22 pages to check. http://www.archdaily.com/491449/chinquihue-stadium-cristian-fernandez-arquitectos/53320afdc07a80cb6b000043_chinquihue-stadium-cristian-fernandez-arquitectos_estadio_chinquigue_-86-jpg/
  10. Super excited for this weekend. Just returned from living overseas, and this will be my second game in three years, finally get to use my membership. Hoping for a big crowd and big win for our first home game.
  11. I can see us struggling over the first 4-5 games, I don't think we've ever really started a season well. May take time for tactics and new players to settle.
  12. Played one good game for Heart in a scoreless draw. Get over it.
  13. A lot of clubs in the a-league and around the world could benefit from been bought out by Barcelona, but just because it's a nice idea doesn't mean Adelaide United should starting sending FCB time share brochures.
  14. I'd like for the club to very quickly finish off the roster and sort out the final players. I'm pretty sure that we still have around 3-4 spots left. I'm not entirely convinced by the squad that we have right not, but I do feel that with a couple of solid signings we would be looking good. I like our midfield, Mooy, Koren and Mass. If possible I'd replace Mass with another DM, but I think that more importantly the club needs to sort out it's issues at RB & LB. I'm getting sick of the club constantly trying players there, who are playing out of position. It's just not good enough that for 4 years, that we've not once had a genuine fullback.
  15. Classic heart/city, toil for majority of game, get in front, give up lead. Our tradition continues!
