elieanid Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Stupid question which I wanted to ask. If we sign Lampard....would that mean our quota would have been meet International stars allowed on our team or are we allowed to sign one more player considering we would have had 3 players on Visas: Duff, Villa & Lampard (most likely)? Isnt there a rule regarding 3 International players max for any A League team? Edited July 1, 2014 by elieanid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluka Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 You're allowed 5 excluding guest players. 1. Germano 2. Duff 3. Lampard 4. Wielaert 5. GP: Villa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderz Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 From the news story here http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8868088 There are still five holes in City's squad, including places for an international marquee, an Australian marquee and another international under the salary cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewmelbcity Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Therefore villa, duff, wiellart, germano are four of the five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elieanid Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 thanks everyone! wanted to make sure in convincing a mate of mine who believed that as a club we might of been breaking the rules, I knew we still had at least another International spot to be filled (if Lampard signs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXJawsaXx Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Marquee counts. Speaking of International Quota, it drops to 4 for the 15/16 season. Edited July 1, 2014 by xXJawsaXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Marquee counts. Speaking of International Quota, it drops to 4 for the 15/16 season. 3 (Total International) + 1 (Asian Player) if i'm not mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderz Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Therefore villa, duff, wiellart, germano are four of the five Ok, so am a bit confused. So do we only have an Australian marquee and an international marquee left then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that it doesn't Marquee counts as one of the five spots. The only way an international player won't count will be if they are a guest player (i.e. Villa).

InMyHeart Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 How fucking hard is it to understand, when someone answers it maybe learn you have 5 visa spots 1, Germano 2, Wiealart 3, Duff 4, 5, and the guest stint is excluded from the 5 visas (being villa) This means with these 2 free visa spots 1 can be the international marquee.
