No "inside source" just a guess. 35 and injury prone so perfect. They are waiting to see that he gets an injury in the Euros. If that makes him unavailable for the first half of the season then he's a dead cert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strider Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I don't get it. So we have Bruno as marquee, (possibly) Tim as marquee and another marquee coming? The fuck? 3? Do I need my prostate examined? No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LIBBA] Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've been hearing that the FFA might be looking at a possible 3rd marquee spot. Its more of a rule change so the FFA can use us to bring in Cahill IMO As you can imagine, most clubs arent keen on it as it would just help us complete Australian football domination.

Okay then "Commercial incentives" - CFA no longer stands for City Football Academy, its now the Cahill Football Academy As long as he's the 'third marquee' (or extended guest, whatever) I honestly couldn't care. I would've been pretty annoyed if we were signing him as one of the two marquee spots but the way this seems to be going, we're basically getting Cahill as a bonus from a squad sense. In regards to the wage, it's not my money so I'm not too fussed, but I don't think he's worth that much. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We retain Bruno for what he is happy with and get another Quality Marquee then signing Cahill on this new Marquee loan spot then can only be seen as a bonus.

Torn Asunder Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 as a player in comparison to Bruno, he's not worth $3million, but commercially for the club and the league, if he stays fit and contributes well, it will be money well spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haz Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Quote Garuccio set for Reds move Adelaide United are reportedly set to swoop on Melbourne City's promising young left winger Ben Garuccio. News Corp reports that Garuccio, 21, is set to turn in his white and blue shirt for the red of champions Adelaide United. Previously hailing from Adelaide, it would be a homecoming of sorts, after starting his career with former NSL powerhouse Adelaide City. Garuccio, who started his A-League career with Melbourne City, has turned out 45 times for the club, scoring one goal.

belaguttman Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 If City sell Timmy shirts it'll only be because of his good performances whilst wearing it. Hopefully he has more impact both on the field and in attendances/merch than Kewell had. I hope to be proven wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does boost crowds across the league, increase media coverage and improve viewer numbers, it would be worth it to the FFA. 7 hours ago, SHERLOCK said: Buno + Cahill + Marquee + JVS gets me suicidal. lifeline.org.au 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
