Generally it works as an agreement between the old club, the new club and the player. So for an example Malik is happy to mutually terminate his contract with City, subject to (for arguments sake) Adelaide offering him a deal which he is happy with. Generally that means the same wage, but that could also be negotiated my Malik and his manager. The negotiation between City and Adelaide, if any, might be if Adelaide think he's too dear then City may agree to pay some of his wage to get the rest of it off of their books etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was an Australian club then mutual termination is the only way the deal gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be saving a few $ on Malik which we will add to what we have in the war chest as a result of the other releases. Just a guess that Malik will go to Western Sydney.

Only change I would have is probable Florin for Wales. Wales running at tired defenders at the end of a game would be ideal imo. It also fits into how you would structure McGree and Brattan. I counted 3 shots at goal (2 saved and 1 crossbar) for Florin in 60 minutes the other night. Add this to Brattan (who is doing really well as a #10 that has the extra benefit of scoring from outside the box) and McGree who is quite similar (when he gets on his left). All of a sudden you have 4 players in the attacking third who are not afraid to shoot. Sounds good in theory anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s always had the skills to be an influential player but he needs to be given a free role where he can roam. Deserves a goal or two.

Harrison Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Very happy with this. Selling OM and changing our system to accommodate a striker with one of the best goalscoring ratios in the league's history is a very good decision. Hopefully we can release BF soon too. Having him around the club can't be good for player morale. But giving the supporters a new player to get behind, and a Socceroo, is exactly what we all need.

n i k o Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 MacLaren would be a fantastic signing. Just missing a quality winger now. Really hope with improved fitness that Florin can be that player. At this stage I think between him and Lachie it's neck and neck but as he gets more game time his quality comes through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a central midfielder playmaker, therefore should be played there and not on the wing. He gets rotated through the centre and plays his best there and then loses his way when he gets shifted to the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever City Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Would also want a foreign winger but, with Jmac under the cap and Bruno not leaving anytime soon I can't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been very dangerous in the past two games especially when you consider he only played for roughly the equivalent of one full game and the chances he's created in that time.
