Pierias wasn't given an option because we didn't give him any game time anyway prior to deciding to go to WU. I don't blame him at all for making the move, but nor am I blaming our club. Time will tell if the right choice was made. 

As I have said we could have loaned him out to an Asian club to develop, keep him on our books and cast a larger net to see which kids look likely to have a future with the first team. Instead he wasn't given any game time and has signed for the opposition.

Wales is crap, and is just keeping an possible future star off the pitch and potentially Najjarine will move on to another club if he doesn't get minutes which will be a huge opportunity lost IMO.

Regardless of my views on Wales I hope he scores 5 on Sunday just to prove that I am wrong.

 

But he doesn’t keep a potential future of the pitch, we need 2 wingers.

Your woeful Frenchman is the problem not  these two kids.

I’d have liked to see Najjarine and Wales both start out wide against CCM last Friday night. 

Harrison was very good though. I’m just glad Najjarine got some minutes.

CCM are preparing a loan bid for Najjarine by twitter reports

One of the best players on the pitch the last 2 games he played. I agree though he needs to be central.

Sad if he goes.

 

BTW WSW are culling,

The Western Sydney Wanderers have begun their rebuild in brutal fashion with the simultaneous departures of 11 players - including their two top scorers.

International stars Oriol Riera and Alex Baumjohann as well as midfielder Roly Bonevacia headline the extensive exit list as the Wanderers seek to reshape their squad following a torrid first season under Markus Babbel.

Also headed for new pastures are: Josh Risdon, Raul Llorente, Jaushua Sotirio, Abraham Majok, Marc Tokich, Rashid Mahazi, John Roberts and Giancarlo Gallifuoco.

Riera departs the club having scored 29 goals in 56 appearances across two seasons after joining from Osasuna. He was named the Wanderers’ A-League Player of the Year in 2018.

Socceroo Risdon has already been confirmed as a signing for new franchise Western Melbourne, while it’s unclear whether German star Baumjohann will remain in Australia, with a move to Asia also thought to be a possibility.

The departing group also features a number of academy graduates.

It’s unclear who will come in to replace the huge number of departees, with Newcastle Jets defender Daniel Georgievski already confirmed as the first arrival for the new season this morning.

Babbel appears ready to piece together a squad of his own.

I'd take Baumjohann... but might be too creative for Joyce

I hope we're not going to act on anything - arrival or departure - until our season is over and the future of Joyce is decided by CFG.

Unless it's overseen by a director of football. In a well run coherent club that would be perfectly fine

If word is true that Janjetovic is coming to us then say goodbye to next season ...clumsier than 2017/18 Bouzanis

If he comes and Delianov leaves then there would some serious explaining to do.

With Petrillo still there I'm sure that there will be at least one recruiting absolute fuck-up this off-season.

He's shit. Outright shit. Why? Because he's no better than Australian wingers. Wales has outperformed him over the course of the season. Trash. Get rid of him.

Can't hear you.

Exactly the same as Kamau, you know, the player you said might have been good enough for the Spanish league.

Credit to Wazza though, because at least he plays Wales in a limited capacity after identifying he is shit after starting him earlier on in the season.

If  we had a decent striker from the start of the season and McLaren stopped picking his arse and got into good positions Florin would have many assists and be our best player by far.

We will see what happens in these finals.

The cream always rises to the top, let's just see who stands out on Sunday.

You're wrong. Recheck what my intended point was about Kamau. 

Where was your star visa player from round 1-25??

If you can read many of my previous posts I pointed out that he was a mistake signing, however he destroys Wales in every respect and from memory he owned that left side against the Reds last match and destroyed Marrone.

As I said, the cream rises to the top, let's just see how he plays on Sunday when it's matters the most.

To be fair, in most of your posts it actually came across that Florin is the best thing ever happened to Melbourne City. He just is played 20m to the left hence not he is not playing us to Victory. I'm glad that now we can all agree, he is no asset to the club and team for a visa player.

I do appreciate that you always seem to have lots of patience with players like Koren, Budzinski and now Florin - where many of us quickly to doom them!

Ok, so if floating shit is awesome then tell Jovan that he paid Florin a compliment.

Good shit floats and cream rises to the top.

Same same.

No, this is where you are a little confused. I basically said Florin has been shit. 

Now I will conceed his last month has been less shit even borderline quality but overall his level and performances this season is shit. 

I don't think in anyway that can be interpreted as a complement even if you used your warped logic.

I wish the club would just stack the starting XI with big players and the depth is just slotted in with youth lads

[Deluka]

Kye Rowles has signed on at CCM until 2021 which puts to bed rumours he’s coming to us, unless of course we were to take him on loan.

Why not? That's exactly what Sydney and victory have done and they have been pretty successful. Its been shown that there is no point have 18 or 19 players who can step in and having an even squad. May as well have 13 or 14 taking up 90% of cap and fill the rest with kids who can develop

Stop it your making to much sense. If they did that our youth might stay....Metcalfe Najjarime etc.

With Western United coming into the League this was always going to happen. It wouldn't be possible to have all eight coming on to senior contracts with City - just not enough room.

So if you had 22 senior contracted players 8 of which were so called youth then having 14 senior players is not enough??

Plus they all play on different positions pretty much - why couldn't these youth players be on a senior contract in the 22 squad and act as back up.

There would only be not enough room if most of your non starting players are on decent money, this is where is goes wrong with us - players like Griffiths, Vidosic, La Rocca, Birigitti etc....
