Fair enough but as @Jovan said, that is if he plays. I suspect the way the club has been pumping him up, he will be back soon. Its not like the club has a habit of misleading people on player statuses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haz Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I was happy with our depth, but getting a little thinner now. Even more so I would think Kamau would have been on atleast $100K. Is this a last ditch attempt by the club to keep Ross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 We are on the bare minimum of 20 players already. If we let anyone else go this season we have to replace them. Not necessarily from outside of course, we could sign more of our young players to senior contracts. The contracts of both players expire on 31st May 2018. I wouldn't be worried about Kamau leaving at all. IMO grossly overrated player. Tongyik more of a loss, but he's probably not the sort of gritty defender that the club wants going forward.

Main reason he's barely played the last month is the olyroos, during which time it's allowed us to shift our winger focus on to Fitzgerald (who hasn't been any better than Kamau this season). All that said, a few players with contracts expiring have to start stepping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Left all Swedish - near Melbourne FC Daniel Kristoffersson published 7 Feb 2018 at 11.43 Omar Eddahri appears to have found a new club. According to SportExpressen, the 27-year-old striker only details from a transition to Melbourne FC in Australia. The parties must agree on a short-term contract - and the player is expected to complete the mandatory medical examination within the next few days. Omar Eddahri confirmed this autumn that he would leave AFC Eskilstuna after leaving the club from all over Sweden. "We have had four lovely years together but after the season we will go separate ways but we will do it with love. It's mutual and we love each other but after the season, the story is over, he said in September. Omar Eddhari to Melbourne Since then, rumors have been many around the 27-year-old striker and he has been linked with both Swedish-speaking clubs and clubs outside Scandinavia. According to SportExpressen, it is now unexpectedly a move for Eddahri, as he is close to a contract with Melbourne FC in Australia. The parties should be verbally agreed on a shorter contract season out. If everything goes as planned, the player flies down to do the medical examination within the next week, thus strengthening Melbourne's offensive. Belong to City group The Australian club belongs to City Footballgroup, including Manchester City, New York City FC, Girona FC, Club Atletico Torque and Yokohama Marinos. The club plays in the A-League and is trained by manager Warre Joyce. The team is playing their home matches at AAMI Park with a seat of 30,050 spectators. Team mate with Scott Jamieson In Melbourne, Eddahri becomes team-mate with the former leftback of IFK Gothenburg, Scott Jamieson, who left Blåvitt for Australia just before. Omar Eddahri scored eight goals and two performances of 25 total Swedish matches last year. He left Sollentuna in 2014 to sign for AFC Eskilstuna where there were four seasons in total. https://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/allsvenskan/lamnade-allsvenskan-gor-ovantat-klubbval/ [Google translated] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Bouzanis Atkinson - Schenkeveld - Jakobsen - Jamieson Brattan - Malik Budzinski/Vidosic Arzani - Bruno - Eddahri Galekovic, Budzinski/Vidosic, Mauk, Fitzgerald, Delbridge, Kamau Najaarine, Pierias, Tongyik, Cavallo, Metcalfe, Genreau, Delianov Pretty bloody strong.

n i k o Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Seems to be able to pick out a pass, has good evasive skills, decent take on ability and seems to be fairly quick. His shot on goal is okay however if he's played as a winger then this isn't so bad. Overall appears to be an ok signing for a visa player.

Jovan Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Sounds promising. Hopefully he hits the ground running like Novillo did. My only concern is coming from Europe he is going to take a while to acclimatize to the hard pitches. But tbh its better than nothing and not using a visa spot "is criminal". And it's really the only position we have looked a little underwhelming with Fitzy and Kamau down in form. Quietly optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Given he's been a free agent for 2 months and is coming from a very cold Swedish winter to our summer, I'm a little worried but will reserve judgement. Sweden doesn't exactly have a trend setting league, but Eddahri sounds like A key player at his last club. Plus CFG tends to get its signings a lot more correct / on the money than wrong Edited February 8, 2018 by mattyh001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 For what it's worth, Expressen is one of the two biggest newspapers in Sweden. On Omar Eddahri, he played in the Allsvenskan--Sweden's 1st division--last season and over 25 games he got 8 goals.

jw1739 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 If Omar is coming at all, I see it as something of a Novillo situation - contract until the end of the season with a view to perhaps continuing next season. The contracts of both Fitzgerald and Kamau expire on 31st May, and I can see one or both leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see there's just a single source saying that Omar is coming to us - the one Murfy quoted. Given that we were fairly strongly linked to both Ferreira and Bozanic only a few weeks ago, I wouldn't be holding my breath over Omar. Would there be the same sort of visa issues that Budzinski faced? - his arrival was apparently delayed some weeks.
