But as we've seen by last year's Jan signings, deals these days don't really count for anything Why we would do this when we don't have a new Head Coach/Manager is beyond me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) The only way this is a three year deal is if the club has effectively got him for unders. I reckon he's signed for $80k absolute max, which isnt too bad tbh. At best he's prob one of the best no 2's in the country, and at worst he's shown he's at least competent as a number one. Given the steep rise in the salary cap that's incoming, it's a good bit of business imo Edited January 17, 2017 by bt50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jestr Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 It just proves that the manager under cfg is simply a face for the "club" not there to make tactical and now obviously even personnel decisions. Cheap signing? Yes most likely. Good for business yes sure. Best for the club???? I guess Not that important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Good on him,  before start of season everyone said he was hopeless.  Now I'm not saying he is Buffon but he has definitely improved to be a competent keeper at this level,  he cops way too much criticism at times for a defence that is made out of paper mashe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSeater Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm actually pretty happy with this tbh. At worst he's the best number 2 in the league and at best he's a young goalkeeper with some obvious natural ability who is improving with every game despite his defence's best efforts. I would still prefer Sorensen to be starting, but I am firmly on board the Bouzanis train now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coys Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 As much as I can pick at his faults I just can't dislike him.

You lost the game, mate and now you're a good chance to be facing a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Hope it was worth it. And for those people saying good on him and what a legend...let's see how he responds if this is made public. He'll be humiliated and so he should be. Could the final twenty minutes of that game have been any worse? Leaving aside the goals, how many of our players managed to get themselves suspended for next week with their careless/undisciplined actions? Cahill, Fornaroli, Bouzanis (probably), Fernando...am I missing anyone?  Edited February 4, 2017 by SF33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "brain fade", however, is completely unacceptable from a professional. I'd like to see how most of the people on this forum would go in their workplace if they called someone what Bouzanis is alleged to have called Berisha. Chances are, most of us would be out on our arses. So, if people want to call him a hero from behind their keyboards, go for it. It's not on. And if it gets found out, he'll be pilloried for it and it will likely be the first thing people think of when they hear his name for the rest of his career.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with it but in my honest opinion people will view him as a cult hero for it. But to be honest I suspect players on the pitch say alot worse just like sledging in cricket but this time he was caught out.

Jestr Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Professional, Determined and disciplined competitor after landing a punch to the jaw while the opponent is wavering doesn't turn around and walk off to their corner celebrating. Job is not done. You bloody keep punching until ref blows the final whistle. Instead we allow them 2 goals plus made roar's job easy next weekend what a disgraceful way to crumble to these animals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 You can't fault his passion or endeavour and he has improved out of sight,  in 4 derby this season he has looked like he wants to punch on with berisha,  and I love it But he seems to have overstep here,  hopefully suspension can be kept minimal and he can come back as a better player again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again not saying what he said was right because it wasn't I agree with that. Not sure that it would be that prevalent in either sport now, because if a player is outed for it these days, he is publicly shamed for it. Take the Darren Lehmann against Sri Lanka or Lleyton Hewitt (who, in his heydey, made Kyrgios look like a choir boy) against James Blake incidents from around 15 years ago. They may as well have been 50 years ago, because as far as I'm aware, neither Lehmann nor Hewitt received any real sanction (Hewitt didn't even admit any wrongdoing). In the social media age, that wouldn't fly. It would be front page news for a week and they'd spend months on the sidelines.

neio Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Melbourne City FC would like to issue the following statement in relation to and on behalf of the Club’s A-League goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis regarding remarks the player directed at a Melbourne Victory opponent during a match on Saturday 4 February 2017. Melbourne City offered an immediate apology to Melbourne Victory for the player’s actions and will make a formal apology to Melbourne Victory and the player today. Bouzanis admitted making the remarks out of ignorance; however, has since understood the seriousness of his comments. Once informed of the gravity of his actions, Bouzanis committed to redressing the offence at the earliest opportunity. As such, he will issue a formal and personal apology to the player and begin an appropriate educational course to rectify the gaps in his understanding. The Club regrets the incident and any offence caused.Read more at http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/club-statement/1w01zynt4atjq1wwz1cz3unuam#3q2QqY0GJzsXTqdX.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic/10. So if someone doesnt understand the severity of the word but still uses it as a slur it shouldnt matter? Lets change the example. If he was following an Asian player around the field, pointing at them and loudly yelling "You're a fucking chink" you would be OK with it as long as he didnt understand how offensive it was? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
