However, IMO in cases like this - and I'm sure that there would be others - where serious injury results, then the rules should allow a review of the punishment. We've lost our marquee striker, from a crude and illegal tackle from a player in a pub team, and there's no sanction? That's bloody crazy. Totally agree. Disgusting actually.

This increases the chance of further injury as ligaments are inelastic anyway, compounded by a reduction in range of movement across that joint. It's difficult to effectively stretch ligaments when fractures also may need to be immobilised or when movement to stretch the ligament causes pain Edited August 31, 2017 by belaguttman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Fornaroli targets December return for Melbourne City Oct 6, 2017 Aidan Ormond Melbourne City FC's star striker Bruno Fornaroli has revealed he's targeting a December 10 return to the Hyundai A-League. Speaking with Fox Sports prior to Friday night's season opener against Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park, the injured Uruguayan talisman said it was tough mentally to come to terms with being injured. The attacker was injured in a Westfield FFA Cup tie in late August after he fractured his ankle in City's 3-2 win over Hakoah Sydney City East. But Fornaroli has a date in mind for his much awaited comeback. "I've a target in my mind of the match against Central Coast Mariners on December 10 [for a comeback]," he told Fox Sports. City have since signed Scottish goal machine Ross McCormack as Fornaroli's injury replacement. https://www.a-league.com.au/news/fornaroli-targets-december-return-melbourne-city 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said we are able to get 14 games in after Bruno "comes back". For which if McCormick has been that fucking good CFG could easily set up a deal in the meantime to buy McCormick from Villa and get him to us after the 14 games via some cheap front end long guest deal / off to New York short term if need be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Going to be interesting. McCormack can't stay - as a player - once Bruno is declared match fit unless another visa player is released. IMO Bruno is (or was) better than Ross in open play, but Ross is pretty bloody reliable with the free-kicks and penalties. The question is whether Bruno's overall play will have been impacted by a serious injury - correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he's been seriously injured before?

So from Transfermarkt, his injury is a 'Malleolar Fracture' Also from Transfermarkt he missed 5 games with a ' Strained Abdominal Muscle' in 2013 https://www.transfermarkt.com/bruno-fornaroli/verletzungen/spieler/72651 So no, he has not had a long term injury before. And I would burn CFA Bundoora if they got rid of Bruno to make room for McCormack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But stranger things have happend If Ross is about to leave as Top Goal Scorer, will FFA accept him as a Guest Marquee (if it is even still a thing?). Or get rid of Budzik, but I would prefer a #10 to feed the forwards. What I would be worried about is a situation where Ross and Bruno just do not work together on the field, I dont think either would want to sit on the bench and I dont think us supporters want a VISA on the bench Edited December 13, 2017 by haz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best chance is either to replace Bud, or to replace Brandan under the cap on a renegotiated deal. I get the thing with Bruno, but tbh i think Bruno is flexible enough to play as a 10, a winger, a target man or a out and out striker so i think it'd work just fine. You never know though until you see it i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I actually think Fornaroli would be a Wazza type player anyway, the same with Brandan.
