n i k o Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Last two games there's been an evident improvement in Bruce: 1. His willingness to be more physical when contesting for a ball 2. Also his willingness to take on players Really feel Wazza is the driving force behind this. Hope he keeps it up and continues to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEARTinator Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 The McDonald’s sponsorship should be put to good use by supplying Brucy with stacks of Big Macs and Quarter Pounders to put some muscle onto his slender frame. Need to see Beefy Bruce Kamau barge through the opposition like Novillo use to. Now that would be something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the boys next match, Monday morning. Then Sth Korea, who just beat Vietnam 2-1 and have always been strong.

Murfy1 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Warren Joyce says Bruce Kamau was left out of squad against Adelaide due to speculation he’s moving to the Wanderers Anna Harrington March 16, 2018 MELBOURNE City coach Warren Joyce says Bruce Kamau was left out of Friday’s clash with Adelaide United due to reports the forward had signed with Western Sydney. Kamau was named in City’s initial squad but come game time, had been omitted. Joyce said speculation the forward had signed with the Wanderers was the reason he wasn’t playing. “Well obviously that news broke, it was news to myself this morning,” he told Fox Sports’ Kick Off. “We’ll discuss it with Bruce next week. “He was left out tonight because of that.” Former Adelaide coach John Kosmina said he admired Joyce’s honesty and said the coach potentially had to take action after seeing a change in Kamau during training. “One thing I’ve got to state is Warren Joyce’s honesty is refreshing to be honest, a lot of coaches would fluff around a question like that,” he said. “You have to, you’ve got to be truthful. “But the thing is if Bruce Kamau’s already been talking to Western Sydney, his head’s not in the right space. “And that’s probably what Warren Joyce has assessed during his time on the training park, ‘is he really here for the next five games?’” Kamau has dazzled at times this season for City, but has also been in and out of Joyce’s starting line-up. Former Sydney defender Sasa Ognenovski said the onus was on the player to remain professional, even if they were planning to leave a club at the end of a season. “I’ve been in the same situation when I’ve moved from Brisbane to Adelaide and Frank Farina was my coach and he didn’t drop me because he knew I was going to Adelaide,” he said. “But you need to be a professional either way. “So if Bruce Kamau’s going to Western Sydney, he needs to fulfil his contract with Melbourne City, so I’m guessing that they’ve seen a shift in his attitude and the way that he’s training and his output to come to a decision like that. “Because Bruce Kamau in top flight, in top form, can help Melbourne City in this finals series for sure.” https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/soccer/warren-joyce-says-bruce-kamau-was-left-out-of-squad-against-adelaide-due-to-speculation-hes-moving-to-the-wanderers-ng-83d8f6fd69c51b3b49225502ffe0d4c3 Edited March 17, 2018 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) The rumour that Kamau and Tongyik are going to Western Sydney has been around quite a long time. IIRC, Kamau didn't really want to sign for us in the first place, but was persuaded to do so by his father because he thought it best for his son's career. So the rumour doesn't surprise me at all. However, I'm surprised that Joyce didn't find the time to check with Kamau direct before omitting him.

Not quite the same thing as having already signed for another club. However, it doesn't seem to take much for Joyce to omit a player. Especially after the departures we've already seen this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Joyce’s “reasons to exclude people” list, we’ll be forfeiting games pretty soon due to a lack of players to select from.

neio Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 This is an interesting one, cause where I agree that if he is leaving there is no point playing him. But what if it was Bart who said I'm off to whoever. Do we play him? Kamau isn't in our best handful so it's an easy stance to make, but it's a dangerous one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Can someone please say that manny muscat is going to sign for another team so we never have to see him play again? Cheers. Joyce is a dipshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I am happy for Kamau and Tongyk. They were never going to develop under Joyce and now they will be able to enjoy themselves again. Just one more season of Joyce to go as I don't expect Petrillo to admit to monumentally screwing up the coaching selection. I still expect Arzani to find a club and coach that will eventually allow him to fully develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrillo's contribution is to repeatedly sign former Adelaide players who then turn out to be either mere shadows of what they were previously or unsuited to the coach's desired style or both.

rass Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Kamau did f*** all last season before Joyce was even here. He then flourished for a few weeks under Joyce before going back to being shit. Lol it's not Joyce's fault he is crap. If I was a coach and found out a player was leaving without being given the respect to tell me to my face, then I wouldn't fukn play him either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the goals he scored in the first few games, just take the time to review them and tell me if it was good football or good luck. Kamau looked good when he first arrived then produced nothing for the rest of his time. We could do a lot better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about watching him train and seeing someone who looked committed to the cause, which in turn was rewarded with multiple starts - an improvement on the season before. But as I said above and multiple times before, he's a fraud and it wasn't long before he went back to his true self. ...actually on the topic of his goals, yeah they weren't the greatest quality or easiest on the eye. But he was still there in the right place at the right time to score them, deflections or not. An out of form player wouldn't even have been there - think of strikers on top of their game poaching rebounds and tap-ins against, Berisha e.g. Edited March 17, 2018 by rass because I have more to say.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, who else would you have been playing in his stead for most of the season though? Fitzy's gone backwards at an alarming rate and Arzani was apparently incredibly unfit at season's start, he's still not really fit enough if we're being honest, despite his mercurial ability. Hindsight's a beautiful thing but our wing stocks were clearly considerably worse than most of us thought going into this season. The biggest flaws in Joyce's selection criteria for mine are Bozanic, Muscat and to a lesser extent Delbridge.
