jw1739 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think that if we look back too many Australian players have gone overseas too early and not fulfilled their early apparent potential. IMO the best outcome with Arzani would be for him to sign with Manchester City - this gives him the opportunity to be loaned out to one of the CFG clubs, or if he gets an irresistible offer elsewhere for him to take that and for CFG/us to take the transfer proceeds. To me that's a potential win-win. If he leaves the coaching and management structure that has nurtured him this far and jumps too early he could well get bruised. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be upgraded to marquee status for this coming season, bought by Man City and loaned out. He seems like such a level headed kid and i think he'll be confident in his ability to smash it next season in the A League, build on his fitness/work off the ball (which are both still a knock on him)and then head overseas. Logic and common sense would seem to think that's his best long term choice. But if a decent team (from one of the big 5 Leagues) makes a proper offer any 19 year old will think about it. I'm leaning with a possible Man City move. At 19 he is well ahead of were Mooy was. So who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) TBH, I want him to get out of the A-league because there are too many second-rate hacks that will chop him down and he risks a long term injury, I would prefer if he goes to one of the top 5 clubs in Europe and plays with and against real footballers and/or future stars, it's where he belongs. I will actually feel sad if he stays with us. Edited June 22, 2018 by playmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to return he can at least kick sand in their face. Edited June 22, 2018 by Rasputin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Not sure what is in the best interest of his career tbh, I thought he was younger than he actually is. Turning 20 in Jan and only has 20 odd pro appearances, so hasn't really experienced being a full blown pro even at A-League level. On one hand I think he should get a full season under his belt before risking becoming another lost youngster in England, playing academy/reserve matches. On the other I think 20 is a good age to make the move, development could definitely be accelerated at a higher level. Really hope this kid reaches his potential.

Hopefully he can find the right place to go with the help of CFG and then instead of just being poached of all our talent maybe CFG can pull a finger and give us a AWSOME MARQUEE.

He has set us up not to get smashed but with very little chance of winning or even playing anything that people will remember. If it wasn't for VAR we wouldn't have scored yet. Granted the available players are not worthy of playing at a World Cup but thats another discussion altogether. As for Arnold taking us into a new era, it's going to be awful.

How do you decide to wash the dishers with no morning fresh, how do you go surfing without a surfboard. What im saying is you work with the tools you have, you cant cut with a screwdriver.

jw1739 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I like Arzani. No doubt that he's a damned good player, and will ultimately leave us to play elsewhere, whether it be now or in the future. But IMO some of the reported talk - such as being worth a $50m transfer fee, and that he'll ultimately be one of the world's best 10 players - is ridiculous. IMO if someone offers us $50m for him I'd sell - that'd pay our operating losses for the next 10 years or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rass Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Definitely has huge scope for improvement. Up against a hard, fast, running fullback yesterday showed that he just can't take on any defender and skin him with a trick or a drop-in the shoulder. It was the next level up for him. Still though, he acquitted himself very well and wasn't afraid to try taking him on. Really proud of the kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
