The other thing is the 14 game guest stint that Cahill could have his wages arguably siphoned through, which Troisi probably can't. Guest stint for Cahill would work and create more space. Is this something you know they are looking at or just speculating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can we do though, you're a pessimist/realist/pessimist/whatever. Regardless, Troisi is on at least 30% more if his and Cahill's wage reports are correct, so if Tim is on too much then Troisi's contract is disastrous. Excuse me, I only mention it every third post! I got called a pessimist because I'm genuinely concerned about the cap situation, hopefully the club proves me wrong. Apologies for sharing my opinion on a web forum, if we all had the same opinion that would be really boring right? If there isn't anything to debate it would turn into a right cock fest hanging out on the forum with your mates and working on your like & post ratio! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Tbh it's a blessing we didn't sign him. The shit thing is the way it happened which is probably an indication of the dick he is as a person. It will be interesting what Mauk brings and I would hate to think what would happen if both these guys, which have shown obvious character problems, would be like in the same team with Troisi leading Mauk down the wrong path. Mauk needs some wise and grounded mentors around him, not the likes of Troisi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the official A League rules (only a summation of the rules on the website), but a guest player can only play 14 games in a season. I think the intepretation (and probably correct one) would be that a guest player for a particular season retains the status of guest player for the entirety of the season meaning the 14 game cap would still apply even if we signed them to a full contract after the 'stint'.

But at the end of the day, if he was too scared to face the wrath of his old clubs fans, perhaps he didn't have the character required to be a player here at City after all" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would be doing the same if things had worked out our way. We are in direct competition with Victory in this city - unlike even Sydney where Wanderers and Sydney are not really competing in the same marketplace. So far none of our signings have had a "wow" factor - Galekovic, Jamieson, La Rocca and Mauk plus scholarship players - all solid but not exciting. Victory hadn't done much either so far, so I don't think you can blame them for milking this one if that's what they do. Our challenge is to come up with a couple of signings that hit the headlines and really make people want to become City fans.

TBF, Jamieson is a pretty good signing in my eyes, he's effectively the best Australian left back on the market. If Mauk hadn't behaved like he did after he left City I think there'd be a bit of a buzz around him too, he was pretty decent at Adelaide and the cult of #yoof would be all over it.
