haz Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Although I dont like to speculate until the player holds up the shirt, this would be a solid signing. I havnt seen much of him in the last year though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dconder13 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) #WelcomeRoss. Remember playing fifa with this guy when he was at Leeds, wasn’t he the most expensive signing between two championship clubs (?) Get the #44 kit ready, very exciting signing if true!

Forever City Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Steve Bruce says he's surprised no one else came in for Ross. https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/aston-villa/2017/09/23/steve-bruce-australia-loan-move-will-benefit-ross-mccormack/ Villa have agreed a loan deal with the A-League club for McCormack, who must now decide whether he wants to make the switch. The £12million striker is well down the pecking order after failing to seal a move away during the summer. Bruce has now revealed the club received no firm offers for McCormack, who has made just two substitute appearances for Villa this season. “Nobody came in for him,” said Bruce. “Sunderland played at it but it didn’t come through. “Unfortunately that’s where we were left. “I was a bit shocked about it but that’s the brutal harsh reality about it - nobody came in for him. “I believe the clubs have agreed (Villa and Melbourne). It’s over to Ross. “I wish him the best of luck no matter what people think and all the rest of it. “He needs to go and play and get himself in the right condition for it. It could be the perfect fit for him.” McCormack has netted just three goals for Villa since a big money move from Fulham in August 2016 and had a high-profile falling out with Bruce. McCormack angered the Villa boss when he claimed he was not able to attend training, due to the gates to his house being stuck. The former Rangers and Leeds hitman spent the second half of last season on loan at Nottingham Forest and though he returned to the fold for the start of pre-season, McCormack was unable to force his way back into Bruce’s plans.

neio Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 This will be a brilliant pick up, even if it is only for 3 months Hopefully he settles in quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Over a 100 goals in the championship. Last year he only got 4, but in the past we've seen players of his pedigree perform very strongly in the A League. looks a good signing.

nah brah Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 potentially great signing. seems a bit unnecessary considering we have cahill and crowley. what's the point in having them if we are not going to use them?? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Man hopefully CFG pull off some accounting Magic and he stays for the whole season (MLS season ends in early November and begins again in early March). Any chance that if he bangs in say 15 goals in 10 matches, FFA will accept him as guest marquee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Was hoping for someone decent, but fmd I doubt we could have realistically got much better. while we can't trust past performances / CV, much better history playing in the championship than Andy Keogh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
