johnno cpfc Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Watched the game yesterday on fox, they showed Maclaren and i sat wondering what was going through his mind. Hopefully he was optimistic unlike many of us, but i could not help thinking that he looked like someone who had made a terrible mistake . I hope things work out for both Maclaren and the club but as others have written i don't think we will make better than fourth and get dumped out of the finals.

IIRC when the PG salary cap breach was in full swing. JMc was being courted by City but he chose to go to BR rather than us. I suspect that he is thinking that BR was the correct choice. Further, it is unlikely that Wazza will be able to develop him any further. What is going through his mind? That Wazza's contract is not renewed and that they get a coach - even JA.

Bob Latchford Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Do we have a thread for new chants for new signings? Shits me to tears we don't have solid chants for players but IMO with JMac on a 3.5 year deal and being local boy, we should be trying our best to make him feel welcome.

Harrison Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I said a week ago that the club needed a player that we could all get behind. A pin-up boy who will excite the fans and help us collectively move on from BF and the entire situation. I think JM is a perfect fit. He wants to play for this club, he’s a proven goal scorer in this league and is a Socceroo. He’s good in front of the camera and has the right attitude. https://www.a-league.com.au/news/maclaren-vows-add-goals-kick-start-citys-title-push 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChopperHeart Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 “Ironically, Maclaren’s sister works for City’s bitter rivals Melbourne Victory and is pregnant with his first child, due in July.” Ummmmmm..... should’ve signed for Adelaide #inbredunited 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I hope that one thing an independent league gets a grip on is players missing matches because of international duty. It's not so important if you're playing a lot of matches in your season, but when it's just 26-27 then the absence of a player or players on ID can have a significant impact on your season. And it always seems to me to be intrinsically stupid to have players missing important matches after you've just had a 5-month off-season.

neio Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 If this knee knock does mean he doesn't get selected due to injury. Is he allowed to play the Derby if he is ok?

Nate Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 It's annoying but it hurts both sides since they'll most likely be missing Nabbout and Deng and it's classic A-League anyway so whatever, missing players are exactly what squads are for. Here's hoping we can account adequately for no Maclaren game 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
