They've indicated to all the listed players that they want to keep them, meaning they adhere to their existing contracts or have already signed to new ones, so the players they are still negotiating with are Schenkeveld, Good, Brattan and Vidosic. After that they are looking to add to the squad. 3 minutes ago, playmaker said: My concern is that Pertrillo is pulling the strings on player recruitment without a manager......... surely not! I suspect that CFG already know who they'd like to take the reins. And Petrillo has all the assistant coaches still there to advise him. The club appears better organised than ever before.

I think he’s just re-signing the players that most managers would re-sign. We obviously couldn’t keep the loaned players or the ones we’ve released (besides Galekovic who retired and La Rocca who should be released anyway). Then the new manager can use the foreign spots on whoever he wants. It’s imperative he is allowed to sign who he wants though. I cannot stress this enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that they wish to keep Bart, Good, Bratts and Vidosic. (I would have dispensed with the latter - IMO a disappointing season - but it's obvious that they have offered him terms to continue.) I don't think we've seen information from the club like this in previous seasons, certainly not in such detail. And I like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Metcalfe, Genreau and Ianucci good tie downs for next year.

If Metcalfe and Genreau are willing to stay on (I know both are technically contracted, but it's about wanting to be there) then I'll be pleased. Those two alone could be critical to our midfield.

Ianucci got amongst the goals more last year than this one and does a lot of stuff like this (https://twitter.com/MelbCityYouth/status/1124569921625530369) whenever he plays for the youth team. I have never seen someone make more deft chips on a football field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 This is where we are at the moment. Only Brattan from last season needs to be resolved, and there will be up to nine scholarship players. But clearly we need more up front, and I would think the remaining visa players ought to be forwards, even if they are "secondary strikers."

jw1739 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 This thread has required an update almost every day for the past two weeks. So at the moment we have the following 20 players signed to the senior squad for 2019/20: So probably one more visa player to come in (Luna?) and a number of Scholarship players yet to be announced. IIRC we are ahead of where we've been in past seasons, and the squad looks pretty solid to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
