  1. Tim "it's not about me" Cahill my thoughts on Timmy Self centered player, but you don't get to where he got by being a nice guy Did some good things for us last year, pretty much the top scorer if you take Bruno's penalties out of the equation BUT, by us taking him as the face of the A League, it hamstrung our own game the whole how do we fit Bruno and Tim into the team was a disaster, Bruno, due to a few reasons was a shadow of his former self, the fact that Timmy had to play, put us one midfielder down, and invariably it was a creative # 10 that was missing, therefore Bruno had no supply compared to his first season. What did he bring as the face of the A League? a big wage and promotion , did it send attendances sky rocketing ? NO It really didn't help boost our attendances what will I remember most ? sure he scored some important goals BUT my main memory is how he hijacked a celebration of Australia qualifying for the World Cup to push his own agenda and blame the club that has paid him his inflated wages

  2. You can agree with Tim's motivations or disagree, but at the end of the day I don't think anyone can argue that he handled this situation very well. Immediately after the nation had qualified for the World Cup he threw a hand-grenade out there via the media and leveraged them to get his way at the expense of our football club. Over the next couple of weeks he remained completely silent as the shit storm he created came down over the club and his manager, a situation which probably exacerbated some of these internal issues we've had with players who are apparently unhappy with their lot at the moment. I've been a vocal supporter of Tim's stay here but his departure leaves a very sour taste in the mouth.

  5. Let's just all remember why TC has left. It's got nothing to do with what he did or didn't do for us as a player and/or marketing tool or the same for the League as a whole. We didn't make him club captain for this season to piss him off at the earliest opportunity. He chose to very publicly make remarks about his (lack of) playing time with Melbourne City, in effect criticising both City and City Football Group. If he actually wanted to stay with us he ought to have realised that this is something you just do not do. He was gone the moment he said what he did after we qualified for the finals in Russia.

  8. Looking at it from Timmy's perspective. Plays Confederations Cup in the off-season, played 60 minutes against a very good Chile side as a central midfielder and was integral to the score being 1-0 in our favour when he was subbed off. Covered plenty of ground, made a lot of challenges and led by example in closing the Chileans down in the middle of the park. He returns to pre-season at Melbourne City a few weeks later after a deserved rest like all the players who played Confeds Cup. I highly doubt he'd need long to get back into match shape due to his conditioning as he's probably the fittest player in the squad. Yet Joyce only sees him as a bit part player off the bench to relieve McCormack and prefers players like Malik, Mauk and Jakobsen in the middle of the park. If I went from playing exceptionally well against Alexis Sanchez, Arturo Vidal and co to sitting on the pine while Osama Malik and Stefan Mauk strutted their stuff in midfield and the only goalscoring threat our striker posed came from set pieces and penalties I'd feel like the coach doesn't have faith in my abilities. In a World Cup year I wouldn't be sitting on the pine and giving the NT coach a reason not to take me on the plane to Russia after being a key reason to why we qualified in the 1st place.

  9. FWIW I don't buy the "lack of playing time" argument for one moment tbh. I think there is more going on here. Round 1 vs Brisbane. 0 minutes as he was away with the Roos. Round 2 vs Victory. 10 or so minutes off the bench after playing 120 for the roos mid-week. Round 3 vs Wellington. 8 or so minutes off the bench. Team won the week before, no need to shuffle things around too much. Round 4 vs Adelaide. 20 minutss off the bench. Our starting striker scored two goals and he still got 20 minutes. Round 5 vs Sydney. Started and got injured. Withdrawn after 25 minutes. Round 6 vs Wanderers. 0 minutes as unavailable with the Socceroos. Round 7 vs Brisbane. 0 minutes, club listed him as unavailable due to ongoing ankle injury from Sydney game. Round 8 vs Perth. 25 minutes off the bench. Return from injury. Round 9 vs Newcastle. 15 minutes off the bench. This is a striker who has yet to score a goal for us this season. Our other striker is second in the league's golden boot standings. As you can see, he hasn't exactly been fully available, and when he has been he hasn't exactly been doing a lot for us on the park. He even mentioned in his statement yesterday that he is still carrying the ankle injury from the Sydney FC game. The worst part is that the last game he played before his game-time comments he actually started. The playing time argument he makes is bullshit imo and there are reasons behind the scenes that he's leaving. According to his autobiography, Timmy sees himself as a real leader at every club he plays for, and likes to be heavily involved in helping the coaches make decisions. He speaks about how both he and Thierry Henry basically coached New York Red Bulls whilst their manager was just there for looks essentially. There was also a rumour coming out of the City camp last season that JVS had lost the squad and that Cahill was doing basically most of the coaching himself. Now I don't know about you, but Warren Joyce doesn't exactly strike me as the kind of bloke who would want to let a player do most of the decision making for him. He seems like the kind of bloke who would not want his authority questioned. If you ask me, Valkanis got the sack by Marwood and so did Timmy.

  13. Ahhh, I get ya. Probably not. But from his end, he has sacrificed a coaching contract. And that could've led to several years within CFG as a coach, even if he was a shit coach, given how CFG love shit coaches.

  14. Don't know whether to be upset or happy? I think the kids will be the biggest losers here. They loved him. But I think it's very selfish from Timmy. You are 38 ffs! Surely you didn't expect to walk into a team purely based on profile?

  25. Well don't be as I am sure any player who supports the manager (which should be all of them) would consider Tim a flog for trying to chest up against the manager. Wazza was brought in for one reason and one reason only and that's to set us up for the future, Marwood came to back Wazza up and tell everyone that it's Wazza's way or get out. Doesn't matter if you agree or not that's just the way it is. Hopefull we look at this period in a few years and agree we are a better team for it. NO PLAYER IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB. Good riddance Tim As Bruno said 'Now Fk oooofffff' COME ON CITY!!!!!

  26. Get rid of Joyce. Amateur club coached by an amateur. You don't treat an icon of the game this way. Don't blame Tim for leaving one bit. Other fringe socceroos get regular game time yet Cahill doesnt? Joke. Get rid of Joyce.

  27. Meh even if Killa goes we'll have Brattan, Mauk, Carrusca, Arzani, Najaarine, Malik, Jako and Genreau. Plus Budzinski. Not stressed at all.

  28. Where's the evidence these are based on? With the ringleader gone, I'm now expecting Kilkenny to leave between now and the closure of the mid-season window. Asia is my guess.

  31. the next round of the dual citizenship circus .... as shown by Barnaby ticking the box to say he's renounced his O/S citizen , then being reelected... what does this actually achieve ? and we are going to go through this how many times ?? what a waste of money and time

  35. If we lose Brandan and Cahill to keep some washed up fat striker who cant even score in open play and during the game is effectively as useless as Mifsud...... Some 'culture' Wazza is building there

  36. Livid, largely because it's fucking shit The club has put a lot of money into this, and Cahill bails at the first time of being dropped / having to compete for a starting spot. Also makes us look like a joke. For everything that could have been with one of Australia's all time greats, it's all in tatters and feels very unfulfilled In saying that, there are positives. We have time and cap space to get a solid replacement. Plus it's prevents any dissent directly from Cahill cannot now escalate amongst the squad. We also have the cup win and that derby goal to remember

  38. Good news for the club as I think we have moved on from egocentric individuals that don't want to tow the line. If any player thinks they are bigger than the team and tries to pressure the club and have a power play publicly the way he did then the door needs to be shown as this is culture that we need to get rid of, period. Good luck to him and hope he gets playing minutes, but not at our club. DRAIN THE SWAMP WAZZA, ALL OF IT.

  39. Hmm look i doubt the club let him walk i reckon they'd have made him pay some of it back before letting him go, and tbh, i reckon he will have done that because of how desperate he is to go to Russia. In saying that, as above, we'll never know. The interesting part now is that we have a decent chunk of cap left (anywhere from 120k to 290k depending on what report you read) for 4 months to spend. Obv to bring in a foreigner we'd have to let one go, but we'll have a spot for an aussie either way. Is there anyone that's a perfect fit that could fill a need? Nathan Burns?

  40. I know its cool to hate on Tim in here but bad move by the club. He was better at scoring from open play than Fornaroli last season. The fans love him especially the kids, every time he came on on or ran past the crowd while on the bench he got a massive cheer. Keeps the club narrative going that Melbourne City cannot be trusted when it comes to big name signings, first Villa not hanging around now Tim. Will kill any chance of a membership boost in the future based on signing players.

  42. I don't believe it is actually, but you go with it if it makes you feel better. Btw, he dropped about 8kgs to get himself fit for this season. You need to be pretty lazy to do that.

  43. I was at some bar in San Miguel De Tucuman having an overpriced beer/sandwich and a Boca game was on the TV in the backround. Within about 10 minutes of watching Boca copped a goal against some team in blue and the guy who scored looked familiar... Of course it was Colazo. Continued to watch the game and he was playing like a completely different player. Confident as fuck, screaming his head off and going in hard for the ball... which he never did once at city. Got me thinking about our imports over the years and I figured out a little pattern. When you move to another country its obviously tough adjusting to the language/culture/football style however that can depend on your personality. The quiet subdued type guys like Colazo/Tadic/Koren/Budzinski seem to suffer a lot and seemly play different to how they would back home. However others have shown that their balls out attitude tends to overcome any anxiety or confidence issues that comes with a international transfer... Eg. Engelaar/Novillo/Bruno and now Bort. Conclusion being, if you're gonna sign a foreigner make sure his a bit of a cunt. Seriously. We should look into not only football ability but a blokes confidence in his day to day life. Psychologist and body language expert would be able to sort that out.
