Officially signed for 2 seasons. Good pick up imo

Anyone making negative remarks for cfg being financially motivated are slightly bewildering. In this world, which owner isn't motivated financially. The backwaters of aleague football included. Any owner would consider such an offer and not just cfg.

i think its kind of irrelevant to a degree. In an environment where clubs are losing money hand over fist each owner has an imperative to try to balance the books. Its all well and good to say look who owns us but at the end of the day if we are an investment then ownership are prob not going to throw good money after bad.

lol the criticism of this is a bit ridiculous imo. thats massive $$$, both for the player and the club, and tbh the drop from behich to galloway on the exposed form of this season is not all that far apart. total no brainer imo

So Sakhi going and Jeggo coming in frees up a visa spot. This is critical as getting a starting quality left back at the last minute in January will be a lot easier (or to put it another way, actually possible) if we have the whole world to choose from. All in all it may not be a complete disaster, I guess the worst part of it is that it’s our Aziz, the club legend, who we have lost.

I suspect we also don't know how long this has been in the works with Behich. There will be lots of irons in the fire this time of year, and Behich going may just have been one piece in a complex jigsaw that allows other stuff to happen. I'd rather be optimistic as it's better than being miserable, and there's enough in the world to be stressed about already.

The financial logic is that CFG have set us up to deliver a return on investment at least enough to justify their investment in the club. So like any small but well run club we develop and sell on to generate revenue. Tilio, O'Neill, Bos etc are all proof of that strategy. The fee for loaning Aziz is bigger than the sale of each of those players, and yet we retain his registration. However tough for us as fans to lose him it's a no brainer in business terms, especially given the financial strife the ALM is in. And we may well have been stiffed over Sakhi as well. So no issues. Not happy to lose him, but understand.

Look at the bright side: the Visit0rs released a player at the start of his career in a fit of pique, now he's worth $2M for a half-season loan, no payment to the Visit0rs😂. Aziz gets a late-career payout, we are without him for half a season We are cashed up and have a visa spot.

Take that and run. Every club in the world would do that deal if they were in our position.

Shouldn't even update it JW - just creating more work for yourself as it always means another signing.

Can he play rb

That's an assumption. We don't know that for sure and TBH I doubt very much that it is the case.

Gutted to lose Behich on so many levels but yes the financial logic is obvious. Fingers crossed for incoming. It's been a bit of a season for low blows and unexpected setbacks but let's see how we roll. You don't always win in this game and we've got to hang in there. We're not Victory fans. We don't evaporate as soon as it gets a bit tough, even if we grumble.

Fucking hell now we officially have the shittest fullback pairing in the a league. Surely we're getting a replacement?

City getting a 2 million fee so that might explain why

Something ain't right at this club. Impending collapse of the APL maybe? 🤔

That's a real kick in the nads. Thought we'd got a club hero back for the rest of his career, so apart from the loss of one of our very best players, that's a bit of the heart and soul of the club that has just walked out. Also feels like no one really wants to be here, and I worry that things are far from good behind the scenes. Gutted. Season is a car crash.

It's like a modern competition, everyone gets a medal.

What in the actual fuck is going on at the club this season???
