Maclaren's recent comments suggest an expectation that Caputo will be leading the line much more regularly next year. Suspect we'll see more of Mazzeo too. Plus we've had a gun young striker sidelined all season that I'm keen to see. Be interesting to see how this all pans out in the next couple of months. We'll need to thread the needle in keeping some experience and continuity, but also doing better than we sometimes have in promoting youth.

But keeping him for that purpose is not really that wise given he's contributing next to nothing...I'd rather free up the cap space and promote the academy players as depth

I think Nabbout is dusted, he's on the wrong side of 30 and hasn't been effective for over a season or so now...time to find a replacement

He certainly has but has also cost us progression in the ACL. Distribution wise he is not a City goalkeeper, turn overrate from his long kicks is sitting over 90%. I'm grateful for the saves but we need to refresh the squad so it's a No for me.

Nabbout was at the game against WSW and the commentator said that he had setback on his achilles and his season was over. He also said that both Tillio and Galloway remain on the injury list.

TTIM...The continual moaning by female sportspeople that they are not adequately remunerated. Babes, don't you know that it's nothing to do with your actual talent at all? It's about the money that sponsors, promoters, the media, advertisers, agents and agencies, governments, and all the other sport hangers-on are going to make out of you that determines what you are worth, and nothing to do with you at all. And you don't have to do it if you don't like it... TTIM...drivers in Melbourne who pull up at the lights in the centre lane when there's no right-turn lane, and then when the lights go green turn on their right-turn indicator.... Wankers.

It's also pissing me off to learn today that athletes get fast-tracked to citizenship so that they can represent Australia at sport, whereas other perfectly respectable applicants for a visa (not citizenship), such as someone who has married an Australian citizen, have to wait years. Double standards.

You just prolong the agony and the Academy graduates will go elsewhere.... City is crazy if it just keeps producing players for other clubs - we don't get anything for them. Caputo will go if he doesn't get match time.
