signed up.one more as my gf come to melbourne later this year and there will be one more extra when my mate signed up tonight I will make sure more Chinese people signed up as member through my club fan paige in Weibo (Chinese twitter) Have to say get Villa for 10 games gave us huge exposure in China and Chinese community in Melbourne

No, Man City has problem with fair play rules, you will not see them doing that. Maybe one day we sign a marquee player and loan him back to Man City to help them avoid breaching the rules.

Just imagine, Engelaar and Duff as visa players in the cap, Lampard marquee. Can that really happen? Not to mention the addition of an Australian marquee to that. It'd be quite remarkable, really. Imagine if this was a thing that actually happened. Cannot deal. Actually add Kennedy or Bresciano. Duff, Lampard, Mauk, Engelaar in the midfield with Villa and Kennedy up front. Out of control. No love for Mooy?

Do we have any travel specials for away games for previous seasons? 15% off for 6000 hotels look good

Still In as I voted at end of last season Love new crest, satisfied with kits as we are not playing in NSW sky blue

I remember the NYCFCwatch twitter account said Alberto Gilardino also on NYCFC's list, maybe he is on CFG's list for us? Any thoughts on him?

I rate McGowan. Would he be keen to come home? No, he said he want to back to europe

Would be a great signing actually, although I imagine he'd have to take a pretty hefty wage cut to fit under the cap. He probably will get around 2 million US dollars for one and a half seasons in China. If we could offer best facility and best chance help him back to Europe, I guess he will accept quiet low wage comparing to his ability

A very reliable source in China suggests Ryan McGowan will be released after world cup.He want to go back to uk, but he did not play very well this season. IMO a top RB choice for us and he could play CB easily

I wouldn't be so certain VDV would leave Hamburg if they were relegated. He loves the club and it would be highly possible he would stay to try and get them back up. Yes, I agree But like d13 said worth a try signing VDV or Sessegnon to A-league is making a huge statement by city

if HSV relegated please try Van der Vaart if WBA relegated please try Sessegnon

Scott Paker or Gareth Barry

Loan Yaya Toure and Silva to us?

Happy to have the right one for away kit

Donated 100 bucks. Plz check and PM me if received, new to paypal. Cheers

well, in the kick off Davutovic showed a list of contracted heart player, Mauk is on the list

Hope China can go through group B and meet oz in Melbourne

Ryan McGowan for RB or CB? Seems like Shandong's manager Cuca does not like him. Be the only Asian visa player in Shandong but Cuca didn't start him once this season.

Yes, A-league team won over 2 J-league team, but look at Yokohama or Hiroshima's teamsheet, there are only 4 or 5 starter, Yokohama did not even bring Shunsuke Nakamura to Melbourne.

Victory, such a pathetic football club. They were claiming that given 8% of tixs to Guangzhou for away supporters. We are estimating 4000 ppl be in Etihad at that day. And poor victory aware that there will be more away supporters than their own ppl. They closed half the seats in Etihad and they are likely to give only 1000 tix to Guangzhou! The news that Victory is a terrible club will spread in Chinese Community and I will try to recruit more Heart fans at that game!

A man can make the team better. We need a marquee like Diamanti please!!

only have to win by 2, we've actually scored more goals than them believe it or not. Actually we score exactly same goals as WSW after 19 rounds

Flores had a mere 16 appearances at Old Boys between 2006 and 2008, and thereafter his career went on a very different trajectory to that of Oscar Cardozo. Before he started playing for Adelaide in 2010, he had been loaned out to a second division side in Argentina, and he had ended up in a team in Chile's second division (Curico Unido in the Chilean Primera Division B ). Prima facie (on the face of things), Flores in 2009 was just a player who in his mid-twenties could only get into a second division side in Chile (playing in an 8,000 capacity stadium), and many A-League clubs might have overlooked him if they were superficial with their recruitment, as A-League club's have historically been. My point is simply that clubs have to look at each player case by case, and can't afford to use broad criteria to recruit players (for instance, he played in Europe, or he's Brazilian, or a footballer has dozens of international caps). I'm not championing the top division of the Phillipines or the top division of Hong Kong. I'm just saying that if the FFA introduces the 3+1 rules in the 2015-2016 season, where A-League clubs are only allowed 3 VISA players (from any countries) and 1 player from an Asian (AFC) country, A-League clubs should look broadly and smartly at what to do with the Asian spot. I agree that the J-League and the K-League are currently the best leagues in Asia, but duds have come from those leagues to the A-League (such as Byun Sung-Hwan and Do Dong-Hyun). Especially because I'm NOT talking about a marquee spot, it might be worthwhile to at least initially look beyond the J-League and the K-League, for instance to the Chinese Super League and possibly the Thai Premier League (where Victory got Surat Sukha from). Also, J-League and K-League players will still likely be very expensive by 2015-16, so if only because the better J-League and K-League players will be too pricey for the +1 spot, A-League clubs should think carefully about what to do with that spot. Think carefully and maybe just be a bit open-minded is all that I'm saying, and clubs might unearth more 'diamonds in the rough' like Flores. Besides the name I mentioned before, we could have a look at young South Korean Player from Korea University League. All South Korean young players have to play U-League before get drafted to play K-League. Some of the top talents usually decide to play in Japan to develop themselves. As we will have state-of-art training facility and the connection with Man City there is possibility that we recruit top Korean talent develop them and make profit from selling them to Europe

No. Simply No players from either Filipinos or Hong Kong clubs. Dylan Macallister looks like a top grade player in Hong Kong top league so please no. Only recommend asian players from J.league 1 or K-league classic. As a ambitious club we should look at names like Server Djeparov, Zheng Zhi, Shunsuke Nakamura, Yasuhito Endo, Park Chu-Young or Lee Dong-Gook if there is possible that FFA exclude Asian player wage out of salary cap

As Visitors have to travel to Guangzhou face ACL champion on 26th Feb, we have a huge chance to put 5 past them
