[Aziz Behich Gone?]

No a league player is worth $1mil. Period. Anyone who thinks different is tripping balls.

Why?

Fwiw, Tommy Oar, Langerak, Rukavytsya, Rostyn Griffiths and Barbarouses (I think) were all 1m+ transfer fees.

Wasn't Oar a package deal with Sarota and Zullo to Utrecht

[Sack John Didulica]

Fooking hell! If we didn't have a VISA spot tied up with Gray we could have offered Bas van den Brink a deal...

Had his contract terminated at Perth Glory today.

Can we terminate Gray and sign VDB

[Round 19 - Visitors FC v Melbourne FC - Sat Feb 2 7.45pm - Etihad Stadium]

Hoffman is suspended

[Sack John Didulica]

Let's have a look who he has brought in the last couple of years from outside the a-league

Germano - tick

Gerhardt - tick

Garcia - tick

Tadic - tick

Fred - neither tick or cross

Worm - neither tick or cross

Terra - neither tick or cross

Maycon - cross

Gray - cross

Grella - cross

I have probably missed a couple, but that's not a terrible strike rate. But there is a lack of a real big name there

[What is the worst way we lost this season]

In order

2-1 vs Sydney

1-0 vs WSW

2-1 vs Victory

3-2 vs Wellington (the reason this is forth is because we had no Gerhardt, Colosimo, Behich or Garcia and I didn't expect to win anyway)

[Round 19 - Visitors FC v Melbourne FC - Sat Feb 2 7.45pm - Etihad Stadium]

Would anyone else prefer Gray to play over Vrankovic

He has been very very poor in the last 2 games he has played, and I can see Thompson and Rojas targeting him big time

[Round 19 - Visitors FC v Melbourne FC - Sat Feb 2 7.45pm - Etihad Stadium]

Redmayne

Walker - Gerhardt - Colosimo (Gray) - Behich

Grella - Germano

Garcia - Thompson - Williams

Tadic

Bolton - Kalmar - Babalj - Mebrahtu (Garruccio)

[Player Contracts - 2018-19]

Players fit into 3 categories

Definitely Keep

6 Gerhardt

10 Tadic

11 Garcia

13 Germano

14 Merbrahtu

15 Williams

18 Vrankovic

19 Garruccio

20 Redmayne

23 Dugandzic

24 Mitchinson

25 Walker

36 Babalj

Possibly Keep (depending on money, and new signings)

3 Edwards

4 Colosimo

8 Thompson

22 Kalmar

31 Grella

Leave The Club

1 Bolton (retire)

5 Fred (for a key marquee he is too injury prone)

9 Macallister (I know he contracted, but with Eli back really no chance)

16 Behich (will be off to Europe)

17 Hoffman (too many in his position)

21 Gray (well what a waste of a visa spot)

So I believe this will need us needing a back up keeper. I think we should look at Thomas from victory. He has been pushed out there. Remember the first derby, if it wasn't for him we would have kicked 5

Another CB - Madashi perfect

A LB to replace Aziz

An AM - I'd be looking at getting a real quality international marquee for this in the mould of Broich. By letting Fred go our marquee spot is open
