If you add Fernando to Brandan its actually quite a big name and we haven't actually discussed wether he has middle name. So as far as names go it's up there in size.

Beat me to it.

Welcome aboard.

Just ask Dekker.

My sympathies. Just start singing hotel California.

Yoof alert. Just kidding. The one thing JVS has proven over the years is that each season he plucks a youngish player and he gets to atleast A League standard. And of course there are at least 5 that don't. Let's see how he goes in the cup game.

I personally think it's the perfect time to start making shit up.

The mysterious Marquee.

I'm with you. We must have had signed along way out because I don't think the FFA would have brought in this new Cahill rule. Maybe we'll get a double announcement. Cahill and New Marquee. Say 21st around 10ish.

Mooy x2

Haven't seen it yet that is up close.

Correct I'm just assuming he's in similar to Sorensen last season and obviously it's most probable as he is another midfielder again. So I'm really hoping our Marquee is a CB. I know there was huge debate last season about using a visa on a goalkeeper but imo it was a good decision. I think a gun marquee CB could actually be in the mix. And yes I know we still have you know who but I can't think about that right now or there's no way I'll get through this cold winter.

With Kilkenny confirmed (another midfielder ) that leaves us with still 2 Visa spots and a Marquee assuming Bruno has been elevated to Marquee which incidentally I don't recall hearing. Anyway we have 3 big spots left. At this point if we can get 2 out of 3 spots right we could potentially have an even better squad than last season. If we get 3 then definitely. If CFG can get it right then we definitely will have a good shot. Just look at NYC finally they have Villa Pirlo and Lampard all playing and fit and the results are coming. So if we can get 2 visas in the back 4 that is a CB and LB and the Marquee as either a #10 or a wide/winger type we will have a super side. All this needs to be done by minimum middle of August to give atleast 5 to 6 weeks of acclimatization. My only fears is by Nov /Dec when the grounds harden these newer foreign players are candidates for the Germano centre. Slowly getting excited for this season, but I reackon I've been here before.

Just got emailed the e-ticket.

From where I sit (generally in an armchair ) Cahill is a flog, but he is also an amazing player so as long as he plays to his abilities and limits his flogishness then as a City supporter I'll be rapt. He wont score 30 goals but if he can manage 20+ games and atleast 8 goals and few assists he be more than doing his job. He will drag more people to City games for sure. Just this last week the amount of people that know I follow City and comment about Cahill coming is enormous.

My local club in East Kew.

It's more a bad attempt to reference the Wanderers movie in light of all this gangland talk.

Did I miss something. 1 question about it being ticketed and it then leads to some sort of tuff turf ultras showdown. FWIW I'll be rocking up with in a Hawaiian shirt with 6 of my 40+ year old mates.

I get were your coming from. I see it more as being the Del piero effect rather than the list of failed Marquees. On feild it will be up and down but off feild we may see the power of image transform our position in the market. I guess for me it's better to try than not at all.

Being signed as a guest player can only be looked as a bonus. Welcome Mr Cahill.

Why? More of the same.

Spot on. Scary thing is that's 4 starting players. Not impossible but very risky especially considering 2 atleast will be Visa which mean the other 2 must be Australian. The more I think about Wilkinson the more it pains me he has gone.

Another survey. Also one of the questions was a new song couldn't be bothered posting it. When are they ever going to respond to any questions posed and what are the outcomes to the 20 something previous surveys. Completely pointless.

Really hoping one of our Visa spots goes on a quality CB and even better if its the Marquee. If we can somehow solidify our back then with Bruno and friends we could have a decent crack. If we fail to land a proper experienced cb then we will struggle from round 1.

Very true. The Diamond midfield requires 2 box to box hard working mids. Kamau and Brandan (without watching them) seem more wide players/wingers. So if we were to play them both I reackon we would go 433 and they being alongside Bruno as the front with Caceras Brattan and Malik playing behind them. Even still we're cooked at the back.
