Mr MO

I think most on here mean, is he marquee money worthy? No doubt he is a good A-League player.

As marquee replacement I would be a little disappointed with a player like Mclaren, he’s not much better than a Taggert. As mentioned by others is this what our scouting apparatus can come up with and then only for some matches left in the season.

All these players moving out plus Bruno would look excellent on our EOY financial books!

We shouldn’t overlook the fact that Bruno was out of form, actually deserved a game on the bench and is on 3x as much money as most other players.

Did CFG now loan him out to direct competition?

Brats is a nickname too, barking Atkinson to Nathaniel is not...but you are right...it’s mainly to get instructions across.

I think he’s a bit of a wanker and incompetent, had that opinion since last season based on tactics, team selection and sub use. The wanker part has been added this season based on recruitment and player management. Secondly I agree let him finish the season so that we don’t have to pay him out. We will do more damage removing him now.

Commonly accepted Australian nicknames isn’t the same as referring to your co-workers by their surname. I always find that a little disrespect if you work with somebody everyday, a friendly nickname or first name is more appropriate.

He started to dribble with strange comments when questioned about Fornaroli as well as his eyes turned away. I’ve also noticed that he’s shouting to players by calling them by their surname - Atkinson rather than Nathaniel. This confirms his authoritarian management style. The only other workplace where they shout at you with surnames is the Army.

I was going to vote for Delbridge until Eugene showed what a good pro he is - quoted by WJ.

I would take any player who has scored more than 15 goals a season - we lack this.

I also believe he’s played his match but we can we draw that conclusion out of Bruno taking his family down to the great ocean road over the Christmas period?

Didn’t we sign Vidosic last year?

Maybe this. Backloaded contract for A league and additional pay for ACL games.

Nah these guys are old and cost money. I don’t recall Melbourne City really reinforcing themselves with high profile players midseason. Who’s our best midseason reinforcement - Jaliens, Vidosic, Novillo?

Or media knows now how we operate. If a marquee can be replaced we won’t be splashing the out of cap cash anway until we offload Bruno and make some of his wages available. We have strict budgets for marquee spending.

Maybe we should stop considering ourselves members and being part of the club. Melbourne City is part of a commercial corporation, it’s management only speaks to influencers (FFA) and to entities with commecial interest. We are merely paying customers. But have they emailed/approached all the old members on their database? I receive emails from Victory sometimes, merely because I’ve attended the derby at Etihad.

Yeah, perhaps Kisnorbo was the last player to score a header out of a decent corner!

To score corners we need to land the ball in the box first out of reach of the goalkeeper and past the first goal post - this has been an issue for many years for some mysterious reason.

You’ve lost me, I can’t follow your response. All I’m saying is that nobody had an issue with Kilkenny going sideways or back at times when the forwards were scoring goals.

For Christmas?

Baccus is getting better and better no doubt and plays with more confidence now. The criticism was justified for the early season games but it went unnoticed for some. Backward passing comes to light more when you don’t create anything going forward as a team, during the Kilkenny years we created much more upfront.

As a marquee visa player really cheap and out of the cap. Sounds like CFG.

First accurate cross in the box from Jamieson in 2 seasons! We need more of that.
