PORCHO

Maybe because I'm currently working on Photoshop with colours. But I found this a lot funnier then I think I should have...

with no official announcement they're either not sure yet or the deals done for him to stay but he wanted an extended holiday. He was still here while everyone else was on holidays... He's actually currently in Spain on holidays, and had been back home for most of last month, but not sure what that means for his future here... I really hope he stays as a coach/mentor. He's got plenty of much needed experience and a great professional. Could teach some of the boys a thing or two or ten...

THIS! 3rd as an Asian confed player would be good. Good for marketing also... means guys like Timmy can come home without having to make up rules just for them... Would greatly improve the league as well as marketability. If we pick up a Sth Korean marquee, and the tards pcik up a Chinese marquee, and WSW a Jap... and so on, the league's popularity in Asia will start to grow. Sadly, I fear we'll get jack while the current shit for brains are in charge of the FFA

100% While we would all like to win everything, we need to be realistic. Last year we very likely should have won significantly more, poor coaching screwed that for us. Depending on signings, we could likely have the same expectations but at this stage, with the current squad and a new coach, assuming the players we sign are passes only(no terrible players but no superstars either - just to balance it out because we'll likely get a mix) a trophy of some sort and an ACL spot would be the minimum expectation... Of course if we end up signing 3 top players and some more good youngsters then likely our expectations will rise. We do need to be patient, new coach and all, but we still have one of the best teams despite needing to plug some holes.

Technically owned by Manchester but started pre season with us... Their pre season doesn't start till July, so it could be he's just here for the extra work, could be he's getting evaluated to decide whether he's staying or going, could be it just needs to be announced, could be they're in negotiations with another club and the fall back is he stays another year on loan. At this stage there's not been any proper info, just speculation based on the fact that he's clearly at the club and even from end of last season, seems intent on staying in melbourne

I'm looking forward to better merch... I know I'm delosional

That's just it. I think that's what went wrong last season... He started really well then performances dropped off, effort dropped off, seemed disinterested and the spaz in charge kept playing him. Hoping Wazza puts a fire under his ass and gets him playing at his peak. On his day he's one of the best in the league...

sorry, it's probably not fair to you. You do the nice thing of letting people know about the discount and I shit all over it. haha Just over the lack of options in terms of merch. Particularly when Manchester City does merch so well... Surely they could just plonk a melbourne badge on instead and be done with it rather than coming up with new things that simple look average. Would happily pay full price all the time for quality looking products.

YES!!! 50-60% off sub par merchandise! What else could anyone want?!

For up front we've got Crowley, I suppose maybe if he can play LW that might do but wouldn't mind the extra kid to work through the team. I think it's in our best interests to have a top 1st team(use up most of our cap) and a bunch of good kids to bring through. Cheaper and obviously the future of the club, both money wise(for those that are good enough to go abroad) and team wise(cheaper long term players for those that aren't good enough to go abroad but good enough for A-League). Let's just hope Wazza is the man to bring it all together... ex Liverpool youth player. He's supposed to be pretty good but it's the first I've heard of him coming over to us.

that's a good team, pending a good LB and CB, but we still need a decent backup LW, Arzani is more a AM while Genreau is a CM. A young LW with potential would do nicely, no use spending a decent chunk of our cap on a bench player. What position does John Roberts usually play?

YES! The new training kits and tracksuit jackets looks quality! As for Brattan, hopefully Wazza gets him playing the whole season the way he started out last season.

I've said it time and again, a monkey is better then what we've had so this bloke... a human with football experience is a bonus!

my issue with them hanging around is more about them not being capable of dropping down to their previous positions. Usually people get bitter about moving down in position. Not saying it's the case but there's always that risk... Plus, how can PK be assistant with those two muppets there...

montemurro and valkanis...
