No they are completely different players

where did you see that?

Antonis was out the whole of last season with an injury

It is a long off-season signings will come, a lot of the fanbase are being reactionary imo, Antonis is a depth signing, the club would no way bring him in as a Berisha or VDV replacement

But then he went on to play for Grenoble Foot 38 in Ligue 2 and became their main left back

We are Macarthur and Mariners are both in the AFC Cup

Young 2 seasons 1 as a starter second as a backup with Niewenhuizen/Beach starting, Souprayen I think will be a stop gap signing, in a transitional season we are going to have a few unordinary signings which don't fit the traditional age bracket or player we go for, was bound to help when we lose 11 players

I would not be shocked if we sign another centre back along with Souprayen as my theory is we are bringing him in to sign as a backup centre back/left back which he can play both positions

If i was Petrillo and Rado I would go Australian for Left Back, Behich wants to leave Dundee and Alex Gersbach is the 3rd choice left back at Colarado so 2 good options, Souprayen will take up a visa slot, so I would use the last 2 on a creative midfielder and Tilio's replacement, we have also been linked with Trent Sainsbury so use him for centre back

He is not wrong, its essentially a rebuild so not every signing we will make will be the ideal long term solution

Florin Bérenguer, out of contract on June 30, has not received a new extension offer from Melbourne City, despite promises.

Souprayen likely will be a versatile depth signing, can play centre half or as a left back as well

Translates to "Samuel Souprayen passed his medical examination and today received his contract linking him to Melbourne City FC."

Don't mind that, some of the clubs we will face in ACL will be mid season and in form, we need to be match ready asap

I know Rado said in a press conference a few months back that basically all money from transfer fees go back into improving the academy

I reckon a lot of these 30+ signings are stop gap type signings tbh, players who will be here for 1-2 seasons while we wait for certain youth products to be ready to play consistently, a lot of minutes will be available with mid week ACL matches as well so plenty of opportunities

Young is different as age doesn't really matter with GK's, Souprayen makes no sense

Souprayen being a left footed centre back is interesting to me, can also play left back so maybe seen as versatile depth?

The fact we are trying to sign Souprayen and Miranda makes little sense to me, 3 visa slots on centre backs?

Will be interesting to see who we bring in as a Berisha replacement, need that more creative midfielder for that role

Van Der Venne?

I am normally sceptical when we sign players over the age of 30 but to see he had over 30 games in a top 5 league last season and his club offered him a new contract makes me have high hopes for him

Play him at left back I reckon

2 marquees slots are, I believe that Arslan will probably be a designated player so we likely have one more of those. We likely have a lot of cap space right now.
