Too funny not to share

Off to the MLS (Philadelphia) by the looks of things

Is that a good thing?

99.99% sure this guy is writing BS, but thought I'd post it

Not sure if it's been said, but was reading on Twitter that we're favourite for Carrusca.

Joyce seemed really keen on using younger players during the chat with him, expect them to feature quite a bit

Asked Brandan when he'll be back and he said he'll be ready for the start of the season

Spoke to Luke about his contract.. It's been offered, although it isn't completed he said no matter what happens he'll be a City player this season

Didn't say major signings.. just one or two that's it.

Wouldn't go into detail about visa spots, but he said definitely 1 signing will be made, maybe 2

Spoke to Joyce tonight, 4-3-3 is the formation for the season. Also spoke to Michael who said we'll be playing on the counter

From Joyce, 1 maybe 2 signings left

Article states could be done as early as tomorrow morning. With a marquee contract of $600k per season

Retirement officially announced, thanks for everything Great Dane! #ThanksThomas

Was expected today, more than likely tomorrow now

Definitely wasn't a full ACL. Saw Brandan at a training session with a slight limp, running around and kicking the ball training on his own with a trainer. Not close to first team training, but with over 2 months of pre season left, definitely should only miss a handful of rounds if that.

Crowley to be announced on a senior contract, expected tomorrow.

SOCCEROO James Troisi could be set for a shock defection to Melbourne Victory’s arch enemy Melbourne City. The free agent is back in Melbourne after a post-Confederations Cup holiday in New York — where he posted photos with Tim Cahill — and it’s understood City has tabled a marquee offer. The Herald Sun revealed City’s interest in March, in the midst of Troisi’s impressive season with Victory, though nothing was formalised as the attacker appeared destined to re-sign. City has since swooped for Troisi as Victory talks broke down, and have offered him the spot vacated by Nicolas Colazo. But, in a twist, it is also understood that an offer from Victory — albeit heavily reduced — remains on the table, leaving the door ajar for an unlikely reconciliation with Kevin Muscat. Victory will not offer Troisi a marquee spot despite having a position free after the departure of Oliver Bozanic — which suggests coach Muscat now has his sights set elsewhere — but is open to the 29-year-old returning under the salary cap. The marquee offer tabled to Troisi by City would be roughly equivalent to that which netted Argentine Colazo last season — just under $600,000. Troisi, who has won 32 Socceroos caps, appeared destined to make a move to Israeli club Maccabi Haifa after he underwent a medical there last week and was even photographed holding a Maccabi scarf. But with that deal having since fallen through a return to the A-League is now looming as most likely, with a mooted move to newly promoted English Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion also off the table.

Picture: Wayne Ludbey Troisi starred for Victory last season and he was offered a marquee deal to stay, but the two parties were well apart on an agreement regarding salary, with Troisi confirming publicly last month that he was to look elsewhere. The offer currently on the table from Victory is for a significantly lower fee than what was being offered when the marquee slot was being discussed. The South Australian has also attracted interest from clubs in Russia and Turkey since he walked away from the Israel deal, with his next move of critical importance ahead of the season leading up to the 2018 World Cup. Troisi has played at nine clubs in seven different countries in his 10-year career. City’s only marquee as it stands is striker Bruno Fornaroli, with Cahill moving inside the salary cap this season.

Wasn't a pre-made message.. my friend and I were on the phone to him today

Brattan was on the phone ringing up members to speak to them and thank them for being a member for the up-coming season. Really nice bloke!
