HeartOfCity

Really don't want Brattan coming to City for some reason, it just doesn't sit right with me. I'm sure he would rather stay in Europe but if CFG push him our way I hope it doesn't look underhanded

"It's just the a league who cares if the coach is loosing games at Melbourne City, New York is the real franchise we have to look after." This must be how they talk in CFG meeting's

Really? It's not that bad, I've seen worse.

Spot on and can't agree more, have been more than impressed with effort put in off the field and to be honest I don't mind the colours. There was always going to be a teething period as with most take overs, there still has to be a change in attitude as far as I'm concerned but it'll get there and I think we'll start seeing more crowds, more wins and all round happier supporters.

What I took from last night's attendance is that we probably have about 7,000 rusted on fans which is great and is probably comparable as an average across the league but there's no doubt I would like to to see more people get along. I think Villa's visit last season showed that if we get a decent marquee we can really build on attendances. I struggle to see how CFG don't see this and probably put it down to JVS when he gives his list of needs and wants for the come season to the recruiters. The MLS is a pretty decent league now and they are still getting well known marquees to help the brand. It's a no brained for me.

What we really need is a coach that can deliver a rocket! JVS doesn't seem like I coach that just looses his shit when trying to get the team back on track, more likely to give the team a pat on the back whilst saying "you can do better" I like the style we play but maybe would be more suited to assistant role with a demanding coach that can deliver a message and put the fear of God into the players.

As I understand Cahill's contract finishes on january, would anyone take Cahill as a marquee, could be a straight swap for Koren (when he gets booted out). I know that if Mooy gets called for Socceroo duty we might be left one short in midfield but I think Cahill would be a great addition.
