Murfy1 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 It now looks extremely unlikely that Garcia would sign for Perth. Perth's coach, Alistair Edwards, said this week "we're extremely happy with our squad so we're not looking to sign anyone else, but you never say never". Also, a West Australian sports journalist (Shayne Hope, who writes for The West Australian) tweeted on Wednesday, regarding Garcia possibly signing with Perth, that "Garcia isn't happening". It seems most likely IMO that Garcia will eventually re-sign with Heart. Apart from a move to the Middle East, a region where Socceroos seem to be rather in demand, I can't imagine where else Garcia could go. If he does re-sign, hopefully the deal can be finalised soon, as Scott Munn said it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't work out why he wouldnt be here for pre-season, regardless of his contract negotiations to prepare himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I believe in SM's timetables any more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 So what's happening on this front? At this point in time, we have put the best monetary offer in front of him, from what I have heard Perth have offered a half-asset offer. I am led to believe each day that passes we are more likely to sign him. He has looked to go overseas but he hasn't been able to get enough money to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) If he signs with us it's only because he's got nowhere else to go. I don't think that that's the right basis on which to sign a player, and I'd much rather see us sign someone who actually wants to play with Heart. This guy seems to be too much of a prima donna for my liking. The other guys in the squad are putting in the hard yards on the training track, and have just finished their first pre-season match on a country paddock, so who is this bloke to think he can just swan in when he feels like it and start taking a wage? Do not want any more. Edited July 25, 2013 by jw1739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Cain Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 He's a guy looking for a better opportunity elsewhere before signing with us, completely fair enough. Sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyheart Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Ritchie signed late August last year. Wasn't even ready for the late preseason hit out against the peninsula XI and look at the season he had. That's not my concern, it's what's going on in his head and does he want to play for us or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biancorosso7 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Personally, in light of the loan return of Behich, I would be tempted to pull Garcia's offer. We now have a list of Williams, Garrucio, Mebrahtu, Dugandzic and Ramsay who can all play as wingers, and then we are thinking about adding Garcia to that list? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR9 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 It can fill three more spots with two international players plus an Australian, which the club still hopes could be last season's best and fairest winner, Garcia. If it's a matter of money, Heart has wiggle room. Harry Kewell is on bargain basement wages, while the club does not have to pay a cent for Behich, on loan from Turkish side Bursaspor. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/golgol-mebrahtus-return-gives-hope-to-melbourne-heart/story-fnibbvjo-1226686572937 ... and it goes on.

Deluka Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 If this Chinese rumour is true, I don't know what to think anymore.

Parrot Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 This is bullshit. If a player is not training with us and has not signed up with us again 4 months after the season ended then stop stuffing around and pull the offer.

Deviant Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Let's say we did pull the offer after a set time... What's stopping another team taking him with less money? How stupid would we feel then? Leave the offer on the table, we aren't offering him more money, he knows what to expect. If/when no one else offers him more, he has the option to come back to us. If/when he comes back, great, we increase our depth in the first half of the season. If not, it leaves us with a bit more money to play with in the Jan transfer windows. Let him train with Perth for the time being... The offer they tabled was crap in comparison to ours. His family is their and he is enjoying the time with them plus at least he is training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately an offer has to be withdrawn, otherwise how could we sign our 23rd player? Can't have 2 players sign valid contracts and then tell one of them "sorry, we've gone over our numbers cap - no deal after all." Anyway, are we sure he's actually training with Perth, or is he doing it by himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
