haz Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, Dylan said: Ashley Cole Could be a possibly, he got released from Roma yesterday and supposedly going to LA Galaxy. But would a team loan him out to a Rival team's sister club? And even more so, any MLS player will miss the start of their season if they come to us for the rest of ours. I believe we won't sign a player already playing in the MLS permently. But rather someone you might be getting interest from the MLS such as Cole.

HeartOfCity Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 1 hour ago, millm103 said: Koren, Williams to leave Melbourne City Melbourne City are the A-League’s first big movers and shakers in this January Transfer window. THE TURF can reveal that both marquee Robert Koren and striker David Williams are set to leave the club. Meanwhile, midfielder Anthony Caceres is to join City’s ranks. Robert Koren is on his way out from Melbourne City after an underwhelming marquee stint. Scoring only three goals in two season, the last being in 2014, City now feel that they’re not longer getting their money’s with his marquee status. The 2015/16 season has seen him overshadowed by the likes of Harry Novillo, Bruno Fornarolli and Aaron Mooy who have spearheaded City’s attack. Appearing in only six fixtures this season, it appears that Koren has well and truly lost the patience of the City Football Group who have tabled him an early-release contract. City are confident of Koren’s acceptance so they can sign a new marquee player to finish out the current A-League season. We’re hearing that City have their eye on a former Premier League player who is currently playing in the MLS. Narrows it down to a handful of players.... Kaka just got a feeling.

CityHeart Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) If it's from the city group, Pirlo or Lampard would be a guess as I doubt we would try Villa again. From MLS, Kaka is one option and on-field probably still a better player at this moment - but if we are talking a 'like' player (mid) who will probably be the biggest draw in A-league history (IMHO) as an individual player...and he was in the country not long ago...Gerrard!

So more likely - if the rumour is true in the first place - that it's a transfer rather than a loan. Quite frankly I'll believe it when I see it. There are that many rumours flying around that if you believed all of them we're about to replace half the squad... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHFCRC Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 not sure why they'd spend 10m a season on a bloke for this league.. Just not enough reward. Could barely see them spending over 2m, regardless of how rich they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
