haz Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 From Arzani's transfer we got $1.3m AUD. Â Assuming all this money (I doubt it) goes towards player wages, what would you rather? A $1.3m per season marquee - 1yr contract A $800k per season maquee - 2yr contract One $800k marquee and One $400k VISA - Both 1yr Contracts One $600k marquee and One $300k VISA - Both 2yr Contracts One $500k marquee, One $300k VISA, One $200k Aussie - All 2yr Contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC123 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Senegalese player (defender) failed his medical. Next two VISA players will be an Attacking mid and a defender. Neither will be house hold names. The marquee will be an attacking mid, in between the ages of 27 - 30. They are looking for a similar player to Sydney’s polish bold guy. That’s all I got. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are either going to put Mcgree/Vidosic/Caceras/Wales at LW then.  When you say 'They are looking....' did they mean they hadnt found someone yet or that 'They are looking at'  Seems like another season where are marquee will be rushed and wont arrive until only a few weeks before season starts Edited August 10, 2018 by haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) I’ve seen some comments on here about people objecting getting a player in like Ross Mccormack because we have Bruno. Usually I would say there is nothing wrong with having another quality striker? It can very well be that Bruno won’t repeat his first season form. I get the feeling that Wazza is seeing this second striker role for Vidosic because we have no other options on our list. I’m reading that we are looking to bring in a visa defender and a attacking Mid, I’m hoping this Marquee is capable of banging in some goals.

I probed but was told only that I would find out in due course. Asked about McCormack but was told only that they wish he were back at the club. Obviously players were told to keep a lid on inside goss which is fair enough. In good news the boys all seem to really gell well. The old and younger players. Seems a good vibe down amongst the players and I think above all we are going to see a season shaped by culture. Some really good people down there. Maybe this is just my pervasive pre season optimism soon to be shattered, but I like this team. I think it is going to be nearly entertaining as our 15/16 season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) It's good to see that we got Iniesta a loan move from Manus Island while he waits for his Visa to clear (hurry up Dutton!). He'll be fit and healthy to start next season at Aami. Â Edited August 11, 2018 by haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXCiTyZeNXx Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited)  Cant beleive no european club has offered Yaya a contract yet. He maybe old but he is still a freak and would even be a starter for a lot of European clubs like Benefica imo. And on Ross McCormack, if he would want to come back to the A-League then we would need to get him quick as he is another player a lot of UK clubs would want. I really cant see Eto'o coming here. I hope i am wrong and we try getting him to play aside Bruno as any club would be thrilled to have him. He as well is old but again is still a freak. I dont know much about Onuoha. All i know is he was a starter for QPR for a while and was decent defender in EFL Championship. Would be a nice asset to have at city as he always need to improve our defence. He had a decent early run with Manchester as well back in 09-10 if i recall it Edited August 13, 2018 by xXCiTyZeNXx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
