mus-28 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Would people want to keep JVS if that means Van der vaart?Could put a goat in charge if we got VDV for all I care. We'd finish bottom but it will still be the best season of supporting this club I've had. I recall similar being said when Villa signed,except we put a donkey in charge.

Shahanga Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Need a decent coach if you have VDV. The guy is an attacking midfielder who doesn't defend. If he's class that's not the end of the world but you'll need a good plan to cope when you don't have the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silva10 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Would love to see Jordi Hiwula come to Melbourne next season. It is unlikely though as I am sure he wants to ply his trade in England. However, that is the type of forward we need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthheart Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Did nothing at yeovil then scored the goal that practically sealed our relegation haha. Bastard. By all accounts he was excellent at Walsall though. I don't think there was much any forward could do in that Yeovil side this year. .

Imperial Pints Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Probably not a popular opinion around here but I wouldn't mind signing Dario Vidosic.

Why would Vidosic be unpopular? I think we are already well serviced for players in his position though. However if Mooy goes overseas... Out and out strikers and full backs need to be the priority.

Murfy1 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Davutovic reckons we are the front runners for Franjic in his blog today   Yep:   Davutovic: Franjic is back in Melb training. I suspect he will not sign anywhere for another few weeks at least, as he is in no hurry. My bet is A-League though and Melb City the favourites.  Given that the club almost signed him in January, and that Franjic is back in Melbourne training, I'd say things are looking fairly good ATM with Franjic.   I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the idea of signing Zullo. There aren't that many decent Australian LBs, and Zullo has 10 Socceroos caps for a reason.  He has had an ACL injury for the whole of this season, but apart from that 1 injury Zullo really hasn't had too many injuries. With the A-League salary cap teams can't be too picky, and IMO Zullo, Kisnorbo, Chapman, Franjic would be a really strong A-League back four. Also, just look at Kisnorbo as an example. Kisnorbo had multiple knee, Achilles and soft tissue injuries, and he's ended up being a solid salary cap signing by the club. Zullo could possibly be the same.   An international marquee who's a winger would be pretty perfect for this team IMO, especially if Mooy sees out his contract and remains for next season. I'd say a right winger like Ben Arfa would be a pretty perfect signing. Some other wingers out of contract at season's end who might fit the bill include: Andrey Arshavin, Jose Antonio Reyes, Bryan Ruiz, Florent Malouda, Juan Vargas and 'Danny' (Danny Miguel Alves Gomes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the fact he decided to stay at relegated Fulham and play a season in the Championship suggests to me that he has a good frame of mind and playing 30+ games in that league means you've got an adequate level of work rate so I think he'd slot in very nicely here. Can play centrally or wide too.

I agree on the point you make about staying with Fulham and playing in the Championship. IMO that shows a strength of character. In many ways I'd prefer that sort of person playing for City over someone who leaves a club if it's relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriente Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) have read Theo might leave brisbane, what would you guys think of him, or are we happy to have Tando as number 1? Â Would take in an instant. Â 4 premierships, 5 championships in 10 seasons in the A-League. Melbourne boy, 3 time A-League goalkeeper of the year. Â edit: 9 seasons actually. 8 if you include this year where he's played fuck all games. Edited May 6, 2015 by loriente Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthheart Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Might be in the minority here but Id keep our goalkeeping stocks the same as they are for next season. Redmayne would go if he was coming off contract but Tando has been as good as any other keeper this year imo. Vuckovic probably being the best. Would not have been saying this at the beginning of the season but with Tando stepping up Redmayne is an ok number two in this league. If Vuckovic became available go for him and try to move Redmayne on. But outside of that leave it as is imo and focus on getting in some fullbacks and wingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
