fiji19 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Im trying to think of ways to fit in Koren and Mooy realistically, but it isnt happening, I thought that maybe he could play a similar role to Broich at brisbane, starting wide and coming inside. But we dont even have a good full back to make runs into that space. Koren out, Asley Cole IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Heartspur Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Although being predominantly a #10, Van der Vaart can play anywhere from midfield forward. In fact, I'm fairly certain he even played a handful of games up top for Spurs. Â I would be surprised to see him come to the A-League at this stage. Sounds like there are still a few clubs around Europe that are interested in him. Edited June 3, 2015 by Pete Heartspur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 All I really care about is replacing Koren with a suitable marquee, what's the point in having truckloads of cash in a salary capped competition when you don't even capitalise on the one exemption? Sure, sexy facilities are great and all but what's the point when you've got the Korens of the world using them? Â That, and we probably need to replace at least half a dozen more players 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Ripamonti is gone and the rumor being that we are bringing in a whole new swath of medical staff from the UK and AU, I think our history with injuries might be a thing of the past in the future.     lol nah he will probably do the other knee here. Edited June 3, 2015 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpy Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Gameiro is a jet, hopefully he gets back to his best after the knee op. If we have him and Novillo cutting in from the wings I'll be happy as Larry. Franjic is a great get too. What's the goss with Koren, have we heard anything?

Can't be bothered looking through the thread. Of course we have heard nothing official except the five releases (Ramsay, Dugandzic, Wielaert, Jaliens and Duff) and two contract extensions for one year (Kisnorbo and Retre) - this is CFG we're dealing with.  It appears that Murdocca was released on 3rd May but not officially announced.  The following are out of contract (31st May) but there has been no announcement other than that there won't be any comment - Velaphi, Germano, Novillo.  No comment so far on new signings.  See http://www.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/city-begin-aleague-rebuild-with-cull-20150513-3vvlp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewmelbcity Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Koren is the key if we can move him on and bring in a striker as marquee, then we will give us a chance to compete for top two. If koren stays we will battling to just make top six again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silva10 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 If NYCFC have Villa, Lampard and Pirlo on their books, whilst we're stuck with Koren next season, then, well, fuck that.  IMO the FFA need to take the shackles off teams and allow more Marquees to be signed outside the salary cap. This will leave more money inside the cap to obtain better quality players.  In the US they are called DP'S and you can sign 3 of them, as well as up to 9 Visa players  I think the teams should be allowed to sign 5 Marquees, which two need to be Australian and allow up to 6 Visa spots overall in the squad.

Â Â I understand your concerns Rass, however it may also give impetus for people to come in and invest. Â The standard of the league needs to improve to attract more sponsor and fan interest. At the moment it seems that quite a few teams are struggling to sign the right quality within the cap, hence the Perth situation. Â I can't see players coming to and staying in the A League if the earnings are too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAndWhitePride Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Yeah, pretty much, rass. Some of the clubs in the league would be royally screwed if other clubs were able to sign more marquees outside of the cap, which at this stage, cannot happen for obvious reasons. Heart would have been worse off since we had owners that were so reluctant to spend. But yeah, all this doesn't detract from the fact that CFG have made a crucial error in their usage of the International Marquee spot thus far.

belaguttman Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 silva we need to balance the spectacle with the need to provide a development pathway for elite Australian players. On one hand we can retain top players longer of they are paid more, but we can't retain anyone of the clubs aren't financial. Unlike the UK where the EPL is financed by a great TV deal, here we definitely third priority for TV networks although we are making a case for a better deal during the next broadcast negotiations. Currently the league is financed by an amount equivalent to the Man City cafeteria budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Hopefully in time that will happen. Â It is also important for clubs to be able to retain these players when they turn 16. Even a lower league English team seem to be able to pay more than most A League teams. Â I understand the financial restraints most clubs are under, but the best way to improve any league is to bring in and retain quality players.
