charlibub Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Did this guy play in the Asian Cup final for WSW? If so surely that experience can only benefit a young squad. Even at the ripe old age of 27yo he could still have his best footy ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) I bet Trifiro is just a train-on, who isn't a real chance to get a deal for next season. Melbourne City is pretty open with regards to letting uncontracted players join the team for training, and I'm pretty sure Trifiro is a player who will train with the team for a while then move on.

Davy21 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hot on the heels of Josh Kennedy’s retirement, Melbourne City are in overdrive to secure an Australian marquee striker.Scott McDonald and even Tomi Juric are in the frame but the player for whom MCFC are prepared to break the bank is former Celtic and Greece international Georgios Samaras, who qualifies as an Aussie courtesy of his Melbourne-born father. Still aged 30, Samaras was unhappy at Saudi Al-Hilal and has returned to West Bromwich Albion for pre-season training nursing a back complaint.He isn’t wanted by coach Tony Pulis and his enormous following among Melbourne’s Greek community would have thousands of new fans flocking to City’s AAMI Park. Club owners are said to be pulling out all stops.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/transfer-rumours-samaras-city-maclaren-heads-east Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriente Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 This is why we shouldn't take the piss on this forum.

HahahaSeriously if we sign Samaras people may as well just cut and copy their complaints about Kennedy to save time as it will be the same old shit all over again except his worst and best games will be slightly further apart than Kennedy's.Celtic fans have written encyclopedias about the inconsistencies and scoreless patches of Samaras and his even older and slower now... I haven't seen McDonald play for a while but his style of play strikes me as much more A-League aligned.This is why we shouldn't take the piss on this forum. The club reads it and thinks we're being serious.Probably the reason Hoff has stuck around so long, given how popular he would seem on here to the uninitiated.I honestly have believed that for a while and the funniest thing about Hoffmania is that all started due to him buying some certain Under Agers some Alcohol, we should also remember that the so called "Maltese Messi" was mentioned as player who would bring in the droves (Like Samaras apparently will) on here first as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think too many PPL would be disappointed to see him go and his opinions on JA aside he surely must realise the club is trying to move on from the time when a player of his ability was good enough to start as a forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attack11 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 With all the rumours of potential signings I'm not to concerned by it. Reality is JVS needs to perform this season and take the club forward. It was clear that CFG want an improvement from last season and with the draw we were given, more pressure and weight of expectation is on his shouldersJVS needs to build a strong squad.. If that includes Samaras, Mclaren, Drogba, or whoever then that's what will get, either way he will live or die by those decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Regarding Scott Mcdonald, he plays more as an attacking mid than a striker these days AFAIK, and we really dont need an attacking mid. Could come here and play as a striker, not like we have anyone that can cross anyway. But JVS will probably play him on the wing because of JVS reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falastur Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sigurdsson is an extremely common Icelandic surname. My money would be on Hannes Sigurdsson, a 190cm, 32y.o striker who's bounced around Europe specializing as a target man who doesn't trouble the scored regularly. Right up our alley.Iceland doesn't actually have surnames. It's the only country in the world which retains the system of keeping your father's name as your second name, so someone being called Sigurdsson just means that their dad was called Sigurd. Hence, I guess, why there are so many of them. I took a look at Transfermarkt and it has about 10 Sigurdssons. Most of them are contracted, though, which doesn't leave many options. Your guy is a possibility, although that website believes he currently has an Achilles tendon rupture and will be out for the rest of July - this could just be out-of-date info, though. The other one with no club is called Kristjan Orn Sigurdsson, a 34-year old CB who has mostly played in Norway and has been out of contract since January. Come to think of it, though, I think your guy looks the more likely. That's supposing that we here any more of this guy at all, of course.
