Falastur Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Malay names are constructed similar to Icelandic convention. Saf's name is Muhammad Safuwan bin Baharudin.Fair enough. Iceland were the only country I'd come across before, but clearly there are others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 We've barely got enough fit players for a squad to face Manchester City and Edgeworth at the moment unless we call on some of our NPL players. Going on what we're hearing from the club (almost nothing) our recruiting seems to have pretty well dried up. IIRC most European transfer windows are open and ours is open until 31st July so we ought to be getting a move on especially with the remaining visa players.

Our back for would probably be Franjic Kisnorbo Chapman Clisby. And only Hoffman as depth. No centre backs or left backs at all, even Garuccio who can play there but is a natural winger is injured.

No centre backs or left backs at all, even Garuccio who can play there but is a natural winger is injured. If Chapman or Kisnorbo cop an injury we're in big troubleThe problem that I see, with the central defenders at least, is that we'd be pretty committed to starting the season with Chapman and Kisnorbo there. So the only option that I can see is to get a Safuwan or Jaliens type (or a couple) that can play a variety of roles, to provide the depth at centre back. Preferably someone who's also good enough to start at left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Clisby as back up left back is reasonable but not great. As centre back though? Rather see maycon make a return than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Over the past 5 weeks the club has announced one signing every week, except for the week that Redmayne's departure was announced. So I'm pretty sure we'll hear something next week. The CBA negotiations grinding to a halt must have slowed down Melbourne City's, and all other A-League clubs', recruitment, at least somewhat. As it was reported last week "Clubs are growing increasingly frustrated about the lack of clarity, particularly as they set about shaping their playing lists for next season" and "Melbourne City had to sign Ivan Franjic to the terms and conditions set out in last season’s contracts" (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/a-league-collective-bargaining-agreement-talks-could-result-in-melbourne-victory-re-signing-archie-thompson/story-fni2wcjl-1227411668544). On Clisby, over his senior career he's played CB more than LB. He's more than capable of filling in at LB, but it's the centre-back position where Clisby won the WA's best state league player award before joining Perth Glory (where he played as both a centre-back and a LB). Agree about the slim pickings with Australian A-League free agents. Which is why I'm pretty pleased with the Australian players we've signed, Franjic, Gameiro, Kuzmanovski, as I reckon they are in the first rank of Aussie players available. If the club can keep on signing the very best Australian players, and in particular the very best young Australian players, then Melbourne City could establish itself as the main destination for up-and-coming Aussie players. And that would pay off dividends for years to come, well beyond the value of the particular players we sign this pre-season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
