Deeming Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'd be disappointed if Melling left. All teams need a tough nut with a bit of mongrel and Melling filled that slot nicely without being a dirty player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love his attitude but his actual ability leaves a bit to be desired.

You'd think we would want to have our full complement of visa players, meaning two more to come, but you never really know what City is thinking. IIRC the signing of the very big name was only ever referred to a couple of times in the media, and there have been absolutely no rumours as to who it is or might be. We do have 20 players in the squad, so we don't actually have to sign any more although you would think if we want to be competitive we ought to. Cahill if he comes would be a supernumerary. But that also seems to be dragging on and on. 70 days to our first league match though - still time I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloughie Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 In addition to the glaring weaknesses at the back, I think we have always needed a squaddie game changing forward that can come on in the last 15 mins. Roar's Henrique of course being a prime example. Sort of like a Davo, but more like a sharpshooter than a blind man wielding a blunderbuss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said the latter. We've got so many forwards and midfielders already that another AM is just going to push a quality player out of the starting line-up.

Murfy1 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Troisi reportedly joining an A-League club imminently, and it reportedly won't be Adelaide United: Socceroo James Troisi close to A-League deal VAL MIGLIACCIO 30 July, 2016 ADELAIDE-BORN Socceroo James Troisi is close to signing with an A-League club but it’s unlikely to be Adelaide United. It’s understood Adelaide did investigate the possibility of signing Troisi three weeks ago but negotiations went quiet. But an announcement of Troisi’s return to the A-League is imminent after his stint with Chinese club Liaoning Whowin went horribly wrong nearly two months ago. Troisi, 28, was deregistered by the club after former Adelaide United midfielder Dario Vidosic was signed by Liaoning after a run with Western Sydney last season. Troisi was resigned to training alone at the Chinese club’s headquarters knowing he couldn’t get a game given his club had filled its foreign quota. It will be Troisi’s second stint in the A-League after he was part of Melbourne Victory’s squad in 2014. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/football/a-league/teams/adelaide/socceroo-james-troisi-close-to-aleague-deal/news-story/d6749d6292f84595f8cb1589d95c4feb Also, Swedish player Erik Israelsson has reportedly attracted interest "from Melbourne in Australia", and his club might be forced to let him move: Revealing: Bajen may be forced to sell Israelsson - this is the clause Andreas Sundberg 29-07-2016 Erik Israelsson want to leave Hammarby. Bajen do not want to sell but may be forced because of a buy-out clause that reportedly Soccer Channel is 75 000, approximately 714 000 SEK. - I can not comment, says Mats Jingblad. With eight goals and two assists in 15 games, Erik Israelsson was one of Hammarby's most important players. Soccer Channel experience that the central midfielder wants to leave Bajen this summer, and the club may be forced to sell.Israelsson namely has a buy-out clause of just EUR 75 000 [$110,000 AUD], about 714 000 kronor, if any club from North America or Oceania want to buy him. - What is in the players' contracts, I can not comment, saying Hammarby's sporting director Mats Jingblad. Soccer Channel experience that during the summer has been interest in Israelsson, including from Melbourne in Australia, also Expressen has stated, and from Kuban Krasnodar who went out of the Russian top league. - There has been interest from various clubs earlier in the year, but right now there is nothing that is in the news, says Jingblad. In February extended Erik Israelsson contract with Hammarby, which extends to 2018, that's when he got into this clause. http://www.fotbollskanalen.se/allsvenskan/avslojar-bajen-kan-tvingas-salja-israelsson---har-ar-klausulen/ Edited July 30, 2016 by Murfy1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
