Quote “I wouldn’t have thought he’d be arriving for a medical” – Warren Joyce hoses down signing rumors By Joey Lynch Melbourne City Head Coach Warren Joyce responded to reports that his side is looking to add attacker Omar Eddahri on Friday, playing down rumours that the 27-year-old Swede’s arrival at City was imminent. Speaking at City’s Bundoora headquarters before his side’s AAMI Park meeting with league leaders Sydney FC on Saturday night, Joyce responded to reports from Swedish newspaper Expressen that Eddahri would soon be pulling on a City shirt. “We’ve looked at a number of people that are out of contract,” Joyce said. “Obviously, the window’s shut, so you’re looking at who’s available and not contracted to clubs. “There’s not that many that fit the bill really.” Asked point blank if Eddahri’s arrival was imminent, Joyce was quick with a denial. “No, no,” he responded flatly. “I wouldn’t have thought so, no. “We’ve looked, there’s been some dialogue with him, but I wouldn’t have thought he’d be arriving for a medical.” Joyce however did indicate that in the right circumstances his club would not be opposed to bringing some backup into a squad that sits third on the A-League table heading into Saturday night. “You’ve always got to keep looking around, who’s available really,” he said “See whether they could fit and add any value between now and the end of the season.“Obviously, every club looks to do that, but they’ve got to be someone that can play a part and contribute to the players that have worked their socks off all season. “It’s not like we’re looking for someone to replace Bruno (Fornaroli) or Ross (McCormack). “It’s more the fact that Connor Metcalfe and Ramy (Najjarine) have injuries that could see them out for a while. “You might see them as just kids, but we were looking at first team backup players so to lose them with injuries is a bit of a blow.” http://dailyfootballshow.com/i-wouldnt-have-thought-hed-be-arriving-for-a-medical-warren-joyce-hoses-down-signing-rumors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think Jako will go next season, especially if the 4+1 rule is coming in.

Thrillhouse Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Spiranovic, who has 35 caps for the national team, is currently in Melbourne receiving treatment for a hamstring injury, according to The World Game.

jw1739 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I don't have a specific opinion on Spiranovic because I don't know much about him. Hopefully though, if we are interested, we're putting the necessary thought into these recent signings and not just making them because someone happens to be available. There needs to be some planning behind what we do, not just ad hoc decisions. I'm sure I'm not alone, but I'm not over-impressed by the decisions taken with Brandan and Kilkenny, and I would have thought a good man manager should have been able to make something work with both of them until their contracts expired at the end of this season. If we don't put the necessary planning in place then we could end up in exactly the same situation again next season. I just hope that at some stage before I die that we will have an off-season when we will recruit a balanced squad that is to the manager's liking and matches his intentions of the way we wish to train and play in the following season, including five visa players, and two marquees who are demonstrably of marquee quality, that the squad assembles early and we play 10-12 pre-season matches when we fine tune our play and iron out difficulties. So that we don't find it necessary to release 6-7 players half-way through the season and make opportunistic signings to replace them. Lot's of other specific wishes, but the above would be a good start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did get fit he'd just start looking for an another overseas deal. Of course, Wazza doesn't like him so he's gonna go but I'd be more interested in developing and playing Tongyik, who has similar potential and who could get the franchise a transfer fee. I'd take Spira in his prime but that boat has sailed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would if we were paying Dean's wage + up to 20%. IMO Dean is not on a lot, hence the three year deal, maybe 100k absolute max, but more likely 70-80k. Young is the most in-form keeper in the league atm, but imo there's not that much between the top5 at the minute. He's certainly not of Vukovic's quality last season. Besides its a bit of an age old situation that the most in form keepers are in shit sides, due to the amount of practice theyre getting. I guess i dont see the upgrade on Dean as significant enough to justify much more than 120k a year deal, which imo he wouldnt come for.

Galekovic is 36. Can't see him going beyond next season. He's not amazing, but he's not bad either. Other than the derby penalty, I think its quite difficult to locate another goal he's conceded this season that is predominantly his fault. There's a couple of efforts you maybe wonder whether he could have done better (pen v Sydney, Mierziewski v Sydney) but those ones i'd argue weren't his fault for the most part, and if he was keeping those out on top of the ones he already is, he wouldnt be playing in the A League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
