It's a part of football you have to accept. I would have no problem if Bruno left to go overseas (would be fuming if it was another HAL club) and we got a few $Mil from it. But defines it is how the player leaves. The way it seems Joyce is acting has been anything but good. Then again.... Maybe Bruno is the one going on "strike" Why would another club pay a transfer fee for Bruno if he is out of contract at seasons end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Covert Agent can reveal City have told Bruno Fornaroli, Luke Brattan and Anthony Caceres they can leave the club, with Joyce keen to free up funds to sign Kearyn Baccus permanently and also to acquire another striker. All three senior players on the transfer list have fallen out of favour with Joyce over previous weeks as the Englishman attempts to instigate change at the club, with reports suggesting Fornaroli was unlikely to pull on a City shirt again.

Dylan Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Well the issue with this is, Caceras came in with Joyce at the helm, plus Joyce said last year he rather would have kept him. So if this is indeed correct. Wtf is he doing? Know I know Covert Agent always gets bagged but they are usually more right than wrong and with the Fornaroli thing they were first and correct. Why this rumor has more credibility is because this is the exact pattern that has happend under Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate the guy highly, I’m surprised forum members see the opposite..he might not be on par with Bruno in terms of goals but he’s much more of a clinical finisher, strong on the ball, and highly involved in build up play ( something Bruno lacks in ) till then they are just loose rumours, for all we know..Bruno will be back against next week for glory but tbh, it’s highly unlikely with everything going on i mean Berisha did leave after 4 Seasons at the scums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the details of the loan agreement. 2. Not necessarily. As long as we meet the squad minimum number. 3. Amounts paid to the date of any mutual termination count towards the cap. As do payments made to any incoming player(s). 4. If we pay a termination amount (i.e. the termination is not mutual) then the amount paid counts towards the cap.

neio Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Bruce djite is not a bad option if we had to get an Australian striker, but if we lose Bruno. We must go and find a VISA striker. Look at the top 6 from last season and who their striker was. Bobo, Odonovan, Fornaroli, Berisha, Absolonsen, Maccarone. All were overseas players.

Not happy with this situation at all and I have it on good authority that Bruno is a lot at fault here and as much as I love him he needs to fkn suck it up and say sorry to a few people at the club and I'm sure he'll be back out on the pitch.

Imtellingyou Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 What transfer list? We are fully into the season. There was a long off-season and pre-season. That was a time to sort out all players issues and personal likeings. The squad is not too bad and should stay the same till the end of competition. Only semi retired players are available in January to us. The club haven't done their basic duties. It's a massive disorganisation. Like, no one really cares what's happening down under. Look at Victory visa players. Honda and Swedish national team player. Honda will play more then 5 games, just to compare to Villa. We circulate rejected players from the bottom teams, hoping to find a golden nugget. All this is so much below the brands the club have in the name.
