neio Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Positives We get an aleague high quality player He would be ready to go straight away Wazza and keogh know each other Goal scorer Negatives Bruno is in opposition colours Verdict Negatives far outweigh positives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityBoyz Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Keogh is classic Joyceball lop it to the centrefoward lone ball to the striker English 1980’s. lol. Got rid of every ounce of creativity. Out of any striker we choose a grub of a player and why would he want to leave top of the league side. if this is true we well and truly have Joyce ball English style long ball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I just don't understand Melbourne City. Just looks like panic stations to me. A manager and a marquee player who have harsh words and can't resolve it over a beer and a handshake? Worse than two kindergarten kids squabbling in a sand-pit. FMD, if Joyce can't get on with Bruno, how on earth does he think he'll get on with Keogh? The whole world and all we can find is Keogh? I'd rather persevere with Wales. Hopefully, Popovic and Keogh will squash the idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely no Bruno. ...but disagree on your assessment of just a long ball striker. Didn't he score a shitload of goals with Castro supporting/supplying him? If it's true and our other new player is finally a proper creative #10, then it may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartOfCity Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I rate Keogh and would take him over the nothing we have at the moment. Ideally this wouldnt be a thing but the Wazza and Bruno have left us no choice. Not sure Keogh is the replacement we all want but right now its what we need.

Lots of business is done around games - let’s say they were in Melbourne to negotiate with either a player or club and they have been invited to visit the game.

Missing_Moy Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) To be honest we need to sign players that have been playing regular football up until now otherwise with Joyce’s super fit and hard training policy we won’t see them play untill next season!

Hopefully, Popovic and Keogh will squash the idea. I think the thing here, at least from how it looks to me, is that its not about a squabble or not getting on with each other at all. It's that Joyce sets these standards within the group that have to be met, and to him it doesnt matter who you are or what you've done, you have to meet the standards or you will be duly dealt with. The ultimate example of treating all squad members equally if you like. The issue with this is not everyone produces the same output with the same input, and those that produce more output with less input get annoyed about having to do the same as everyone else, esp when it impacts the players comfort levels. Kind of like how a tradie gives all the shit jobs to the apprentice and doesn't think they should have to do that hard work any more than on occasion as they've been there done that. I'd guess from Joyce's point of view its not about reconciling anything, its about the player meeting the standards full stop. In that respect i don't think he's being at all petulant or even unreasonable; his issue is that that approach has its inherent flaws, and his apparent man management issues are exacerbating that even more.
