Heartman Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 So Caceras has left? Any point of a 3rd tilt? I have always felt he still had a little more, and under the right situation could be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO doesnt have the steel or pace to play as a solid 8 and was average as a winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super sad to see Bart go, hopefully he doesnt turn up at another aleague club. I never saw what Baccus brought to the team other than backwards and sideways passing, but whether or not that was Joyce's fault I dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Baccus has been gobbled up by Melbourne Storm I heard, they were so impressed with his ability to pass the ball backwards and sideways. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Transfermarkt has him as mostly an attacking midfielder. I’m sure Le Patron will use him well. Genreau is one of the kids I’m most excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) A new rumour has just surfaced namely that Arjen Robben will be coming to Melbourne City next season. I know this because I am starting the rumour. Seriously though it would make a big statement if we could get him here. Maybe JVS could have a quiet word in his ear for us? This of course is a totally unsubstantiated rumour possibly made up by someone unknown which is why I expect to see it published in tomorrow's Herald-Sun.  Edited July 2, 2019 by TheStig 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the A League conundrum. You need a very good player yet he can't be too good or your just kidding yourself. If we land Luna or if Luna lands he will tear this league, a good couple levels up on Brandan and somwhere near Bruno pre injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Using the Bart money for Brillante....... Yes. At least he won't be passing sideways like a donkey.

Mr MO Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Interesting, Brillante on 500k - marquee or serious under the cap contract? No wonder there is no money to sign Bart and or Brattan. Are we finally going to have our money on the park with youth as fringe players?

No wonder there is no money to sign Bart and or Brattan. Are we finally going to have our money on the park with youth as fringe players? Honestly I’d prefer us to go develop more youth players than what we have seen over the past couple of years. Build a solid experienced core and then have youth players fill the remainder of the roster. With our manager having the level of youth development experience that he has, this should be a strategy that can pay off, especially with some of the talent that we have in the academy/youth set up. If this club wants to be taken seriously, we need to deliver a style of football that excites, and having quality youth talent on the park can be our X factor in that regard. Looking forward to it. Melbourne Victory may have had more success than us, but their youth development record certainly shows they have prioritised results over anything else. This is a chance to be a true point of difference, especially if the brand of football meets the high bar that the new manager has now set for the club.

Originalmeme Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 one more visa signing in the wing or midfield and we win the league! what a signing in Brillante. Gone under the radar for the past few seasons, integral to sydneys success. Finally, a decisive pre-season with results and quality in mind.     birra/booz galloway / rich/ delbo/ jamo     brillante/      genreau/ visa (other signing) noone/  jmac/  yoof/ signing/ wales idk for once, the hype building is genuine, we are putting together a seriously good squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I'm cautious. We need to see all these "transfers"Â unequivocally confirmed by the club - Baccus, Brillante, and the two Uruguayans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
