Matinclattenberg1 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Mooy isn't leaving in this window. He's waiting till seasons end because of his daughter. franjic was injuried last week so he's not going anywhere Paartalu is on the way out after they got a transfer offer from an Asian club. Don't know which club, said to be leaving in the coming weeks. That's why we want malik, to play him as DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be money that persuades the club to sell, because they simply don't need it. Unless a player goes directly to the club to say he wants to leave right now, there will be zero chance they leave before the summer. Also there is no way the club are going to pull all three out of the team for an important game like Sydney, just because they received some offers. Conspiracy theory comes to mind. Malik is better anyway. What else you got? Edited January 2, 2016 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post also said no offers had been accepted. Until a deal is agreed, players will keep playing for the club where they are. Now I have no knowledge of where he has got his info from, but I do not see the club selling Franjic and Mooy before the summer. Simply because the owners want to see the team succeed. It may be different with Paartalu, if as it seems likely we sign Malik. However, I will still be surprised to see him move back to Asia.

I didn't see his first post when he says all three were left out because of offers received. So he is clearly linking the two which I don't believe would happen. Also he says that Mooy wants to be sold, but stay in Melbourne until the summer. Okay, we will sell you in the summer. So why would he be left out if not injured? Would Franjic really leave to go to a second rate league in Europe before summer? I was also under the impression Paartalu didn't enjoy his stint in China. Would he really want to go back to Asia? He may have a source, but doesn't say if it is inside info on the two posts I have read. I just think the three players mentioned would rather see the season out with us to see if they can win something. I will hold my hands up if they do move before the summer.

Shahanga Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Need to remember Williams was left out as well. Would CFG sabotage a game by leaving 4 players out for commercial reasons?

jw1739 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I can't see City leaving out players without good reason. A look at the table shows that we're the most entertaining side in terms of goals by a big margin. Six of the teams are barely getting one goal a match. And despite our defensive woes we're equal with the top two sides on goal difference. So I can't see them deliberately hurting the image that we're slowly building. A huge record crowd for Big Bash across the road and we still got over 10,000 for our match - OK not wonderful, but deserves a credit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 So my seat wouldn't recline properly on my Etihad flight from Manchester to Abu Dhabi and I got bumped up to business class as there was no more space in economy. Anyway, I was conveniently seated next to a prominent CFG personality (don't think there was any first class on this flight hence why they were in business class). Can confirm Mooy is gone. A-league transfer record broken. Will be most likely playing in the Premier League next season but of course no one can say for sure with promotion/relegation especially this season. Would be surprised if his team weren't in the Premier League next season though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact of the matter is that all three players are contracted to the club and whilst I am sure they wouldn't want to stop them if they can enhance their careers, what will be paramount is success for Melbourne this year. So that is why I am 100% sure they will all see the season out. Our owners don't have to sell because they have plenty of money. I also question if Paartalu would want to go back to Asia, especially has he has over two years on his contract. Also do you really believe the club is going to withdraw three players from our team on the basis they have had offers from other clubs? It simply wouldn't happen. Contracts mean nothing $$$$ mean everything!!! If you got poached from one of your work rivals and they offered you an extra 30k would you say no i can i have a contract? Yes you do withdraw players providing the players wants to entertain the offer!! If the player has no interest in the offer they play ..... simple!!!

belaguttman Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) It was interesting to read Steven Gerrard's comments that he now wishes that he'd spent time getting his coaching licences rather than wasting it in pubs and that Liverpool offered him nothing and had no pathway in place to retain valued players and help them with the next phase of their career. City could take a leaf from a cycling team like Drapac that take on riders on the condition that they are studying or learning a trade and assist them to make that transition at the end of their professional careers. We should be targeting specific players and offering them long-term deals (like we have done with Clint Bolton) that ties them to the team long-term in return for professional security after their playing days are over. We should have a coaching academy not just a playing academy. It would be a great way to keep players like Franjic or even Mooy long-term Edited January 3, 2016 by belaguttman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
