Has been left out of the squad on a fair few occasions, but it does look an unlikely transfer to come here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart of Melbourne Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Rojas is a done deal for the tards. Time the city group announce the marque they have had under wraps for the last 4 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) So we appear to have signed Brad Clarke, bringing our squad numbers to 20, plus Cahill as a guest. Anyone know the details of Clarke? There was a rumour that we were also going to sign Crowley - any further news there? The limit of 23+3 plus guest is getting tighter. Edited August 25, 2016 by jw1739 Correction of number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the Davutovic article Clarke will be an injury replacement for Franjic. Didn't think he went too badly once he came on tbh.

Rose looks like he will struggle playing a high line, his ability to get up and down the pitch looked suspect from the get go. Malik garunteed a major fuck up every 2 games with some minor ones every game. Cant rely on Chapman then to make up for these shortfalls and he has some of his own. Right back position will be chopped and changed once JVS starts playing Muscat in CD and RB. Where is our visa defender that we desperately need. Fuck sake, JVS better do something about this.

Obviously we can say it fell through for whatever reason but in effect we have created this third Marquee position and not used it.

jw1739 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 IMO it's not FFA who will make the noise - they have their "bums on seats man" Cahill - it will be the handful of other clubs that opposed the full-season guest marquee. So I think we will have the second marquee if only to head off a lot of criticism. But every day that passes without any announcement on the remaining squad players creates more uncertainty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
