Quote James Troisi set to re-sign with Melbourne Victory after almost moving to arch-rivals Matt Windley and David Davutovic, Herald Sun 25 minutes ago Subscriber only IN the most stunning about-face in A-League history, Socceroo James Troisi has re-signed with Melbourne Victory. Troisi completed a medical with City on Monday and was set to sign a contract to become the club’s second marquee player on Tuesday morning, but never fronted at its Bundoora headquarters. Instead he met with Victory officials, where a two-year contract was formalised, with the club’s interest heightened in the wake of losing Marco Rojas. The deal could be announced as early as Wednesday. Despite their interest in the attacking midfielder, and confidence they would attain his signature, City remained wary of Troisi given the saga around his search for a new club. This off-season the 29-year-old had already knocked back marquee wages from Victory, attracted interest from English Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion and completed a medical with Israeli club Maccabi Haifa. But despite their trepidation, City is still said to be stunned by the backflip, with preliminary plans for his unveiling this week having been made. The ordeal will fan the flames of the Victory-City rivalry ahead of October’s start to the A-League season. But Troisi will also have some bridges to mend inside Victory headquarters, given he had previously declined a verbal offer to be the club’s marquee - a deal which would have netted him close to $1 million a season. This contract - inside the salary cap, at least for the first season - is worth less than half of that. Both clubs declined to comment.

jw1739 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 It might not look too good for us right at this moment but IMO the Troisi no-show is probably for the best. The guy's antics with Maccabi Haifa and now us show that he's pretty unstable mentally. If we want to go down the visa marquee route I'm sure our scouts have plenty of people already lined up for consideration by the various clubs in the City Football Group. Move on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzureKingfisher Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 This gives me hope he won't sign with us. I mean why, when we have a marquee spot available, would we use it on someone who isn't quite good enough to command a marquee spot? He would have been a good signing when the rules mandated one marquee spot for an Australian player. But when City have such an extensive worldwide scouting network and the possibility of signing any player in the world who would want to play for us, why would we look to Troisi? The guy who Victory weren't convinced of as a marquee? To me, the most depressing thing to come out of this is that Troisi was nearly given our second marquee spot. I'm concerned that City have really lowered their sights and spending this season, and this signing would have been the clearest indication of that yet. Remember when we were mentioned with the likes of Villa and Lampard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 So we avoided a tool being signed We threw out a decent player And we got back a dk head. 33% success sounds about right. At least we are consistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
