I would have thought that he could be signed outside the transfer window, because he's been a free agent since the end of the English 2017/18 season. But would we want him? https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/the-highs-and-lows-of-gabriel-agbonlahor-goals-one-direction-dubai/ Yep, don't think we would even though he was good in his day. Just threw the name up as I'm trying to work out who the other player is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Over the course of the last month I have seen that in actually fact the club has absolutely no fucking clue about the connection the fans have to players. It's not just the Bruno scenario but other past scenarios behind the scenes. Which is then further proven through smaller details entailing being a member of this club. They clearly have their head up their own arses so far they can't see daylight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I fear that if we don't strengthen, we will be finishing fifth or sixth. Since this was where we were with Heart at our best, I'm struggling to see what CFG will have achieved other than kept us in existence. Which is hardly an achievement for them. Meanwhile they've seen support haemorrhage and supporters become disconnected and disillusioned. With West Melbourne on the horizon, this is the worst time to have our worst season as City. Now as others have said, we could in the next 24 hours see some key signings which will change that prognosis. But right now I am not optimistic... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we've got just under 28 hours left to actually make signings. I'm prepared to wait until the deadline has passed before getting too upset. I actually don't think that the emergence of West Melbourne (or the success of Melbourne Victory) will have a great deal of effect on support for and interest in City. IMO there's room in Melbourne, with its growing population, for four A-league clubs and for all of them to keep growing. The reasons we don't grow or stimulate interest are entirely of our own making, and are caused by the incompetence of our senior management.

A day or two ago, with the prospect of two or three attacking signings, I was tending to the unreasonably optimistic. We'll see what happens. And we'll still be there for Adelaide...
