If Maclaren signs and does become Marquee that to me is exactly what is wrong with the A League. A talented youngish player has a couple decent seasons in the A League heads off to Europe, struggles, gets loaned struggles, then gets rewarded with a lucrative contract back in the A League for basically not making it in the big time. We are rewarding mediocrity and limiting the potential. Oh and don't get me started about the sausage stand. Not off topic at all, your second paragraph outlines exactly why I have my doubts that he worthy of multi year marquee deal. Just come back to Australia, reset your career and proof you are worthy - Bruno wasn't marquee in his first season either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those for Maclaren are a couple of years ago. Not a valid comparison. Those are the stats when he played in the A-league. Very relevant in my opinion because if they are not then Bruno's aren't either. Anyway, time will tell, we just have to see how he performs with us for the rest of the season. Dont forget that he beat Bruno to the Golden Boot in 16/17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 This has been a farce for at least the past 48 hours. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't sign anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys (not all, but probably most) hit a rough spot they don’t dig in and try harder, they pack up and head somewhere easier. That’s not how the golden generation did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityBoyz Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 It will typical city that this deal falls through just like the Ross with Aston Villa and Troisi deal.

Dylan Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Quote All applications to register a professional must be submitted by the new club to the new association during one of the registration periods established by that association. All applications shall be accompanied by a copy of the contract between the new club and the professional. Equally, a copy of the transfer agreement concluded between the new club and the former club shall be provided to the new association, if applicable. A professional is not eligible to play in official matches for his new club until an ITC has been issued by the former association and received by the new association. 63 Annexe 3a 2. Upon receipt of the application, the new association shall immediately request the former association to issue an ITC for the professional (“ITC request”). An association that receives an unsolicited ITC from another association is not entitled to register the professional concerned with one of its clubs. 3. Upon receipt of the ITC request, the former association shall immediately request the former club and the professional to confirm whether the professional’s contract has expired, whether early termination was mutually agreed or whether a contractual dispute exists Some light reading. So as I read that. WE have to issue an ITC and request an ITC which has to be issued by the previous club (Hibbs, Damstart). So, there was another reg I was reading before this and it states that the ITC's must be issued by the deadline of the NEW association (we are the new association) So what this tells me is that our deadline is midnight on the 31st (tonight) which is 1pm UK time (I think) which means if hibs cant get their target done and then release McClaren by 1pm UK time on the 31st (which is mid night tonight for us) then its curtains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I really really hope we don't go for Taggart, I don't rate him at all. I reckon I could finish better than him.

rass Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Apologies if this has been asked a million times before, but is this period a transfer period or registration period? i.e. once the deadline has expired tonight, we can't get any transfers done.. but can we still sign free agents who don't have a club or is that it completely?

HeartLand Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I hope we get J-Mac but its gonna be really tough. The ball seems to be in Hibs/Reading's court, they've gotta get McNulty which isn't entirely in there control. We've just gotta pray Reading accept an offer. If not we'll probably just have to survive with what we have for the rest of the season and try to finish for 3rd. Life could be worse.

So, Hibs has to cancel the loan deal with Darmstadt and then Darmstadt have to loan him to us. Darmstadt have to issue the ITC (like an application) before our window shutting, which is midnight tonight. The issue is that ours seems to close earlier than any in Europe and the closing dates and times are set by the local association.

Interesting thought. If the A-League’s transfer window closed the day after most European leagues’ windows do you think we would be able to get better quality signings? ie players who were looking for loans/transfers but they fell through 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
