sharpy Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hopefully notI'm not against it if we can sign that player in January and his 14 games will take him all the way to a Grand Final. Only if he was definitely going to improve our starting XI.I haven't looked at if the fixture so don't know if that example is feasible.

Tesla Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) If we sign Pirlo on a guest stint we should tell JVS it's time to take his annual leave and just let Pirlo run everything for 14 weeks. Easy title. Edited August 13, 2015 by Tesla 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy title.But then we get to miss out on JVS press conferences pretending he knows what role and position will suit Pirlo best. Garunteed it won't be the right one.

NewConvert Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Does a guest player have to come in at the start of the season or can it be at any time? If the latter I would rather see how the season is going and then get an appropriate player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red or Dead Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I believe that for a player to be eligible to play finals, they have to play at least 5 regular H&A matches prior to the Finals Series so if we can get someone from Round 17 (inclusive), they can play 11 H&A matches and three finals (considering they'll help us make the GF).Rd17 we play WSW on Friday 29th at Pirtek Stadium.

Listen to Stelths Scoops !Mrcela, Herd, and others around the Socceroos level surely wouldn't trial. Not too mention can't see Mrcela or Herd coming to the A-League. Pretty sure Mrcela is moving forwards not backwards any way.Wilkinson, maybe because he is old, but still don't see why he would need to trial.Curtis Good probably the best player that you can see trialling, but I reckon he could get a decent Euro contract so don't see him coming to the A-League.But i'm pretty confident it's no one as good as those guys, it's most likely either some young player that was on the books of a European team and now wants to get game time (Cameron Burgess? Giancarlo Gallifuoco?) or someone that went to Asia and they don't want to pay them the big $$$ any more (can't think of any CBs off the top of my head?If I had to take a guess, Giancarlo Gallifuoco.

Murfy1 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Can't think of many club-less Australian defenders ATM. Giancarlo Gallifuoco and Rafa Jimenez are two possibilities. Otherwise I'd reckon it's probably just a youngster from the youth academy of a European club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illeatyourheart Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Seeing several Danish news sites in the last day again saying that Sorenson is Bundoora-bound.http://www.bold.dk/nyt/bt-thomas-soerensen-skifter-til-melbourneBT: Thomas Sorensen switches to MelbourneFoto: Getty ImagesA-LEAGUE19.08.2015 14:44 According to BT, the former national team goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen in the next two years playing for Melbourne City. Info BoxMelbourne Heart - Wellington PhoenixFFA Cup (26/08)Typical2,103,403,00bet3652,103,403,10bold.linksMelbourne HeartA-LeagueThomas Sorensen stopped after last season to Stoke City, and now the former Danish goalkeeper allegedly agreed with Melbourne City on a contract. It learns BT. BT writes that the contract will be announced within a few weeks, and it is about a two-year agreement. Melbourne City is owned by English Manchester City and changed its name from Melbourne Heart after the acquisition. The club plays its home games at AAMI Park, where there may be up to 30,000 spectators.http://www.tipsbladet.dk/nyhed/generelle/thomas-soerensen-taet-paa-offentliggoere-melbourne-skiftet Thomas Sorensen about to publish Melbourne shiftText: Torsten Kjems Hansen Already earlier this summer were the cards that the former Danish international goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen takes a stint in Australian football, and now has moved to Melbourne reportedly close to becoming a reality. Already at the beginning of July, it emerged that the former Danish national team goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen, who in virtually all his career has played in English club football, would continue his career in football in Australia with Melbourne City now club.At that time, Sorensen, who was 39 years old, in the midst of its nearly 6,000-kilometer bike ride across the United States, where he has collected for charity for sick Danish children and wanted in no way to comment on the story and keep the full focus on his charitable goal - even though the agreement virtually at the time should have been in place with the Australian club.Now Thomas Sorensen's bike ride successfully accomplished, which is also the reason why the story again emerged to the surface. This time it is BT, which announces that Thomas Sorensen is close to make the change a reality. Sorry about the formatting... I have no idea what I'm doing.Very interesting that the first one is reporting a 2-year deal though.Forgive my ignorance. What is BT?
