Don't talk shit about St Albans or you'll be lucky to ever be seen again.

 

absolute dump, played a game there as a junior and the bench was a bus stop

 

Judging by your posts on this forum I doubt you've ever played a game of soccer.

Franjic was on SEN last night and said:

 

You won't see me in the A-League this season.
 
[...]
 
I spoke to a few [A-League] clubs and they were all great. Obviously I was pretty much agreed with a club , but my [Russian] club did a big backflip and want me back now, so, that's football you know, you have to take it as it is and go back there.
 
 
It wouldn't surprise me if the club attempts to sign Franjic again. The club seems to target the players it wants to sign pretty heavily. The club made multiple attempts to sign Mooy before it secured him, and the club also tried to sign Paartalu multiple times over roughly a 12 month period before a deal was done.
 
So don't be surprised if reports linking Franjic and Melbourne City emerge at the end of the season.

Ivan came to my school today (he attended it when he was in high school) and talked to us and then asked if anyone had questions

I asked how close he was signing with Melbourne City

I got a few laughs from my Victory mates but Ivan said he was in talks with City and was close but his Russian team (Torpedo Moscow) wanted him back and he was obviously still under contract with them.

He did say he wanted to end his career in the A-League though.

deal was done and dusted unfortunately his club wanted him back. I suspect we'll see him next season.

Melbourne City FC can today announce that Socceroos defender Ivan Franjic has joined the Club ahead of the Hyundai A-League 2015/16 season on a three-year deal.

Franjic, 27, returns to his birthplace of Melbourne to join Melbourne City FC, where his career commenced at local Victorian clubs St Albans Saints, Melbourne Knights and Oakleigh Cannons. 

Franjic first broke into the Hyundai A-League in 2009 with Brisbane Roar, where he played 115 matches, won two premierships and three championships.

The defender was also selected in the A-League All Star team in 2011 and was recently named in the PFA Team of the Decade.

Regarded as Australia’s current first-choice right-back, Franjic was rewarded for his performances in Australia’s domestic competition with a call up to the Socceroos in 2012, making his international debut in December of that year.

Franjic has since been capped by his country 19 times, featuring in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and Socceroos triumphant 2015 AFC Asian Cup campaign.

After a short spell at FC Torpedo Moscow in Russia, Franjic joins Melbourne City FC and will commence training with the squad in late June.

The Club’s Head Coach John van’t Schip worked closely with the Club’s recruitment team to secure the defender’s services and said he was delighted to have signed Franjic.

“Followers of the A-League and Socceroos know of Ivan’s quality and ability, so to bring him in for next season is positive,” van’t Schip said.

“When we became aware Ivan was available, we were keen to bring him in to strengthen our squad.

“We believe Ivan is a great fit for the Club and has the ability and desire to help us build on last campaign.”

Commenting on his move, Franjic says he is looking forward to making his mark at the Club.

"Coming back home to Melbourne is very important. I will be playing first-team football which has been difficult over the last 12 months but now I can’t wait," Franjic said.

"Melbourne City are an ambitious club and they want success. These are the clubs I want to be at, that want to go out and win titles and that was a major reason for me coming here."
