jw1739 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I've gotta say, as excited I am about us re-signing this guy and how much I love him, it is pretty bloody unprofessional by the club to let him run riot on Twitter. Like don't get me wrong I hate the secrecy of CFG, but if they are serious about it they would surely contact Harry and say "we want to announce your re-signing on x date and you should keep this to yourself until then". Instead the secretive CFG have allowed him to allude to and confirm his re-signing several times over social media. Looks pretty unprofessional tbh.For those of us who are not twitterers, just what exactly is he tweeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 What I find encouraging is that if, as Harry is saying, he has been signed and MCFC are not announcing it, it may mean that they a going to make a BIG media announcement of a few signings (I hope)Been told that there will be a a big announcement of new signings and resignings during this week by a few construction workers of Mediterranean decent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeming Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Harry Novillo Signs Permanent Dealimage: http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/di/library/Melbourne_Heart/3f/49/h-novillo-resigning_qaajpq811x11m2a61jsqsg3p.png?t=11020049581/1 Tuesday, 30 June 2015 -@MelbourneCity CommentsMelbourne City FC can announce it has signed Harry Novillo on a permanent two-year deal ahead of the Hyundai A-League 2015/16 campaign.Initially signed on a short-term contract until the end of the 2014/15 season, Novillo joined the Club in March this year as an injury replacement for Damien Duff, making 10 appearances for John van't Schip’s side.The 23-year-old quickly established himself in Melbourne City FC’s starting line-up, earning eight starts and netting three times in his 10 matches.An athletic, quick and dynamic winger, Novillo impressed fans of the A-League with a handful of influential performances, his appetite for goal and powerful finishing.With a strong physique and a willingness to shoot, the former French academy product netted a memorable goal from distance against Western Sydney Wanderers, while his last goal came in the 2-0 Elimination Final win over Wellington Phoenix.Head Coach van’t Schip said Novillo, originally a product of the youth system at French Ligue 1 side Lyon, had impressed since joining the Club in March this year.“Harry was an important player and contributor for us in the final three months of the season and illustrated his value to the team during that period,” van’t Schip said.“Despite joining the team in March, Harry was able quickly adapt to a new environment and make a positive contribution and he is an exciting player.“With Harry here from the start of the pre-season, we are confident that he will be able to give even more to the team next season.”Novillo commenced pre-season training with his teammates at the City Football Academy, Melbourne, on Monday.Read more at http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/melbourne-city-fc-sign-harry-novillo-to-permanent-deal/reg33pb2e6e21ddeb4meyzbgv#b2QxAq8PQ5YQv8bs.99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GreenSeater Posted June 30, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 About time! Novillo sticking around is for me the best announcement of the off season so far. He is exactly what this club has needed for a long time. Young, flashy, tallented, exciting to watch, not to mention the fans love him and he appears to love being here. Welcome back Harry! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 He is exactly the visa player everyone has been crying out for and was expected to be found given the CFG resources. A full pre season is going to do him a world of good. Golden Boot winner next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they didn't want to excite supporters for the 3984632964523 time then only to disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 i'm happy enough with the signing. showed enough last season given he had to hit the ground running in a team that was (a.) inconsistent, and (b.) gave shite service going forward. the over arching frustration on these forums towards so many 'poor performers' last season makes me feel that Novillo wasnt really the root of the teams general inconsistency. plus a two year deal is actually pretty decent since Novillo cant be pouched at the end of a good full first season, and if he goes poorly in the first half of the season we wont have that long to wait to move him on. given his positives (albeit at times inconsistent - but then most of his team mates were too), i cant see Novillo being that bad coming of a full preseason.since he is only 2nd visa player (with possibly Germano still to come) signed there is still plenty of squad space for quality imports to come in.

KSK_47 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have a feeling this guy will end the season with a mad highlights reel but i hope he can balance it with a bit more substance this season.

Nate Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Really important signing, this guy at only 23 with the playing pedigree that he has along with the glimpses he showed last season will be a massive asset for us. With a full pre-season under the belt, I think we'll find him playing a stronger team role (passing when there's clearly a better option and not holding the ball for too long) but we'll still get to seem him creating and playing with flair and freedom. Could easily score 10+ and set up more if he stays fit given his ability, really rapt about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Real pleased with the signing. In Novillo we'll get to see actual confidence and flair in the final third, with defenders regularly being taken on. That'll be a very welcome change from previous seasons. And IMO he'll help make our whole attack more confident and effective in the final third, just how nervousness and lack of confidence reverberated through our final third when Ramsay/Dugandzic/Mifsud and so on was on the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadete Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Pleased with the signing as despite sometimes having the flaw of being a bit selfish he def provides some X Factor to the side which can hopefully see us pick up a few points unlikely here and there. It’s also better to have these types as wingers where such flaws are less exposed.The only other I would say about him is that if someone put on the amount of fake injury crap that he does in my school team we all would have yelled at him to get up and probably eventually just stopped passing to him... it’s pretty fucken annoying.

Maycon started off with a lot of faking injury, fouls etc. and it stopped after a while...at about the same time he stopped getting a run incidentally.
