Jovan Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 38 minutes ago, Tesla said: The money was meant to be for marquees, but when the first marquee worth using the money on, Cahill, came around, the only side that were prepared to sign him was us. Since we already had two marquees in the works, they created a 3rd marquee spot, but called it a "season long guest player" and to distinguish it from the current two marquee spots and give the obvious change in rules some credibility they decided the marquee fund was now a season long guest player fund. So if we had 2 Marquees lined up. Bruno obviously is 1 were is the other? It was either BS from the club to gain leverage or we actually still have Infact have this mysterious Marquee coming and as such we can't reveal Cahill until the 2nd Marquee is named. Clutching at straws. Probably. It's starting to really irritate me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutching at straws. Probably. It's starting to really irritate me. Maybe the club just wanted to keep the option open, maybe they had someone lined up and it fell through, maybe it's Kilkenny or Fernando and they needed the marquee spot for one of them to keep under the salary cap, or maybe a marquee signing is still coming. A lot of possibilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquee signing to come still remains the most likely though at this stage given the available evidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be shaping that way, although we do still have that extra visa slot open for a defender. Going to be an interesting month ahead.

Deviant Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 For some reason i'm thinking that we wont see anyone in that high paid spot until mid to late January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd mean the club would've gone 12 months with out having both marquee spots filled. With our finical backing that is simply not good enough. However, I'm confident we'll bring a new marquee in.

n i k o Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Im sort of continuing my rant from another thread, but we need defenders. If that means we bring in a marquee defender then so be it. The saying defences win championships is true for a reason, last season the perfect example. We've got Cahill coming so he'll cover teh publicity side of the club. Bring in a central defender thatlol dominate and control our defence and also a solid left back and then not even jvs can stuff this up.

Hopefully it's our Marquee. That just leaves the last visa spot. Is it used in the back 4 or is it a genuine #10. For me I would use our last 2 big signings in the back 4. So far I'm actually thinking the squad is looking pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually asked someone who's been a good source before(same one who said paddy was retiring and going into coaching, as well as Cahill if they could change the marquee rule) and have been given nothing on this one TBH.

Jovan Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Seriously hope we make an announcement this week. Can't go into a season without our full allocation of Marquee players and expect to achieve results. Also it must be CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvS is quoted as saying we're "looking" and we're "close" but TBH I don't know what to think at this point. I'm finding it a bit hard to believe that with our scouting system, CFG inter-club links, alleged pulling power etc. we couldn't have had all this all tied up by now.

If it's anything less than 4 weeks till the start of the season then I'll be disappointed if we haven't made all of our signings. But for all we know, they could be here already given that Brandan was here for a week or two before being announced Edited August 29, 2016 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
