As a 28 year old playing in Australia, I don't like his chances. It would be interesting though to see him playing at a higher level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree that if its a signing that the FFA want but the club doesnt or they are lukewarm about then, yes i completely agree the FFA should pay for it or at least subsidise the club. But this all came about because people were complaining that the FFA wont help us pay to keep Bruno here. And after last night i will say that i was completely wrong about this. The club, the FFA, the fucking state and federal governments need to do everything in their power to make sure he stays. Tear up passport pls.

At the point that he is playing in a league they've heard of and rate. Now I think they should be looking at him for a squad, but can't imagine they actually are. Remember their first choice striker is at a little club named Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Suarez hold the record for most goals by a single player at AAMI Park? No. Does Bruno? Yes. Has Suarez ever been joint winner of Melbourne City's player of the year award with Aaron Mooy? No. Has Bruno? Yes. How many goals has Suarez scored for Nacional? 10. How many has Bruno scored for Nacional? 19. How many goals has Suarez scored in the Spanish second division? 0. How many has Bruno scored in the Spanish second division? 2. How many World Cup red cards has Suarez received? 1. How many has Bruno received? 0. How many times has Suarez been caught biting an opposition player? 3. How many times has Bruno been caught biting an opposition player? 0. Has Suarez been found guilty of racially abusing an opponent? Yes. Has Bruno? No. There you have it. Bruno Fornaroli is a significantly better player/human being than Suarez and should be starting every game for Uruguay. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 You can see Bruno's hunger to win and its visceral ... Its something that we haven't had at this club before and given he's also got skills to pay the bills, he may very well win us the finals comp off his own boot.

Probably because he scores every game! Yes, there's nothing like repetition to reinforce a memory.

Murfy1 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 First class attitude. BTW the full interview is in the Audio and Video thread: Fornaroli reveals secret to success, Sorensen hails City's recovery By Michael Huguenin 18/04/2016 There is a simple reason why Melbourne City's gun striker is flying in the A-League, while their goalkeeper was thrilled with how they responded against Perth Glory Melbourne City striker Bruno Fornaroli has revealed his secret to finals success, while goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen described Sunday's win over Perth Glory as "top notch from start to finish". Fornaroli again hogged the headlines after his impressive brace in City's 2-0 triumph at AAMI Park, with the Uruguayan executing an overhead kick in the first half and curling a free-kick into the top corner of the net in the second to send his team into the A-League semi-finals. The two goals took Fornaroli to 25 in his debut A-League season and the 28-year-old explained a positive frame of mind was critical for him in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the finals. "I'm enjoying [my football] with the fans, I'm enjoying with my team-mates - this is perfect for me," he told reporters on Monday. "I think when you play the final, you need to enjoy [it]. This is the secret." Fornaroli seemed slightly bashful when discussing his bicycle kick that gave City the lead in the 40th minute on Sunday's elimination final. But the former Sampdoria and Panathinaikos forward claimed the hosts took control of the match following his opening goal. "I think the team worked hard yesterday, very hard," Fornaroli said. "When you don't have a second opportunity, you need to work like this, and I think team worked very good yesterday." City's response after losing their final two matches of the regular season was impressive against Glory, who had beaten Fornaroli and Co. in the penultimate round. Sorensen was thrilled with how City recovered at home and claimed he is looking forward to another chance at revenge versus premiers Adelaide United on Friday night. Adelaide defeated City 2-0 on April 8 to eventual lift the Premiers Plate. "We had a little bit of a sticky patch come the end of the [regular] season, so it was important to get things back on track and I though the performance [against Glory] was top notch from start to finish," Sorensen said. While City lost at home to the Reds in the last round before finals, they have triumphed in both meetings in Adelaide this season. http://www.goal.com/en-au/news/4021/a-league/2016/04/18/22511442/fornaroli-reveals-secret-to-success-sorensen-hails-citys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illeatyourheart Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've been trying to go through Uruguayan news sites to see if Bruno is attracting any attention in relation to their national set up. There's not a lot I've found so far, but this one mentions his national team prospects. http://www.marca.com/futbol/resto-america/2016/04/17/5713cc62268e3e95158b45bd.html Quote A pesar de sus cifras, parece poco probable que Óscar Tabárez le tenga en cuenta de cara a la Copa América Centenario que se disputará el próximo verano en Estados Unidos. El delantero del Melbourne City ni siquiera se ha estrenado con la celeste y no parece que Australia sea el escenario propicio para llamar la atención del técnico 'charrúa'. (Despite his (scoring) numbers, it seems little likely that Oscar Tabarez has him in mind for the Centennial American Cup which will be contended next summer in the US. The Melbourne City striker hasn't ever made his debut for the sky-blue (Uruguay nation team) and it seems that Australia is not the ideal stage from which to call attention of the Uruguay coach.)
