Deeming Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Quote Bruno Fornaroli will be staying at Melbourne City after signing a marquee deal but coach John van 't Schip isn't prepared to comment on Tim Cahill. By aap.com.au Tim Cahill's anticipated arrival at Melbourne City remains a sensitive topic, but the A-League title hopefuls are happy to talk about Bruno Fornaroli. Fornaroli is back, he's in great form and he's staying on an improved deal. He has five goals in pre-season friendlies against state league opposition in the past fortnight ahead of Tuesday night's FFA Cup match against Perth-based Floreat Athena. City offered last year's A-League leading scorer an improved deal to stay in Melbourne before he returned to Uruguay on holidays in May. Fornaroli has yet to sign the contract, which would see him rise to marquee status under John van 't Schip. But City fans shouldn't be fearful that was a sign he could still depart the club, van`t Schip saying the deal had been agreed. "Bruno's here and we're happy he's back," he said on Monday. "We're definitely going to sign him up as a marquee player. Cahill's contract is another matter. Follow Bruno Fornaroli ✔@BFornaroli Great to welcome two old and successful friends in Melbourne! Nice to see you both @diegogodin y @velazquezemi ! 10:33 AM - 1 Aug 2016 Reports of his imminent signing have yet to come to fruition, though it's understood terms have been agreed between Cahill, City and the FFA for the Socceroo to join the club as a full-season guest player.Van 't Schip agreed he would be a fine acquisition but wasn't prepared to pre-empt Cahill's decision."Who wouldn't like to have him in his team? He's proven (himself) every time and again," he said. "We all know his qualities on and off the pitch. He's a great football player. More, I can't say." Former Socceroo Neil Kilkenny isn't a part of the travelling City squad after suffering a minor foot issue.

I'd like to see him (as his English improves) become the face of what the club stands for. If this guy was seen as what our club is all about I'm sure more and more people will walk through the doors. Think of the way Hawthorn has showed off the qualities of Hodge, Mitchell and Roughead.

IMO based only on unsubstantiated speculation, he's here because his first contract requires him to be, but he is waiting to the last minute for an offer to have his transfer fee paid.

Wow now that's definitely half empty. I'm leaning towards he has already actually signed that is agreed. And that the club is waiting for whatever reason to announce it as some big promoting campaign. Maybe announce Bruno's new deal. Then Cahill and then big Marquee announcement to top the lot and get everyone excited. But then again maybe your right and ignore my wishful thinking. Ahh sigh pre season sucks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look at his twitter posts to deduce that, not to mention JVS confirming it yesterday.

Dylan Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) TUNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Melbourne City FC has elevated record-breaking Uruguayan striker Bruno Fornaroli into a marquee position in the Club’s Hyundai A-League squad on a new three-year deal. Fornaroli, 28, had a year remaining on his existing contract until the conclusion of the 2016/17 season; however, the player has committed his future to the Club, signing a new deal with City until the end of the 2018/19 season. The skilful attacker produced a standout campaign for City last season, becoming the quickest player to 11 goals, the first player to 20 goals in a regular season before breaking the A-League record for most goals scored in a season, with 23 goals. Finishing the season with 25 goals in 27 matches, Fornaroli’s double in City’s Elimination Final win over Perth Glory, including an incredible over-head kick, capped off an impressive inaugural season. Fornaroli said he was delighted to sign on for three more years and said his ambitions matched the Club’s ahead of the 2016/17 season. “I am really happy to be with this Club; my first season was very enjoyable, but I want to stay here, hopefully improve more and help the team be successful and achieve its potential,” Fornaroli said. “The players, coaching staff, the facilities and the support provided to players is amazing. It is a very professional and family friendly club, which plays the type of football I like to play and this is where I want to be. “My family and I have been made to feel very welcome; we love the Club, the city, the lifestyle, the culture and Melbourne, but first and foremost I am here to play football and win for this Club.” Head Coach John van’t Schip said Fornaroli’s passionate and professional approach made him a central figure within the first team. “Bruno is so important to us; the way he plays, the way he fits into the structure, his leadership and work ethic make him very important to us. “Last season Bruno demonstrated his ability, making a significant contribution to the team and playing in an entertaining and determined way. He not only scored a record number of goals, but he provided an important link between attack and midfield.” Awarded the A-League’s Golden Boot, Melbourne City’s and Goal Australia’s Player of the Year accolades, Fornaroli netted five braces and a hat-trick in the regular season.
