I don’t know a single T Matthew anywhere else. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluka Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Val Migliaccio reporting it's a done deal for next season. Very unusual for City rumours to get out, will be interesting to see how this plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unusual for City rumours to get out, will be interesting to see how this plays out. Next season makes a lot more sense, because Nabbout is on a one-year contract only. I couldn't see the point for this season, even if there was money available within our budget and the cap. Anywhere that Maclaren goes so likely does Leckie, and Cola is more than adequate to play in place of Nabbout if the latter is missing.

Could just as likely be Noone leaving, who is also off contact at the end of the season. Haters will say its oil money oil or salary cap fraud, but the fact remains, a lot of our squad are made up with young players who wouldn't be commanding high wages, this leaves us plenty of room to go hard where it counts. As well as that, in the autumn of their careers, I couldn't see Rostyn Griffiths or Jamo making obscene money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityBoyz Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I’d say Noone will probably go home back to the UK imo. Front 3 of Nabbout if he resigns Maclaren and Leckie 💦 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Excellent signing, I assume our two marquee spots are filled now. Leckie as playmaker perhaps, replacing Berenguer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 It wouldn't surprise me if it's Noone who is going home Nabbout Maclaren Leckie front 3 with a visa midfielder to replace Berenguer or possibly Luna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 more than anything, I'm hoping this makes it easier to keep Maclaren long term. They will get to train together every day, play together every week - as they are locked in for Socceroos when fit then that connection is gonna be massive. Could also help to keep Nabbout, but we can only have two marquees (and all three are worthy of that money) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Jamie signed a multimillion marquee deal. Correct. You can have two players who are paid outside the cap (who are not outside the cap elsewhere). It does not matter where they are from. But a visa marquee is one of the five allowed visa players. I would think that at least one of Noone, Maclaren and Nabbout will not be with us next season. As @malloy writes elsewhere, maybe it's JMac - there's been talk of him having one last crack overseas somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Awesome news! Great work @kingofhearts getting this deal over the line.

Imtellingyou Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Jamie and Leckie, that's even better than Bobo and Le Fondre. He's made an interesting choice at his age.  A 'part time' league, two months of not having training, no international exposure. Hopefully there is no 5 guests appearances clause. Impact on the attendance is hard to predict in this times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartFc Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Huge signing!! If we can keep Nabbout and Jmac I cant possibly see anyone keeping a clean sheet against us next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
