Manchester City has agreed to buy Caceres, the Mariners’ best player this season, for more than $300,000 and will loan him straight away to its Melbourne sister club for the rest of the A-League season. Sydney FC headed a queue of three other clubs that wanted to sign Sydneysider Caceres, 23, but it is believed Mariners owner Mike Charlesworth was reluctant to release or swap him once he realised Manchester City was prepared to pay a transfer fee. Caceres is understood to have signed a long-term deal with Manchester City, though his future beyond this season is unclear. If the deal is ratified in time, Caceres is an outside chance to make his City debut away to Perth Glory on Saturday night, but it is more likely to be delayed until Monday week’s home clash against Wellington Phoenix. Caceres’ wage will go into City’s salary cap, but Football Federation Australia does have the right to adjust the figure up or down, depending on the circumstances, where common ownership is involved, under rules introduced to prevent Melbourne City signing Frank Lampard from New York City. Talks continue with City marquee player Robert Koren about an early release and winger David Williams is edging closer to an overseas move. Melbourne City’s loan signing of Anthony Caceres could upset rival clubs.

It is understood the Rome-based club blocked Ikonomidis from playing for Australia in the Asian under-23 championships at the 11th hour. Ikonomidis, 20, made his first-team debut for Lazio in last month’s Europa League clash with Saint-Etienne. Meanwhile, Roda JC striker Tomi Juric (knee) is in doubt for the March World Cup qualifiers after being ruled out for at least a month. His injury could open the door for an Olyroos attacker to be called up.

Cityamatic Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 This is very interesting, given the FFA and its wacky 'make-it-up-as-you-go' transfer rules - particularly when it comes to us. Not sure if CFG have been told by FFA that this is acceptable as part of the whole thing to get us to bring in a big name marquee, or if we'll see another 'um...whatever City just did, we've just changed the rules so they can't do it again. So yeah. Go Sydney!' type rule change in a couple of weeks. As far as 'drawing the ire of other clubs', they can get stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday, 15 January 2016 - Michael Huguenin Comments Central Coast Mariners have confirmed they have agreed to terms with English Premier League Club Manchester City for the transfer of Anthony Caceres, though it's unclear if the midfielder will be loaned out to City's Hyundai A-League club Melbourne City. "We can't comment on [a potential loan move] but of course everybody knows he's a good player, he's one of the better players in the A-League. So we'll just have to see," said Melbourne City coach John van 't Schip when asked by reporters on Friday. Van 't Schip added that even if a loan deal for Caceres, 23, could be completed on Friday, he will not rush the play maker into his squad for Saturday night's clash in Perth. A product of the Mariners Foxtel National Youth league set up, Caceres inked his first professional contract with the club in 2012 and enjoyed a breakout season during 2014/15 that saw the crafty midfielder win the 2015 Mariners Medal. The Championship winning number 10 made 62 Hyundai A-League appearances for the Mariners along with three AFC Champions League campaigns. Caceres was plucked from Marconi Stallions by current coach Tony Walmsley who is looking forward to seeing the 23-year-old reach his potential on the world football stage. “We need to celebrate when players at the Central Coast Mariners are sold to bigger clubs. It's our charter. It's our intent,” Walmsley said. “When I brought Anthony Caceres to the Mariners his potential was obvious. This move demonstrates how far Anthony has progressed." Manchester City also purchased former Brisbane Roar midfielder Luke Brattan earlier this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 The Malik thread was premature but this is not a very complicated deal. Only one player involved, $300k into CCM's coffers and the chance to be part of CFG. The interesting part is the allocation of his wage.

JediCapitalist Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) When Arnie first scouted him before he left for Vegalta Sendai, he said Caceras will follow in the footsteps of Amini and Rogic. The boy has potential. Without Arnie, CCM never were able to continue the amazing record of development that he and McKinna had established in the clubs formative years. I think we have everything necessary though, and it's not too late for him. I'm excited to see where we take him.

Murfy1 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 City Signs Caceres On Loan Tuesday, 19 January 2016 Melbourne City FC has signed midfielder Anthony Caceres on loan from Manchester City for the remainder of the Hyundai A-League 2015/16 season. Caceres, 23, arrives at Melbourne City FC after playing 62 matches in the Hyundai A-League with Central Coast Mariners. He will link up with John van’t Schip’s squad this week and will be available for selection ahead of the Club’s Australia Day Eve clash against Wellington Phoenix, next Monday 25 January at AAMI Park. One of Australia’s emerging talents, Caceres began his career as a member of the Mariners’ Foxtel National Youth League squad, before signing a senior contract with the club in 2012. He was a member of the Mariners' squad during the club’s Championship winning season in 2012/13, before enjoying a breakout season during the 2014/15 campaign, featuring in 26 of the Mariners’ 27 matches on his way to claiming the 2015 Mariners Medal. Caceres, who signed with Manchester City last Friday from Central Coast Mariners, will wear the number 29 and will commence training with Melbourne City immediately. http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/city-signs-caceres-on-loan/xyob1l8519vq19a9wnyad672u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else was 'hoping' for a mutual termination of his contract. Everything is above board, including his pay being partly in the cap. Everyone else can cry me a fucking river... while on there knee's sucking our cock. We deserve this as much as any other club. In my opinion, Sentimental value went out the window 2 seasons ago.
