wfc_10 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 39 is Ali Eyigun, he started when we drew with Sydney 2-2?, but got subbed after about 30 mins when we changed from 4-3-3 to 3-5-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly somethings going on here if our main players aren't training. I mean preseason has started for fuck sake. Why wouldn't they be here? Absolutely no excuses unless the club has failed to sign them on for next season. God imagine if we lost Bruno, Mooy, Sorenson, etc. How the hell do they expect to replace them with only a few months to go. And then JVS is still here so that means we'll get off to a shit start again this season. And then we were told we'd be getting this amazing assistant from the EPL instead we get rejects from the aleague. Safe to say we're fucked this season, totally fucked. And the worst part is the season is only a few fucking months away. Disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this has happened before. Correct. As I've been told. And as can be seen on social media (e.g. on Sorensen's Instagram; he's still in Europe). I believe the Visa players are due back in a few more weeks (don't know how long exactly). Looks like every player is pretty much fit ATM--a pleasing way to start pre-season. Good to see Gameiro back. Unclear if he's doing full training, but good to see him back on the pitch kicking a ball around. Also I think I saw Caceres around 2.25 minutes in the latest video (in the background to the left of Kamau), but it's hard to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pm37 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 From Melbourne City website looks like visa players will be back training in a fortnight. John van’t Schip and his new look coaching team got back to work on the Academy Pitches as the side’s Elite Pitch is resurfaced ahead of its gruelling schedule. Senior Assistant Michael Valkanis and Assistant Joe Montemurro took the reins during the opening session as the boys got the ball rolling before the intense conditioning sessions in the coming week. A raft of new faces hit the pitch in City colours for the first time on Monday with Manny Muscat, Bruce Kamau and Daniel Arzani meeting their new teammates for the first time. A number of NPL and NYL players will also join the pre-season squad as John van’t Schip prepares the group for its first practice matches towards the end of July and the Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32. With a long four month pre-season ahead, a range of international representatives and visa players will make their return to the training track in the coming fortnight as they return to Melbourne to begin their 2016/17 journey.
