MHFC-FAN Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Bloke needs his own thread. Was a pretty decent debut today and could have gotten on the scoresheet. Think him and Arslan are going to form an exciting midfield pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Hack Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Good piece of business there. Good job Petrillo and good job Viddy playing him as a DM where I think he's found his place. He's not your traditional ultra defensive DM but does have good passing range 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanty Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Happy to get him on a permanent deal, as I feel he will only get better and better. Interesting to see that the club are starting to extend deals though, would make me think we have a permanent manager which hasn't been announced yet?

Mr MO Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 I can’t see anywhere on the formal communications now we’ve made him stay longer. Have we bought him and then gave him just a one year contract? or we’ve already committed to another loan season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we bought him and then gave him just a one year contract? or we’ve already committed to another loan season? The original deal was a loan until 30the June 2024, with an option to buy. We have now exercised that option and he has now been permanently transferred to us and has a contract until 30th June 2025. So yes, we have bought him and given him a contract until 30th June 2025 Had we not exercised the option he would have returned to his parent club at the end of the current season. So he is staying longer than might otherwise have been the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B. Cooper Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 His message to fans sounds genuine. To be honest that’s the only thing that makes sense. If he was unhappy football wise he wouldn’t have signed the permanent deal, so it does seem like something has turned to shit back home.

jw1739 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 We're not done yet. But it needs a lot more to turn it around than we've seen so far. Another month like we are and I'd be expecting Vidmar to make some big calls and change the starting line-up. Just grubbing out miserable performances is not building for the future.

And this is his big test. Does he keep the starting line up because he sees progress (and I don't) or does he become ruthless and tell them that they need to ship up on the bench?

If it's still the same old, same old, after that I think he should be making the big decisions. Of course a lot depends on whether he will want to continue or not. He has a bit of a history of volatility and may decide he wants out himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, Mr MO said: Line up will be similar, he’s got no options with all the absences. Yeah, nah. Caputo starting, Jmac comes on at the 60 minute mark. Galloway to the right, Talbot to the left - my pref Talbot out but not sure who is available from the youth squad. Antonis to start, Lopane to the bench. Vidmar does have choices - whether he chooses to use them that is his test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 (edited) We don't know what sort of pressures were brought on him. Best to leave it alone I reckon. What's done is done. Hope it works out for him and his family. Move on. Apparently we already have a replacement coming. Let's focus on that.

Within 3 weeks of signing a permanent contract with us his wife fell pregnant and decided she didn’t want to have a baby in Australia - that’s the alleged story right? I’m still curious to know how much we spend to make him permanent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most normal people would discuss signing a new contract with their partner before they did it. So her suddenly up and leaving and that being a problem for him seems to not fit the rest of the story. The series of events though did lead him to getting out of his contract with Auxerre. Perhaps that contract had onerous clauses? Anyway he’s gone now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best forgotten IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
