IssySG Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Thought our newest player could use his own thread. Interesting to note that Corinthian fans are all pretty emphatic that he is a horrible player - my favourite comment so far being "Congrats Melbourne City, you now have your new worst player" Be interesting to see how he adapts in this league, looks like he'll be getting a lot more game time then hes been used to of late.

jw1739 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I wonder whether he actually exists? A bit of news out of the club wouldn't go astray. Personally I could care less about a new sponsorship or viewing Manchester City's trophies.

I really don't understand why the media team don't post weekly updates on all players fitness conditions. Eg. "Leo Natel has been hitting the training pitch and fitness is improving. He looks on track to be fit for round 1 against WU"Â "Andrew Nabbout had a successful surgery on his Achilles and will spend the next 6 weeks in a moon boot"Â Etc etc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah shit you're right! You need to upgrade to a corporate membership so someone in the "social media" department can spend an extra 3 minutes a week, updating the fans on the doings of the players and club...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Cynical lot aren't we? It's like a well-known member of the "big four" banking cartel - even the corporate colour is the same - except that in our case the only retail branch has closed whereas I think the bank still does have a branch open...somewhere.

The one moment he had in the box I thought he showed promise, but there wasn't much else. Jakolis is frustrating. He has pace and gets into a lot of good positions but then does bugger all with it. Like Lachie Wales a few years back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rass Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 We always complain how sterile and boring our football is. So i just loved seeing natel do something different. Will obviously improve with more game time and with Arslan around him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natel and Arslan will be lethal when they're both up to full fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityBoyz Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Full translated article Striker Léo Natel, who is on loan to Melbourne City, Australia, is one of Corinthians' targets as a sale in this mid-year window. The amount fixed by Timão is 2 million euros (R$ 11.2 million at the current rate), which can be negotiable for lower amounts. The loan is valid until June 30, but the contract with Corinthians runs until the end of the season. If a transfer in this next window does not happen, the board should give a new destination to the athlete, since the use is not in the plans. According to ge.globo, the representatives of Léo Natel and the City Group, owner of Melbourne City, will meet to seal the athlete's destiny. Thus, he must be bought or have the return to Corinthians defined. Natel was the starter of the Australian team for most of the season, finishing with 29 games, six goals and six assists. For the Parque São Jorge club, he has a total of 54 matches and only four goals, culminating in a loan to Apoel, from Cyprus, and Casa Pia, from Portugal, who did not yield sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Towards the end of the season he started to get going but no way should we pay 2m Euros.... save that and put it towards wages outside of the cap! Even better sign a decent coach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanty Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 He was very good the last 10 games of the season, so a bit of me wonders if it just took him a while to settle in the country so it is something I would consider, but 2 million euros is a lot and I would much prefer to use 2 million euros on someone's wages than a transfer fee.

jw1739 Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 (edited) Surely that's an old story? I understood that he had returned or was returning to Corinthians. Indeed, that's what it says here: https://melbournecityfc.com.au/news/20240516-five-depart/ So Corinthians can do what they like with him is my clear understanding. If we pay that much for that lazy drongo then the club has definitely lost the plot. He's not worth any transfer fee IMO. And other clubs clearly didn't think much of him either Getting painful recollections of the stuff-up that we made with that Italian designated player guy we signed and who barely got on the pitch for us... If I had made stuff-ups like that in my job I'd have been out of the door on my ear quick smart... Edited May 26 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHFC-FAN Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Why would we officially announce him leaving if we were considering buying him? The club would be crazy if they pay any transfer fee for him! We could find better visa wingers for free no doubt... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
