Florin or Leo Lecroix, I'd be comfortable with either winning tbh. So I fully expect it to be a tie between Diamanti and Sturridge Don't forget Castro and Broich..

Imtellingyou Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Florin was always skilled and useful player. It was just the case that a local home grown midfielder is a fan favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 On more than one occasion he was in a good position but the other players did not pass him the ball - Jammo at least twice. When he had the ball in the second half he could be dangerous as he got pass their defenders. Lack of match fitness hampered him but if he had been better managed he might not have been injured. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight perhaps injury replacement category but I remember that the plan was to be fully fit after the World Cup. Can perhaps get a handy player for the money he is on. I would look back at his City career with mixed emotions. Took ages to see any potential, fair chunk absence due to injury throughout the seasons, all mixed with moments of brilliance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Watching over his highlights I feel he doesn't get the praise he should for his time with us. He had some ups and downs including injuries at times but looking back how he contributed to all our trophies and how when he was 'on' he was a huge part of many many wins we had. I'd say he was overall a successful addition to our team, which as we know in this league with foreign players isn't easy to get right. Wish him all the best, except against us if he goes to another team in Aus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 I wish him the best. I liked him and always wanted him to succeed. But many games he didn't get out of second gear (third at most). He never played with urgency, which i usually put down to him being perpetually coming back from injury. I always thought he had the potential to grab a game by the throat, but never really saw him do it. For that reason i think the time had come to move on. I think he flourished most when he had two very good midfielders beside him that allowed him the freedom to be a luxury player. He may well go to the next level at a different club and under a different system. I hope he scores a bag of goals against Victory and Sydney, and has his usual second gear games against us. Bon chance Florin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon chance Florin Good summary IMO. I think your observations reflect his career in France before he came to us. Never met him of course, but he seems from all accounts an all-round nice guy, family man, possibly doesn't have the "edginess" needed to make it in a very competitive and cut-throat environment. Somehow I can imagine him in retirement running a cafe in a village somewhere in la belle France where you go for a coffee, a cheese sandwich, and shoot the breeze with "le patron." Indeed, bon chance Florin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly older visas switching clubs over clubs promoting some up coming players. Don't know what Brisbane are thinking with the 2 year deal. Surely they got him on the cheap otherwise they will probably regret this deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
