Shahanga Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 So we’ve all seen the rumours. Seems he’s on the way out. All a bit strange. Was always going to take a while to adapt but he seems to be getting there. Perhaps both parties have lost patience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also could have had a buyout clause in his contract that has been triggered by a club in a league that are familiar with him and how he plays. They may consider it smart business. City may see it as easing cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Perhaps his missus, child or even himself don't like it here, let's face it Australia has had more drama lately than the all of last year's episodes of Neighbours combined! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be reading into this to much, but I’d say no fee suggests that we’re trying to offload him more than the other club pursing him. welcome rajos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the opposite view. The fact we are not paying him out suggests he wants to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we are not paying him out suggests he wants to leave. Id guess that he got a decent offer from Argentina and was happy to go back if we were interested in moving him on, we saw a window with Rojas being available and both parties pretty much agreed to mutually terminate, on the proviso that City were comfortable that they had the replacement ready to go. If Rojas chooses to go elsewhere i think it could well be delayed until we find someone else, but the fact that the Argentinian is reporting specific days makes me think that Rojas discussions are a pretty decent way down the track and are more likely than not. Here's to hoping anyway, because whilst Cabrera has been serviceable, Rojas is a clear upgrade on exposed A League form over the journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. And given that Blatchford said Rojas was our first target, and the general tone of Rojas articles, seems like we’ve got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Now offload Berenguer and Windy to show some urgency for second spot, both have contributed zero and are paid handsomely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Originalmeme Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 doesnt help that they are injured...still would hold onto winbichler - believe he offers more than good or delbridge. Florin i feel is indispensable right now in our midfield. Only player that looks dangerous with a pass - luna gives us nothing in the AM role as I see it, he should be on the wing for wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icantthinkofacoolname Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I don’t think so. I think he technically left on a loan and so I guess it’s just officially lapsed? But no idea really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icantthinkofacoolname Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Just looked into this a little more and found a article posted yesterday (that was in spanish) which confirms he had left us on a loan which ended at the end of 2020. It also says he wants to continue playing abroad so I guess it’s possible he could return? But probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Would be a good pick up for the Mariners imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Would be a good pickup for anyone, he seemed to be better than Luna before leaving. Had we kept him for the season I think we could've walked away with some silverware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Cabrera was really good and could cross better than anybody we've ever had before, aside from Mooy. Wouldn't be mad if he returned provided he was committed until the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, though I’ve got the shits with him leaving in the first place, just when he was starting to play well. im with @mus-28. He stayed, might have been the difference. Anyway doesn’t matter, his salary is now directed to Nabbout; we can’t afford him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
