Sounds like he's back on loan. Very welcome news.

Golgol AM, Mate on the right, Harry at CF.(Y)

Still need that gun DM but this would explain why JD wasn't looking for another attacking player and tbh it still looks as though we may re-sign Richie...

I wonder what percentage of his wage MHFC will cover because he is on 5-6 times more now, than he was here.

Given that Heart want Ramsay to emulate Aziz Behich, I reckon it's a positive for both those players that Behich will be on loan at Heart next season. Ramsay will be able to learn directly from Behich, and then the season after he could hopefully smoothly transition into the role of fullback.

 

Williams and Mitchinson might lose out from this move, though. Williams will either have to thrive with there being competition for the LW position, or he'll have to play well as a centre forward. If Williams doesn't do either, he is likely to be benched often IMO.

Heart Welcome Back Behich

Thursday, 25 July 2013 6:26 PM

 

Melbourne Heart FC is delighted to welcome back foundation player Aziz Behich for the 2013-14 Hyundai A-League Season.

 

In a massive boost, crowd favourite Behich returns to the Heart on a one-season loan deal from Turkish Super Lig club Bursaspor.

 

During his first stint with Melbourne Heart, Behich rose from injury replacement player to Socceroo, making 65 appearances for the Red and White before earning a move to Turkey.

 

“Aziz brings so many qualities to our club that it was a no-brainer to have him back. He is just so full of energy and passion for the Heart,” Aloisi said.

 

“We were proud that we could help Aziz take the massive step to Europe but equally disappointed to lose him midway through last season.”

 

Behich will arrive back in Melbourne this weekend and will join his team-mates for pre-season training on Monday.

 

The Club also confirms the signing of goalkeeper Tando Velaphi to a one-season deal.

 

An agile shot stopper, Aloisi believes Velaphi is the ideal back-up keeper to compliment established first-choice ‘keeper Andrew Redmayne.

 

“We had a number of ‘possibles’ on trial and all the coaches agreed Tando is in all respects the best option,” Aloisi said.

 

“He is the best goalkeeper in Australia not currently with an A-League deal, an excellent professional and his chemistry with Andrew Redmayne is superb, so it is a great fit.”

 

Behich, 22, and Velaphi, 26, are Melbourne Heart’s fifth and sixth off-season recruits, joining Iain Ramsay, Massimo Murdocca, Harry Kewell and Robbie Wielaert.

 

Melbourne Heart now has 20 squad members contracted for the 2013-14 season, with three spots remaining, including two international places.

I still wan't to see him play on the right wing for us.

 

 

We already have Mate and Gol Gol but Aziz cant shoot or cross so lets play him at Right Wing. :huh:

 

 

Not that great at defending either... but he is fast so he is the best!

Hence he could cut in rather than crossing :huh:

 

Ok,

 

So instead of dribbling down the left wing before putting the ball out of bounds with a shoddy cross or shot,

 

He could dribble the ball in a diagonal line from right to left across the pitch before putting the ball out of bounds with a shoddy cross or shot and in doing also severely limit our attacking options by putting one of our genuine forwards who can cross/shoot on the bench.

Why would you cross the ball if you've just cut into the centre of the park :huh:?

Please name our genuine forwards who can cross/shoot?

You do know Aziz is naturally a winger and played there his whole life (either side)?
