A-League Transfers and Rumours

I understand it from a marketing perspective but it is disgusting from a fairness and integrity perspective. That goes for anyone but it’s even worse that they inevitably go to the biggest population centres which are home to the biggest clubs.

This is being negotiated by DRT? The guy who couldnt get rewind on P+? They guy who was going to get answers on the Shaun Evans debacle?
That guy?
This is sheer bollocks aimed at the non football public for publicity

Yeah doesn't fill you with any confidence he could manage to pull it off. I really couldn't care less and you are right it is only there to try and peak non A League watchers interests. Hope he isn't another Sturridge.

The MLS will have a better chance if he wants to leave Europe. The US seems to have more allure than OZ to the big names.

Didn't he have some legal issues in the US?

Well he might end up at Wanderers with the others.............................

The whole idea of governing bodies subsidising players for certain clubs is just so wrong.

Literally. It really should be the clubs go after whoever you choose to go after and you pay for it with the money you have. It's a bit of a farce that the A-League targets players to come to the A-League and then plants them at a club, but that's how it works.

So just like every other marquee ever except like Emile Heskey and Luis Garcia, Melbourne Victory or Sydney FC? ?

Yeah, the Big Bash do that and it's a piss take as well and takes away from the integrity of the league, but it's the Big Bash and the whole thing is a piss take and just designed to entertain kids over school holidays. I'm more of a cricket fan than soccer/football but I'd like to think the A-League is a bit better than that...

Doesn't Ronaldo's grandparents live in Perth though? If the A-League paid him to go to Perth I'd at least appreciate it's not a Sydney or Melbourne big club.

It would be magical. If he hates his current coach imagine him in Perth with a shit coach and shit team.

Playing at an NPL ground with temporary seating. Wouldn’t even get on the pitch before he threw his toys.

Imagine Cristiano Ronaldo and Matty Hatch lighting up the wings at Macedonia Park ??

Patrick Kisnorbo being looked at by Troyes (Ligue 1) and part of CFG who have sacked their manager in the last 2 weeks

Not surprised as he has finally got City playing to their potential so would be noticed by the CFG, would be very tempting for him you feel.

Top 5 league - direct from the ALM. If he performs will further open the door that Ange has nudged open for Australian managers

Hope he flops completely, never going to forgive him for his role in that referee debacle, virtually bullying the ref. It cost us a home final.

He isn't even in the top 5 people responsible for that mess.

 

[StensnessGOAT]

Feels like Ange deserves to be the guy to be the first Aussie to coach in the top 5 leagues, but good luck to PK if he can secure the role. Australian football is making waves in Europe lately, and we are a big part responsible for that.

Who'd coach City after that? They'd be well advised to throw big money at Monty but I can't see him leaving us.

Kisnorbo move confirmed

 

[StensnessGOAT]

Makes you wonder why did Melbourne Heart have to rebrand if Troyes and a bunch of their other clubs don't have to be sky blue!? ?
