A-League Transfers and Rumours

[Meerkat]

His conduct on several occasions was nothing short of disgraceful, good riddance.

Yup. He’s an absolute deadset grub.

No loss for our league.

Macarthur weren't going to release him halfway through the season to join Japan so he forced the issue. Pretty dog act.

 

[FFC Mariner]

There's a little bit of me that wishes we still had a player other fans hated. Simmo, Hutch type.

Every team needs one

Every team needs one

While we only hate our own-Wilson and Feijao come to mind and Paull until recently

Interesting article on the new Perth signing who played at Hibs under Monty, and said he was key to getting him here.

Wonder if we were in the conversation.

Interesting to see how he goes in comparison to our visa players.

We don't have any open visa spots...

Releasing a player wasn't an issue for MacArthur.

If we wanted to clear a spot we could get it done.

 

[VonBowellski]

That was "mutual", who is going to take any of our visa's except maybe Kaltak? and we cant afford to just pay them to go away

 

[Stuartmcateer]

We have 800k from the ACL - we have some capacity to pay someone off if it was really something we wanted to do.

 

[Corsair]

We're not going to pay anyone out, we can't afford it.

It would have to be mutual release for someone who's presumably found another club, or we sell someone. Or a swap + some money i guess

That money would have been allocated to staff or player wages before we even received it.

The travel costs would have been a significant amount of it

 

[Ironbark]

We can get a visa player - we have a visa player (Edmo) out injured for the season and can be replaced

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Regardless of whether we would or wouldn't ( or could or should) find the money to offload a visa player who would struggle to get in my kids U/16 team, I was more wondering aloud whether the Monty/serge scouting network bridge was burnt given he has gone to a rival club.

Yeah what was the analysts name? I can't believe we didn't keep him, he was core to our system. The ability to identify players with significant potential (tulio, torres) that just need game time to reach their potential and for cheap as well? Crazy to let that guy go.

 

[Big Al]

Checks team. Yes Alfie still here and Gaffer brought him here. Not going anywhere for a Monty player.

Although Monty did recommend Jacko.

But I think it is probably more i have an. Offer from Perth what’s it like and Monty talks it up.

Monty may well have asked Jacko too. Jacko did say we were close but wasn’t likely to happen. Could have been this guy but we needed to offload first
