Strange decision to go the MC, can not understand why he would go there after only just making his breakthrough at AU.

Could end in tears ...

I have no doubt the club did everything in its power to keep him, we can jump to knee jerk conclusions with absolute minimal infomation but the fact remains the club is committed to youth not just for philisophical reasons but also financial reasons. Its in the interests of the ownership group to sell on our best talent to larger clubs in europe and asia.

As fans I feel we are hard on the club in these situations while turning a blind eye to the individual player. My feeling is it would pay dividends if fans pressured youth to stay and turn players who refuse an AUFC contract in favour of City into public enemy number 1

WSW , MV and SFC fans would not tolerate this, even the Nux went hard on Rojas.

With Taras gone, we may as well bring Vinni back.

I know it’s kind of underwhelming but we realistically aren’t going be able to get anyone better.

Most people in here probably already know but Blackwood has gone to Oldham who have Harry Kewell as their manager.

They really hyped up his signing too so I assume they see him as a real coup.

Even though things didn’t quite work out for him here, I really hope he kills it over there.

As cover for D'Arrigo? Marrone can cover for him.

Yes.

Marrone can cover Strain. He all know how good Micky is but he can’t cover 4 players.

We also need to improve on our non existent depth at DM and in defence. I’m hoping we bring in a DM, at least one CB and a left back.

CB I would have thought was more important at this stage.

Hopefully the statement from the club is true and they did all they could to keep him. I can understand the thought process that City would look like a great pathway to achieving the dream of a move to Europe. I hope Bruce and the club aren't disheartened by this and continue the course they are steering. I'm sure its going to be a case of 4 steps forward, 3 steps back for a while with the club but it they stick with it I'm certain we'll all be able to look back in a years time and marvel at how far we've come.

Xanthi goalkeeping coach Zeljko Kalac: "Matt Jurman arrived Saturday, we tried Paul Izzo but it just didn't happen. We really pushed for him but just couldn't get it over the line. We haven't stopped [A-League raid] yet, we're still looking."

Val reporting that we could lose 3 players, one of which is a star, with no mention of anyone coming in.

I really don’t know how that is “positive transfer business” tbh

Edit: I really hope we actually replace the players that leave this season. It’s such a low bar but I don’t have faith in the club to actually reach it.

Would have to be Mcgree, or possibly Troisi. Interesting Izzo has been mentioned too,
Reckon AU will look like an U20’s team next year predominantly

Izzo and McGree and the players he was referring to and it sounds like the deal for Izzo is pretty much done.

The teen he was referring to was Brook who I personally think is better off staying for the time being.

Izzo officially off to Xanthi.

He deserves to go overseas but he’ll be a huge loss for us. Probably our most important player tbh.

Looking at out of contract keepers across the league, Birighitti is the only one who’s good enough to be a starting keeper.

We could ask a club to release their number 2 keeper but the only ones that would be good enough are Janjetovic (yuck) and Oli Sail who would take up a Visa spot.

As far as I’m aware Jack Duncan and Brad Jones are contracted overseas so they wouldn’t be an option

For me despite all the words and promises of change, nothing much appears to have changed.
Best players leave each year, good youngsters get signed by rivals for free and AU don’t sign quality imports or Aussies.
Izzo is a massive loss, birighitti is the only Aussie I’d sign if possible, otherwise looks like GK will go from a strength to a weakness pretty quickly.
