Melbourne Victory: Season 2018/19 

 

2017/18 Thread Here

[Paul01]

Possible Berisha exit pending....

No more trophies to win

Impersonation of Kevin Muscat below

[sonar]

If he goes it's so Leroy George can stay. The Victory fans would lynch the board if George goes to another HAL club.

[mack]

Tactics:

Wait until Berisha leaves.

Sign Leeroy anyway.

Get berisha his citizenship.

Give him 50k a season.

Sign Leeroy & Berisha.

Play 4-4-2 with Riera & Berisha and Leeroy in behind.

Win ACL again.

Hmmm I'm gonna really miss the banter he had with opposition fans (no sarcasm). Its like  part of the furniture and then when its gone you start missing it.

[Paul01]

Val Migliaccio is reporting there is a confirmed signed contract with a transfer fee paid by Ange's Yokohama to his old club Victory.

Victory seem to be having trouble keeping their squad together.

Rumours of Donachie and Rhys Williams leaving as well.

Ray Gatt tweeting that Rhys Williams is off to oil leagues.

so they have lost Donachie and Williamson. Talking about bringing Ansell back. Only one recognised centre back in Deng.

As well as Berisha gone and potentially Leroy George.

atm their line up looks like

..............Thomas

Roux.....Deng......Broxham.....Corey Brown

.............Antonis......Holla

Barbarouses......Troisi........Jai Ingham

................Athuei

 

[Paul01]

Rhys Williams gone.

Leroy George gone after they didnt offer him a pay rise. Plus he hates mad monday traditions.

Nothing in that interview surprises me at all. I can’t be the only one. NFI how fox can label it “scarcely believable”.

I read it and thought "Nothing that surprising". Foreigner says the league is average, the finals system is weird and Australians like to party and/or drink hard? What out of this is news to anyone?

[Paul01]

Melbourne Victory is so terse on Leroy George that they must expect him to sign a marquee deal with an A-league club. Smurfs, us and one other apparently.

Unfortunately Fox Sports has started being very click-baity with their articles lately. I just fell victim to one that revealed the Croatian goalkeeper had actually saved a goal many previously thought had hit the post. It was truly 'incredible' 

[mack]

A follow up to the George interview was that Fox going by google translate meant that some of the translations weren't particularly good when compared to a human translation. Perhaps they should have asked the SBS translation service to do it for them before writing an article about it.

Media reporting Honda nailed on to join them. Also signed a 32yo German CB.
