I didn't say injury prone. Like most professions, experienced guys don't come cheap.

Being over the hill is a different story.

Pretty impressive to get this four months before talks concluded. The insider is an insider.

Because older injury prone guys do come cheap?

He certainly won't be at Leeds next season. He couldn't even get a gig out on loan.

our club always says they struggle to fit everyone under the cap. i don't think we ever have issues meeting the minimum spending quota. my point was we are ridiculous when it comes to wages of certain players.

You do realize if it was not them it would be somee other average player at the club getting the wages because each club has to spend a certain amount of the cap.

i thought victory were trying to hold onto mullen?

Ernie wanted him in season 3 but he declined ,we ended with ljubo :lol: .

I'd say it's more Sydney Fc's thing, Neill, Lovrek. Add in there were like 10 players over the age of 32 in their squad this year.

That would be good, a good homecoming back to Melbourne. Victory also need an experienced CB and Kissie re-teaming up with Ange, his coach earlier in his career with South Melbourne, as well as with the Young Socceroos, is quite realistic.

Not sure where people get this idea that 'older guys come cheap' from?

It's a strange thing that has recently started on the forum, and it's silly, stop it.

DNWAR Do No Want at Roar

Old & injury prone. Meets the requirements for Heart pretty well.

It's called experience der ;) :)

Only if they are fit at the same time during the season.

you want to make an old squad even older?

I could see him coming back to try get in the face of holger before the wc

Wouldn't mind him at sydney fc at all, he and boss would be a quality cb pairing.

you're talking about the club who paid $140k a season for marko jesic, and $250k a season for topor-stanley (in bad form) here.

Unemployed, 32, injury prone, couldn't get a game in a mid-table championship club... Would be a little worried if he was going onto marquee wages of any kind.

jerks have said countless times they'll be bringing in an experienced centreback. they also don't use their australian marquee spot. wouldn't be surprised to see him wind up here.

although i have heard a lot of rumours that the experienced centre back they're bringing in is zwaansvijk from ccm

I'm guessing the unnamed club would be Sydney FC. Hopefully he is over all of his injury issues.

Center Back, so for squad requirement reasons the unnamed club would have to be Sydney or Perth. Perth have the more desperate need for a CB (especially with the rumours surrounding Thwaite's departure) but at 32 and not a local may not excite Edwards too much. Sydney may see him as a low cost alternative if Neil does not stay.

Close sources have indicated that Patrick Kisnorbo is in talks with Melbourne Heart along with Newcastle Jets and another unnamed A-League club for his signature for next season, as it is now looking unlikely that Leeds will offer him a new contract before the season's end.

Patrick Kisnorbo's contract with Leeds United runs out at the end of the season. He has been on loan at Ipswich Town since January where he has only made the one appearance from the bench.
