Purely speculation, but my best mate saw him at Castle Towers in North West Sydney last week.
Very odd place to be for a guy who is on contract in Melboure and is from Melbourne... Also as far as I know his wife isn't from Sydney... And Castle Hill isn't somewhere you'd go on a Sydney holiday.

Juric and Bulut gone... City looking for a different marquee? Who knows.

His Melbourne City contract is the last time he will see marquee wages. I don't think he will take a pay cut. Likewise what is the use of MC paying him out and signing a new player (are you even allowed to do that with cap rules?) .

Yes.

As long as it's a mutual termination there's no cap issues.

Not sure that would even apply to a marquee though.

My mistake.
But they wouldn't be willing to pay him out then pay for someone else.

Why not?
Theyve got pretty solid financial footing, reportedly. If a better option came along I think they could justify the spending.

Kennedy would be great at a club that had players who could cross a ball. City just couldn't use him.

But they still have a budget. That's why they ended up with Kennedy and Koren in the first place.

I disagree tbh, I love Jesus but he just looks well past it these days IMO.

Considering our dismal set piece record I would be happy with this. I guess I'd like to see if there are any marquees on offer at striker. Would be wasteful to pay for him then have him play half a season.
