The former Nacional player, who has appeared for Sampdoria and Panathinaikos in Italy and Greece respectively, would become City's fourth overseas player and potentially help to fill the attacking void left by retired centre-forward Josh Kennedy.

Nicknamed El Tuna, Fornaroli's most recent club was Uruguayan side Danubio, who sent him on loan to Figueirense of Brazil.

City, who have also been linked with former Stoke City goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen, have already signed Corey Gameiro, Steve Kuzmanovski and Ivan Franjic.

Is he any good?

Only scored 10 goals since 2009. Surely City could aim higher than some random Uruguyan who scored only 2 goals since 2011.

Foreign signings under the cap are always a gamble.

Berisha's record was poor before coming to Brisbane Roar.

And he played under the greatest coach in Australian footballing history lol, not a dud like JVS.

-PB

Ifill, Roly, Hernandez, Broich ... I think all signed under the cap initially.

Could go either way but seems ok. I think a 2+1+1 would be a good contract for MC.
