Melbourne is in the final few clubs in the mix for... Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  

ZLATAN.



for $10 million a year he would double the crowds.  

Pretty sure that's a parody/troll account

lol.  link one parody tweet from it then.

Why have 1 when you can have 6 ;)

That's Fernandinho not Fernando.


Erik Nevland never played or signed for Chelsea.


That's Timothy Fosu-Mensah not Borthwick-Jackson


That's Stevan Jovetic not Edin Dzeko


That's Geremi not Claude Makelele


That's Dwight Yorke not Andy Cole

And that's just in the last week and not including a couple others I just couldn't be bothered with lol.

Hahaha owned

Well and truly 

shhh.  dont be upset. 

You are grasping at very thin straws BB...

there is only one club in australia that is capable of pulling zlatan. 

@slipperypigeon

Its so far from being realistic that most Melbourne fans have taken on the facade that it's real, simply as a pisstake, which clearly you've been tricked into believing.

@StiflersMom

"Oh look, City have a supporters thread, would have missed this any other day"

Missing things is part and parcel of the slow witted and unintelligent

A few things in regards to your comment;
Firstly, under no circumstance does reffering to 'Melbourne' mean Melbourne City. Secondly, as City fans you have such high and delusional opinions of the stature of your club that there is no doubt a percentage of you (including a number of posters in this forum) actually thought/think that signing Zlatan is not too farfetched for your polluted franchise. So please, spare me the backpedaling.

zlatan coming to melbourne. this is what happens at big clubs. 

😃😃😃😃

@slipperypigeon

We are Melbourne. I accept that you won't agree. Just as I won't accept that the tards are Melbourne either. Secondly your points of delusion aren't accurate. If any club in the aleague had been linked with Zlatan there would be supporters of that club hoping, but not believing it would happen. If however for a moment we seperate capability from reality the difference is we are the only club capable of it in the whole league. Melbourne fans are well within their right, more so than any other club, to take the piss but fantasise with the idea just for fun. Now if this is a sore point for you that your franchise has neither the means or capabilities to make anything even close to this happen then that's your issue, not our problem.

Zlatan signed for United this morning.
You guys were still in the running though, am I right? So close.

2 weeks later and that's your best response haha

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlatan_Ljubijanki%C4%87 Zlatan could still sign for city..

I'll give that one, not a bad effort 

one day you might be linked with a big name player as well ;)

IMO it looks like City have poor balance again this season.

Or too many players competing for the same positions.

going to be lining up with a 2 - 7 - 1 this year.

tbf the balance seems better than last year.  we desperately needed another decent central defender.

the only position im concerned about now is RB.  im hoping that the young guy Pierias steps up and owns it - from what ive seen he has more potential than someone like tongkyik (who was really over rated in his performances last year). i dont think manny muscat should be in the AL.  he was the worst in the squad last year.

other than that i think we have amongst the strongest squads in the league.  lets hope that wazza has some good ideas about using cahill.  it's probably time for him to become the first sub each game for bruno.  maybe they can both play if we are behind.

Tongyik is a gun.  I rate him ahead of Curtis Goode at the same stage.  Far fewer brain-fart moments that were overlooked for Goode.  Better on the ball,  can play out from the back .Faster.

i just havent seen it.  runs up the pitch with the ball and gets big wraps but gets done consistently in defence and costs us goals.  poor positioning, poor decisions making,  poor one on one. doesnt seem to pay attention.  is very slow to react.  i feel nervous when he is in the back.  i just dont think central defence suits him.  he might make a better defensive mid where he has cover and more freedom to roam.

no doubt he will improve with game time. imo he should be the face of the "why we need a second division" campaign.

Apart from Tongyik losing concentration at times, we must be watching a different player.

Where has Franjic gone when you refer to RB?

He has gone to Korea. Left 6 weeks ago.

Ta.

This won't be well received in this thread, but Fornaroli's injury will be negligible for City.

If Cahill is fit , he can be used as the central striker just as effectively. He won't be wasted doing donkey work in midfield. He is a more clinical finisher, but not as good as Fornaroli as a 1v1 exponent, or  as effective as a team player in City build ups and attacking interplay.

Fornaroli has had a sharp increase of goals scored because he has been in recent very good form. Conversely, Cahill is a classy  finisher who has been a consistent goal scorer at a much high level - international football - for  at least a decade.

Last season Fornaroli scored far less goals per game and relied on penalties to boost his tally. The previous season in one game Jacob Poscolero set up a blueprint  to negate Fornaroli's effectiveness.

Opposition  HAL defences have worked Fornaroli out.

I think Cahill will also be a better captain/leader for City. From reading his book, he also loves the role as leader/captain, or part of a team leadership group.

Maclaren and Taggart scored more field goals from open play per minutes played in the HAL than Berisha and Fornaroli last season.

agree with this.  cahill also out scored fornroli from open play last year.

i am not concerned about fornroli's exit.  imo we should have sold him rather than have 2 marquees for the same spot and personally i would rather an australian in every position in the AL.

my biggest concern with the current squad is the lack of replacement of franjic. manny muscat was one of our worst last season. i dont rate him at all.  the only benefit i can see from not replacing him is the opportunity that the young guy pierias might get a better opportunity to play.

Interesting to read your take on Fornaroli/Cahill and imported players.

Some 442 posters have become irate when I've suggested that too many imports are stifling Australia's development of Aussie goalscorers in the HAL!

imo there are only 9 professional coaching spots and 99 professional starting spots available to australians in australia.  every foreign import is basically taking away from the development of an australian player or coach.  im not for a blanket ban.  foreign players obviously bring a lot to our game.  but we are not going to develop key positions while we overly bring in foreigners to do the job.  this is why we are struggling to produce playmakers and strikers.  

i heard that CFG was keen on developing australian players.  the additions to the squad this season really calls bullshit on that.  im really disappointed that we relied so heavily on imports for our squad this year.  CFG is in a unique position - the best facilities and resources australia has ever seen - they should be really hitting this home.

funnily enough this stance is ridiculed by city supporters on that forum and more supported on this forum.

City have gone backwards under Joyce.

Only saw the last 30 mins of the City game against SFC.  

SFC are building on last year. Conversely,  City under Joyce's tutelage look a shadow of the team they were in the  2016 FFA Cup Final - essentially with the same cattle.
