His contract was up at the end of the season, and he'd probably already told the club he was looking at going overseas, so at least we got a fee.

Only three days left in the transfer window, closes midnight Friday night, so I'm not holding my breath for a replacement.

Knowing us we probably bring back ansell.  But he transfer to another kleague club

Obviously a fantasy, but loaning Dylan Ryan from Willem II would be terrific.

this season is f'd so MV is cashing in the transfer fee

“With only a couple of days left in the transfer window, we’re working hard to find a suitable replacement to fill the spot made available in our squad.”

Won't be holding my breath.

How many Australian CBs are available and are worth chasing? Spiranovic hasn't kicked a ball in seven months, although it would be good for his career to come full circle back to Victory.

I've lost count of the amount of Aussie players that have flopped in Japan

Literally crazy that he was allowed to go,  surely there must be someone coming in?

Fuck man. We only have doncs as the only fit senior cb.  Ffs

A healthy MV fan base is a must for the league. Perhaps you could say the same for WSW.
SFC and MC at the top of the ladder kills the league as their fan bases are a total flop. Both should be attracting much bigger crowds and member numbers.
I understand MC fan situation as the fundamental basis for this club is floored but SFC fans have no excuse. They have let the league down.

we have become apathetic. and what do you expect when you're 5 points out of the top 6 with a game in hand? I would be pissed off if we were 5 points off top spot at this point of the season, let alone the top 6. its going to be an interesting offseason to see what the club will do to reverse the slide - and I don't just mean the slide on the ladder, but the slide in members and crowd numbers. a healthy Victory is very important for this league. 

Hearing that Victory requested the match against Sydney to be moved to the 15th of Feb but was refused. Is this true or just bullshit? 

Perhaps MV fans are just a bit over this season.
The squad is simply not good enough to do well in the ACL or the A league.
Add to that the scheduling that makes it impossible for MV to succeed in either comp and it all becomes a bit ho hum.

why are you blokes not talking about tonight's match

So WHO'S GOING TO DRIVE DOBRAS TO THE AIRPORT? 

No Dobras in tonight's squad

Apparently didn't fly to Adelaide. 

Ola, Basha and Poulson are our three visa players for the ACL qualifiers, but we can update our list for the group stage 7 days prior to the first game of that stage, if we make it that far.

Gotta get Dobras off the books first. Would be his prerogative to take the salary (which will still count towards the cap) and not play for six months, but as long as we get the visa spot free for Rojas I'm happy. There should be enough in the cap left with Brown gone.

Thanks. Fingers crossed the medical was all good and it's just a formality from here.

Rojas was doing his medical yesterday.  So dobras was still included

So no more news on Dobras getting that mutual termination? He's listed in the squad for tonight's game.

[quote] Victory CEO Trent Jacobs also confirmed that defender Corey Brown had agreed to a mutual termination of his contract with Victory, and flagged further manoeuvring in the January transfer window to come.

“We can confirm today, due to personal reasons, Corey Brown has departed the club by way of mutual termination,” Jacobs said. “We will be looking to improve our roster through the January transfer window, albeit at the moment we haven’t made any signing and final decisions. [/quote]

does this add weight to the Troisi talk? probably not.  

It would nicely balance out all the good moves made by Victory this week.

What in the fuck, please no.

-PB

Definitely not happening. Even if he's unhappy (allegedly) at the club, he's extremely settled here now. 

what the? surely some typing error...?

@MrWalkerAgent on twitter claiming Troisi is heading to Victory: https://twitter.com/MrWalkerAgent/status/1217261779895472129

Would make no sense, but it is Troisi, so who knows!

Salvachua's blue white army does have a nicer ring to it anyway...
