Who's Fed?  I just can't come up with any name other than Federer lol. 

Edit: Oh, nevermind. It's Federici!

hudders advanced in the FA Cup. Mooy rested. sad not to see any streams

I was thinking what benefit to Newcastle would it be if they sent out Curtis Good on loan when they will release him at the end of his contract in 6 months anyway as i can't see anyone paying a transfer fee for him?

Maybe they would do it just so they don't have to pay his wages

Those two should quit football if they don't move this window. Time to get matches somewhere. 

get his wages covered. a lot of loans for unwanted players are pretty much just to do this.

I hate these FA Cup weekends. Such a useless competition.

That's a bit harsh on Ikon. He's played 33 games in the two seasons prior to this one. That's pretty good in Europe for a 20-21 year old.
He's just been called back to Lazio this season and hasn't managed any game time yet. But that's hardly a surprise in Serie A at his age.

It's upsetting that Cahill seems to be done. Realistically, who's gonna give him a chance now? There aren't even any rumours of a new club or anything. I can't believe that bastard Warren Joyce destroyed the chance of one of the greatest Socceroos ever of playing in his 4th straight world cup, and no one seems to mind.  Honestly, Joyce needs to be deported from the country. 

No ones forced Cahill to do anything 

he could easily get a gig in the indian prem league. Berbatov n wes brown playing there, w/ heap of others

No Langerak in Barcelona. Oier now the starter. Fernandez bench. Langerak was on the bench during the cup midweek. Best he move somewhere. Bundesliga 2 loan to Kaiserslautern? Would keep him on his toes. Japan move appears more likely. 

This. As much as I love to tag on City, Cahill assumed he was bigger than the club. One of them pie in face moments. 

Waiting for Maclaren deal to be announced on Darmstadt Facebook to see the reaction. So far they've signed a defender from Trinidad. They'll need one extra striker for cover. They might promote a youth player but they're in a relegation dogfight. 

Cahill obviously isn't the smartest guy, but it seems clear that his relationship with this horrible Joyce idiot had broken down beyond repair. Joyce showed him no respect or any understanding of the Australian football culture. And it's not just him. Killkeny was the same and now that Arzani kid is expressing a desire to leave as well. This isn't new for Joyce, who was also despised by the players at Wigan. He's a terrible man manager and, by all indications, a terrible coach. And I don't really care about City, they can screw themselves as much as they want, but I can't believe that they've indirectly weakened the Socceroos in the world cup year. CFG can go fuck themselves along with Joyce. 

Don't blame Joyce for Cahill being a bad personality, hardly a surprise no other A League team has taken him on.

That is simply a shameful comment. It is an absolute disgrace that you're taking some English nobody's side over the person who has carried the national team on his shoulders through thick and thin for years and years. A 'bad personality' for not getting along with the likes of Warren Joyce... Yuck! You're fucking disgusting.

Maclaren to Hibernian for the rest of the season confirmed today. I've posted the official article in a separate thread.

Ruka scored in a cup win today:

Mate you are talking shite. Tell me why no one else in Australia wants him ? 
Tim is only interested in Tim , full stop.

Ryan rested for the FA cup.

Mabil on the bench currently. Fingers crossed he comes on and scores the winner

Because they can't afford him? 

Not Joyce's fault Cahill's ego was too big for him to be a squad player.

Cahill should of been told he was needed for the rest of the season, and kept at Melbourne City. They made the investment in Cahill and Joyce went to the liberty to dismantle the deal. Joyce seems to have a chip on his shoulder and his care factor is zero, also for the fact that Cahill needs to be in top shape for the World Cup too. Warren does not man manage top flight players. Losing Ansari should rest squarely on Joyce's shoulders exclusively too. Those that hired Joyce should be made accountable, they have a much to be blamed for, knowing he had this track record previously. 

If you price yourself out of the market that says as much about you as it says about the market.

100%

Agreed. Cahill seems to be more interested in promoting his side gigs than football these days. 

Ben Halloran to Nagasaki confirmed.

Connor Chapman changing Korean clubs from Incheon to Pohang Steelers.
