Victory signing assistant coach Carlos Salvachua, with 20 years coaching experience in Spain including with Real Madrid. Could be with some Spanish speaking signings in mind?

Looks to be a more than adequate replacement for JP

I would be absolutely stunned if we get Maclaren, I just can't see why he would come back. Homesickness would be the only reason. 

I've always rated Maclaren :P:P:P

Surely mcclaren isn’t coming Back to Australia!!
I wouldn’t mind having him at Victory but really???
He has his foot in the door and could really make something of himself now!!
It would be bittersweet if he does!!

The World Game is reporting that Honda is done on a one year deal but the Maclaren deal is still very shaky - source

Maybe wants to be sure he's 100% in the frame for the Asian Cup? Only thing I can think of; he's seen Timmy retire, Tommy been less productive / injured and sees the opening with the the new boss in charge. That's of course if it's even a legit rumour. Would also say he has a better idea on where he's going to fit in club wise and with all that and big Kev comes knocking at the door with his big gum-chewing grin saying "come on home Jamie"... "fulfil your destiny as an ex-Roar player"

Shame Troisi is on marquee dosh, I know who the better investment is.

Is that confirmed? I've heard this a tonne but I've yet to see a source that indicates this

He was  a mv fan back in the day. His fave player was arch 😂😂

Antonis hattrick in the first 18 minutes so far against Port Melbourne tonight. Cap him.

TWG Honda article stated that he's marquee.

I always remember the original re-signing of Troisi saying it was a backloaded deal.

The four first half goals:

Big test for Musky to adapt to having a glut of ball players in the team. Should hopefully see a style change and less reliance on wide counter attacks. 

I'd like to see us target a more rounded striker than Maclaren, someone in the Bobo mould would be perfect. 

Anyone seen anything from Marco Rojas this preseason?

Still don't know what's taking so long RE: Honda.

More and more it drags out, the more I can see the deal falling through and us signing Mclaren lol.

-PB

It would take long because of there is a third party then that’s a lot of lawyers and bsck and forth going through contracts. They also probably have to get translated.

Although the major hold up is obviously our lack of $

I think it's the fact he is on holidays at the moment and will need to fly to Melbourne for the medical, signing and announcement.

Thank fuck for that.

God watching ADP in this presser, can see us losing him when FFA get the sack lol

-PB

Parramatta Capacity must be 29,950

He is good. Understands the game and the game. Speaks with confidence and ambition. When he talks you just can't help but feel positive about the club. So basically the opposite of Gallop/Lowy/Greg

FFA contract will be separate to MV.

Cahill's was held up as well
