He's hoping to be back by Feb.  Feel for kruser.  Injuries have derailed his career. He should call it a day and realise he had a career that went from almost being derailed to being saved by mv and Merrick to playing in a world cup and Asian cups.  

He said at the launch he’s aiming for R3 against Wellington. But who really knows. 

Ok, where's Shotton?

Leek Town FC

Shotton announced: https://twitter.com/gomvfc/status/1339782421911236610?s=19

How can Kruse not be ready for R1?? It’s a piss take!

Do we have too many foreign players on our list? What's the quota this year? Bear in mind this thought is coming from Football Manager lol. It says MV currently have 6 foreign players.

Roux is an Aussie citizen so doesn’t count as a visa player (except in the ACL)

But we also have Gestede, Rojas, McManaman, Butterfield, Shotton and Crocombe

Iirc crocombe is an Aussie citizen .  I also think so is marco since his family have been in Australia since he came over to mv in '11

He did say he is targeting feb 

He shouldn't.  He's been an Aussie citizen since he was at Perth iirc

I believe Roux and Crocombe are Aussie Citz's but not Rojas.

Plenty of rumours about rhys williams coming back. 

Rojas is close . Iirc his family have theirs already since they stayed here when he left the first time 

Which highlights the major problem with Victory - recycling. 

Rhys Williams still under contract, not moving this season.

All clubs do it. Hell all leagues do it. Our league cops it due to now transfer fees but under the premier league numerous players who get released find themselves at clubs in the lower leagues and end up at their rivals a couple of seasons after 

Victory do it fanatically. 

S.O.S to Gallifuoco, Berisha and Corey Brown to return.

Umm gg is still at the club

Lol we've done it only recently.  Rojas x3 Kruse x 1 ansell twice and nabs once.  Who else did we bring back?? Alsopp in the early years.  

Lucas Radbone article on Aug 28, 20 has GG gone along with king Kenny Athiou and a couple of others in a Vuk cleanout.
Wikipedia is not up to date.

James Donachie for one, James Troisi for two  .... you’re probably so used to it by now you don’t even notice anymore. 

GG has signed in Malaysia for Kuala Lumpur United, after his move to Slovakia fell through. Club's expected to announce it within the next week

Brebs confirmed he was still at the club 3 weeks ago

Add Kosta and Milligan to that list. To be fair, it usually works out well (or at least ok). Haven't been too many return players who have been complete flops. 

Might've still been training with the club to keep fit, but pretty sure he's been a free agent for a fair while.

Looking back, the big thing missing is a solid DM. We had good results when Milligan and Valeri were holding the spine together. People often underestimate how important Valeri was to the squad. They have been yet to fill that void. Brox simply isn't good enough. When you have inadequate DM's, it puts way more pressure on the central defenders, which often makes them look like they are performing worse than they actually are.
