Not seen it on here yet, unless I missed it but Skysports have apparently reported that Robert Koren is in talks to join Melbourne City.

I must say I thought Koren would have been under the cap. Like Duff.

With all the means City have at their disposal, the marquee is one area they can wave the cash. Would be crazy if they went for a cheapie player like Koren. Yes players need to have the right attitude about playing in Australia, but I would have thought they'd be looking at a high profile marquee, not quite at Lampard level, but not far off it.

Then again people thought Duff was going to be marquee at first. Perhaps the incentive of a possible coaching gig in a youth academy upon retirement is an additional incentive for these types of players.

He'd be a quality addition but you'd think they'd be aiming higher for marquees.
