Tim Cahill unlikely to be in A-League next season after bid fails
THE AUSTRALIAN

Football Federation Australia appears to have failed in an audacious bid to convince the other clubs to allow Melbourne City to sign the Socceroos legend as a third marquee player.
It can be revealed that a meeting of club chairmen on Wednesday gave a resounding “no” after they were asked to allow City to go outside of the rules and field three marquees instead of two for next season so they could accommodate Cahill.
The Australian broke the story earlier this week that the cashed-up Victorian club had been in talks for the past three months with the man regarded as the greatest Socceroo of all time with a view to signing him in a bid to lift their profile.
There has also been interest for Cahill from other clubs, including Sydney FC, but it is understood the clubs are unwilling to meet the financial demands, reportedly around the $3 million-plus a season mark, even allowing for the fact FFA has a fighting fund to help assist.

Gatty has since come out on Twitter ans said he got it slightly wrong.Quote:

Ray Gatt has tweeted this morning that his story is incorrect.
I believe it has been agreed to extend the guest player stint to 12 months to accommodate Cahill at City.
I think with regards to the wing spots miller is still looking for versatility rather than outright wingers, therefore being able to play unfront too.
In saying that, i think the temptation of an out and out target man will prove too strong for miller.
In my mind i reckon miller is after a Scandinavian berisha, ie a frustrated striker spending too much of his career out wide.
I think we need out and out wingers with pace and who can beat a man and a target man would be good to knock it down to nordstrand who is playing just off or behind him wouldn't be a bad idea im surprised he never played triffo and nordstrand like thatQuote:

Schwarzer released by Leicester....
Cahill is not worth $3m a season to any a-league club let alone the bonus payments he will want on top of that from the gate, 3rd parties and so on.
Will be booing him deluxe if he plays for anyone other than the Jets.
By now he should have made more than enough money to support himself for ten lifetimes.
To me he is worth every penny he can get.Quote:

Timmy better off playing OS and taken the coin there
But if he plays in the HAL he deserves big money as he has to perform

Since we all love to talk absolute bollocks on this forum... well i do and my mummy says i'm cool. Here's the players released from the PL. Anyone in here that is about 32-34 in need of a relaxing holiday and a muck around on the football pitch?
For me, only KOLO would be worth the coin. Just to sing his song every week and because he is the nicest guy ever. But let's chuck out some ideas and also add how much you think they should earn in order to come play here. I love the old debate about signing busted arses from the premier league vs signing experienced premier league players.
So i'll say Kolo on Marquee wages of about $1 million a year. So the believability rating is about 0.5 out of 5. Because we can't afford it and he earnt about 3 million pounds lat year.
Some interesting names on their. Peter Skapetis released from Stoke and James Demetriou released from Swansea. Both are young Aussies. Might be worth a look on a trial.Quote:

Then you have young English players that seem to have lost their way a bit like a Nick Powell who probably would not come to the A League but could really be a force down here, not for Marquee wages though.
Wasn't Nick Powell a hugely talented prospect that went from lower league to Man U and then disappeared?
Yep. Another case of taking the step up too quickly and chasing the dollarsQuote:

I meant that did not kick on and become a top player. Not saying he should have turned down United just that it did not work out for him.Quote:

Now he has to rebuild his career in the championship and probably move straight back to the top division in a year. Haha.Quote:

will be interesting to see how he backtracks on some of his comments.
Hoole doesn't track back.
It's his agent who will need to backtrack.Quote:

It's a very interesting trend in Australian football at the moment. A number of players are choosing to head back and play for their home town team, with Adelaide and Perth leading the way.
Welcome back to the best player to have worn a Jets shirt.
The Prodigal Son will tear the league apart under Miller's guidance and McKinna's wisdom.
To me it not that interesting but common sense really.Quote:

Makes perfect sense to fill your squad with as many locals as possible and supplement it with some quality foreigners and a couple of ring ins from outside the area.
Problem we have is our locals ain't good enough to play for us let alone other HAL sides
Hoole has no end product and hasnt shown he has it in him in his career so far. So this signing worries me alot.
Exactly, we got rid of Alidovic who had no end product and now looking at replacing him with another bloke with no end product, but with half the work rate. Shit signing.Quote:

We've heard in the media we're after 2 imports in the front 3rd hence that thought. And surely we wouldnt be paying as much for him now then we offered previously.
But if we're not offloading pav or brennan and signing him as a starter, i wouldnt be happy at all.
Agreed no end product, If he must return then not a dollar more than min wage .
He must return as no more than a squad player impact off the bench
I disagree with most of you.
Hoole was our standout best player last time he was with us. If we're lucky enough to sign him again, he will be one of our most important players IMO.
he was our best player granted. BUT did u see what he had around him at that time and how many goals and assists does Hoole have??? cause he is a attacking player and that is his main task!!!Quote:
