Great player but had some off field dramas at the back end of last year. There wasn't too much media attention on it though... i never really heard what had happened.Quote:

Surprising he had to move to Turkey. That kind of behaviour is allegedly much more accepted at Victory, right?
Not sarcastic. Journos in this country usually take shit like that a run a mile when it comes to slamming football in this country. Do you actually know the outcome though? It wasn't really that widely reported.Quote:

Wonder if that has something to do with the fact that MC immediately stood him down while investigating and, despite no charges, still suspended him. They were pretty swift in their actions and it didn't drag out at all.Quote:

Or compared to the Jets.........:whistling:Quote:

This would be an interesting development. Also note the last paragraph where Iraq are playing Perth Glory in a warm up. Pretty good opposition for a pre season trial.
Perf got their new keeper
The "City want to sign Tim Cahill Rule" has been approved...

I know people see it as rich clubs getting the best deal but hell im all for it. The more big names here the better... its all good publicity for our sport!Quote:

We are already seeing a comp with the haves and have nots
Some clubs can't even find a marquee so why should a club be allowed a 3rd??
Heart have the cash yes but should have been made to fit him in under the other 2 marquee slots
All you will see now is Smurfs GLORY wsw and Victree exploiting this loop hole more and more further widening the gap between us Gypos nix etc

When has a team with the biggest marquees actually won the competition?Quote:

Think of the big names we have had here...
Dwight Yorke
Robbie Fowler
Heskey
Del Piero
Ono
Of the Aussies
Kewell
Culina
Kennedy
Emerton
Not many titles among that group!
This is for big names, bums on seats players. I think the good publicity and attendances will far out weigh the "gap" caused.
James Troisi DO IT JETS
The “Melb City wants to steal the sky blue strip from Sydney” rule is also official (although this one is at least funny).Quote:

didnt heskey increase our attendence numbers his first year? and pretty sure dwight yorke was pretty big season oneQuote:

I have no dramas with Heart signing Timmy.
I just take offence to this 3rd Marquee situation that is being created.
Either fit him or one of the other Marquee under the cap and reduce the overall quality of their squad.
What upsets me is given time the bigger clubs will exploit this at the detriment of the league's balance.
Whilst we have a salary capped league this is making it more of a farce.
A club with excessive Money should be investing into club infrastructure and juniors to make clubs stronger and give them a competitive advantage over their rivals
Not frittered away on player wages by giving them a better squad
Mooy wont be there next season anyway, so why make the change?
An increase of an average 1,200 bums? Hardly pin point that to just Emile..Quote:

My point is, Marquees should be, what the "Season Guest player" is.. A named player who will increase exposure and bring people to the stadium. We don't need the "Season Guest Player", just so 1 or 2 teams can use all the extra cash they have to make more cash.
Yes, its good for the league, in the short term, but its not good for the league long term, when you end up with the "haves" and the "have nots"...
I don't get the hate of "bandwagon fans".
These are the people we need to bring into see our game, for whatever reason, and enjoy it so much that they become loyal fans.
Agree completely. It makes a complete mockery of the Salary cap to introduce a third marquee (when most clubs cant afford one) just to appease a club and one player.Quote:

Sure Timmy will be great for the league, but the long term implications will be a greater divide between the big and little clubs.
I for one welcome a greater divide between the big and little clubs. The ones with the stupid amounts of money SHOULD spend it and improve the quality of their squads.
I vote for abolishing the celery cap.

Here it comes, the news we already know :P

If we want the league to grow, we need more bums on seats, more tv money both here and abroad and by having the wealthier clubs spending coin on more name players that is one way that will happen, this should in theory flow onto everyone else with more money available in the game. Life is not always fair and if clubs cannot be run effectively then the whole league should not sufferQuote:

They will have NPL calibre players and they will finish dead last. How is that different to last season with the exception that the NPL calibre player's got paid well over their worth by the scum?Quote:
