God knows we need a left back, his a free agent as well.

Release the Kraken

We don't have Man City to pay the difference in their wage demands to fit players under the cap

So... Lampard to City?

Looking likely.

Sounds like it will be a guest stint before heading to NY just like David Villa.

I thought there was only one guest stint per year?

May be the case.

Apaprently if it is, they'll pay him $50k as a loan for 10 or so games, then cancel the loan. Similar to what we did with Burns.

Correct Melbourne City never said Villa was on a guest contract just said he would be here until December. It was the media that said it's a guess contract, Villa could very much be on loan as well.

yup only 1 guest allowed. Either Villa or Lampard will be marquee until Jan/feb transfer window when they will be replaced

I think you'll find if you read back I've stated it all along. If you want to stake claim to it I'll give you all the credit for it.

I did read back but I couldn't care less about credit, it's just a little creepy. Page 22 of this thread there is plenty of debate on wether Villa was a guest or not.

To be fair, I am 99% sure there was a foxsports article on the permutations for MCFC fitting Villa into the squad, although I can't find it now. We probably read the same article haha.

All good... I will add but I'm not prepared to say he is or isn't on a guest contract as I cant find any relevant details released by Melbourne City

It's a loan deal not confirmed as Guest. Below is the MCFC press release and Scott Munn stated on SEN at the time that they would decide later how the contract would be registered.

Couldn't care less if it's all legit or not. Just looking forward to seeing some of this class in the A-league.

Will have to get sorted if I'm going to make it to AAMI Park for the Jets game :pissup:
