    Although our image isn't the greatest it is a lot better than it was 12 months ago

    We are on an upward spiral.
    Yeah not lightning fast but we are moving forward


    Our appeal is not as bad as you make out.

    Other clubs will have locked in salary caps where as we should have some cash to spend to entice a couple of these blokes home

    It is though imperative Millertime gets the foreigners right

    Add in a bit of creativity in balancing our squad better by shipping a few out sign a couple of Aussies from rival sides pick up a couple of Aussies from OS and we are back competing genuinely for the 6

    Speaking of imports, the impact of Fornaroli this season has been as big as any import in the 11 seasons of the A League. Technically he is up there with the best but he also has the fighting, mongrel, never-say-die attitude which many Uruguayans have instilled in them. This is why he has adapted well to our fairly physical A League while other technical players have failed.
    Our Uruguayan from the first season, Corbo had that mongrel mentality too and would never take a backward step as soon as he crossed that white line.
    Reckon it's worth a shot sussing out 1 or 2 Uruguayans for next season, a LB and a striker preferably.

    I have been searching Uruguayan strikers off contract or coming off contract on transfermarkt, quite a few that I reckon would be worth a look at. Or if city don't fork out the marquee dollars fornaroli now probably deserves we can always throw a marquee spot at him for next season assuming we end up with wealthy owners

    Now that's being pro-active Tommy!

    I would love to have Bruno here too but I think by the time we get this ownership sorted out here will either be City's new marquee or overseas.
    I believe he has stated that he doesn't want to talk contracts till the season has finished, which is what, another 3 weeks maximim if City play in the GF.

    My understanding was that Miller tried to get Ugarkovic before the start of the season but the contract issue didn't allow for it to happen, so he was coming at the end of his contract (then the release happened and we got him early).

    League of Ireland's goal of the month nominations for March - perhaps we could pick up a Keogh ourselves?

    Now that's a bit of an understatement Jeterpool, calling a footballer who will be turning 38 next month...."a bit old" lol.
