Check out what they named Roy:

O’Donodidivan, the competition’s equal leading goal-scorer with seven, has sat out three games with a groin injury.

I for one welcome O'Donodidivan back to the squad.

For the right price I'd be happy to take him as cover for Vargas.

He plays as a striker and doesnt suit our high tempo game plan at all. You can't play balls in behind for Cahill

Lets hope not.

[Jeterpool]

Cahill leaving, as well as Brandan. That means McCormack will be able to be retained, yeah?

I could see Tim at WSW. He'd link with a former Socceroos Assistant, who has could have an issue with the main striker at the club. The relationship between Gombau and Riera appears a bit frosty at the moment.

Tom Smithies interestingly posted the UAE transfer window opens next week.

Yet ****s insist we keep picking him for Socceroos

Cahill was not a marquee at City this year.

City's two marquees are: Bruno Fornaroli (with McCormack as injury replacement), and Mardin Budzinski (the number 27 from the weekend that didn't do much).

So McCormack staying still relies on Forn + Budz.. Cahill leaving changes nothing.

Cahill frontloaded his contract to the enth degree so was marquee last year but salary cap player this year. Which it's hard not to be skeptical and judge his leaving now a little bit more. He has a hell of an agent.

Don't forget they got the Salary Cap changed to allow an extra marquee thanks to him

Going to benefit the Sydney and Melbourne clubs now long after he gone

Rort from first minute he was here

That extra Marquee rule is gone. FFA removmed the new guest player rule as soon as Cahill became under the cap

Question for the experts here. If a player signs for three years as a marquee. Do they need to be the marquee for the entire contract or just the first year ?

I'd hope it's for the entire duration of the contract, otherwise it's a rort of epic proportions.

They can be front or back loaded.

Cahill's contract was 2 years + an option. First year marquee, second year (this current season) cap player, third i think coaching etc.

Hahmez Troisi, on the other end of the stick, has back loaded his current Victory contract so is cap player this year, marquee next.

Sydney FC once notably front loaded Nick Carle's contract, and he went on loan to somewhere west on a loan during it too.

Sydney's Polish player is under the cap. Which makes City's Polish marquee even more ridiculous to be marquee, when you compare their respective CV's.

Joe Champness, currently with us, recently signed a 3 year deal which sees him continue as a Scholarship Player for this season but become a regular cap player for the next two.

Perth Glory once realised with bonuses etc that they were projecting to accidentally go over the salary cap so instantly moved Thwaite & Marinkovic to marquee spots so they wouldn't rort the cap (which they eventually did anyway).

Clever agents all round.

Thanks PV4 - it's a lot worse than I thought then.

It's not the agents that are clever it's the FFA enabling a system which benefits the clubs with the most money to innovate around the salary cap.

Much the same as the ATO does for the wealthiest citizens as opposed to everyone else come tax time.
