That third goal was a thing of beauty. Good to see Kenny still can't finish.

Turnover king! We can do much better for a marquee spot.
Under the cap... yeah i’ll Take as long as he shaves that horrible beard.

We could play him at CB next to Deng. The German guy we supposedly signed Hoogland could play DM.

Whenever I see notifications for this thread I get my hopes up we signed somebody

Hi!

 

[craigos]

Besart has parted ways with his club and is now an Australian citizen. Guaranteed to end up at an A League club.

 

[Quivorir]

Perfect cover for all those games Kruse won't play.

 

[craigos]

Is it true Donachie was training with the squad yesterday? Like a reunion down there at the moment.

 

[darko]

Just announced Hoogland.

 

[Milanista28]

Yeah Donachie looks back in.

Should have googled myself.

Melbourne Victory is pleased to announce the signing of centre-backs Tim Hoogland and James Donachie in a boost to the club’s defensive stocks.

 

[craigos]

Both on one year contracts which is a bit disappointing.

 

[craigos]

So according to Marcos list:

Two centre backs
Two midfielders
Number 10

 

[peternorth]

is donny back on loan?

Tim Hoogland signs from German side VfL Bochum on a one-year contract,
James Donachie formally returns to Victory following a loan from Korean side Jeonnam Dragons, also on a one-year contract.

So thats a yes

The kind of notifications I like!

Glad Donachie. It is a bit funny though. Who's next, Best?

On a serious note, what are we missing? Two midfielders, most importantly an attacking one? Elvis can always cover wing and midfield, but we definitely need both positions still. As much as Kruse should be good at A League level I don't trust his body.

 

[darko]

2 visa spots. 2 mids.

Coutinho is looking to get out of barca

Marchisio is free. I wonder what he'd ask for? Lol

I often wonder why the A League doesn't go for more south Americans. There would be bench warmers and depth players from clubs like River Plate who can't get a single minute, and who might have grown up in a favela or something and would love our lifestyle. Same goes for some of the Asian countries.

 

[Quivorir]

Looking forward to up coming 17/18 season. Have a really good feeling about it.

Just opened the email myself and I don't have images on auto show. The alt text for the membership pack image in the "when will I see my membership pack" div says Kevin Muscat. The entire email template from last season has been reused and unaltered lol. This season is shaping up to be a belter.

I hope we keep the wide chevron for the home kit. I also hope that the A League logo gets moved to the sleeve once the independent league is up and running.
