A-League Transfers and Rumours

[Neilmcloudy]

Bit harsh I reckon on limited info, it's our own curse atm, can't develop soo many and hang on to them all. Loosing some we would prefer to keep will happen, and we have no idea what the master is planning !?

Obviously going to scum is hard to swallow

We didn't want him. Read the other thread.
This is 100% on CCM

Yeah I know people are saying it, and will believe it if someone comes out and confirms that's what actually happened for sure, but so far all I've had confirmed is:
that he has signed for the scum for a first team contract as his scholarship with us ran out.

Two implications -
First is he wanted the shot at a pro contract and the club let his contract expire so he could take it,

Or second - he was told we wouldn't be renewing and the scum gave him an offer afterwards. If this is the case there is very likely a reason that we don't know about, because it can't be on form.

No one seems to know which of these it was and I'll hold out judgement until I know for sure. There's a big difference between the two.

As it has been mentioned.

It was the second. People in the know, know.

Where is it harsh? CCM cut him. He went to the scum.

That's enough for me if you lads are sure. All I could pick up were whispers and so was reluctant to assume.

In that case there must be a reason I'm certainly not privy to. To the most of us his form is enough to renew him without a doubt, as well as being a long term development.

One option is they thought, like Jordan Murray, he's great at this level but doesn't have the extra edge to be developed and sold at pro level, and that we have better prospects. As someone said football is a tough business.

Another is that there is some issue that isn't made public. I know of examples like this that for reasons of general personal consideration I haven't shared widely before. Again, maybe not. Some may know. Time will tell perhaps.

Watched him a few times in the NPL and he looks a good prospect, great distributor of the ball.

Well I thought saying CCM cut him as though it was a bad move was harsh when we don't know the whole plan. I also got the feeling from the article that he was from Scumland? So going home, no certainty that is correct.

Nope. Both he and James are coasties. Moved to Darwin for a few years with family, then back to NSW. Had a couple of years at the academy up the road before moving back to CCM.

Getting anything for him after last season is good business

100%, to me he has the athletic ability however it's all about his attitude. Under the right manager he has potential to be a real weapon. The Irish fella clearly wasn't the right manager.

Tell Storm to empty his pockets.
Tilio has been hiding there since the GF

That attitude has been the same issue across 2 different setups now both with some decent managers. I’m reluctant to put it on the managers at that point and suggest that perhaps he needs to get out of his comfort zone, even stumble or fail, to be open to changing.
