roff, where's he going to go?
So does Marco...
What sort of get-out clause? My guess would be some max transfer for a european comp which isn't really relevent at the moment.

I wonder if any of the clubs will have a look at Vince Grella. He is off contract at the end of the season, and his recent injury history will scare off most foreign clubs.
Surely Sorlazano is more likely to drop off the Victory squad.
maybe they'll want Danny Allsop now

From Soccernet - "There was an astonishing queue of 22 clubs from four continents who approached Beckham for his services; clubs in South America - notably Brazil, from Asia, Australia and Europe, including the Premier League."

He needs to be in Aussie 6 more months to qualify for them, so I would say he is back from Germany to meet that requirement.
Julius Davis, an african/australian teenager formerly signed as a youth player for bayern munich has started training with victory. Apparently an attacking midfielder. I believe he previously lived in Australia long enough not to count as an import. Wonder what that means, if anything, about Rojas' spot?

The global financial crisis has forced some high-quality players to revalue their next contract, and the A-League - one of the Asian Football Confederation's better-paid competitions - is becoming a frontier worth investigating.
A European agent is offering playmaker Bryan Bergougnoux, 29, currently on loan from Italy's Lecce to France's Chateauroux; Nice right-back Francois Clerc, 28; and Honduran playmaker Julio Cesar Dailey Leon, 31, from China's Shandong Luneng, to A-League clubs.

Surely Rodi is looking at the Victory squad and thinking his decision to move his son across the ditch was a bit premature??
Rodi may have put his two cents on the table but it was ultimately Marco's choice to move.
I think the new manager is probably better for him. Word is that Melbourne will be changing to a 4-2-3-1, which at least means his best position actually exists in their formation. I think tonights game could be very important for him. Magilton has said he will give their non-starting players a chance but he has a few players he knows that might move their. Since these are all foreigners the import status could really bite Marco. Just got a feeling we might get Marco back assuming Ricki wants him.
Not making the match day squad suggests the management change isn't positive.
Solarzano got his bench spot, gee foreign signing not even on the bench like you point out does not look good for him...........

Yep, the Hyphen one was mentioned during the Jets game. Caused a fair bit of mirth in this quarter.

This is funny
Victory wants to do business this month but is limited with little more than $100,000 left in the cap.
In a deal that would have freed up a visa spot, Solorzano was offered to Newcastle Jets in exchange for defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley in December, but it collapsed when coach Mehmet Durakovic was sacked.
Victory is prepared to release Ricardinho on a free transfer and managing director Richard Wilson is confident a deal can be struck before the A-League transfer window closes in a month.
"We're not bringing him back. We're working on his situation at the moment because his loan with the Brazilian club has finished," Wilson said.
"If we finalise a financial arrangement that's agreeable then we free up the visa spot. Otherwise he's still on our books.
"We're in the market but we haven't done any deals.
"Are we likely to? It's a possibility. We've still got a bit of money in the cap and room on the roster. It's difficult to do anything in the January window, but we're in the market and we've had players offered to us both locally and overseas."
Wilson said while the club was juggling short and long-term targets, Victory was after players who could make an immediate impact.
"This window is primarily about shoring up our list to get the best result we can this season," he said.
Brazilian striker Ricardinho, whose salary is in excess of $300,000, has been back on the A-League club's books since December when his loan spell at Brazilian second division side Parana ended.
He remains contracted with Victory until April 30.
Dumped by Victory after a miserly return of two goals in 19 games, he consumes a sizeable chunk of the salary cap.
Only Harry Kewell and Archie Thompson pocket more, with Kosta Rican star Carlos Hernandez believed to be in that ball park.
Coach Jim Magilton last week told the Herald Sun he was targeting at least one international, but with Ricardinho taking up the fifth and final visa spot after Hernandez, Jean Carlos Solorzano, Fabio and Marco Rojas, his hands are tied.

I read that this morning on the bus on the way to work.
Interesting that Solorzano and Rojas are not exactly starting regulars.
Meanwhile Finnish striker Juho Makela's unhappy time at Sydney is coming
to a close after the player was told he will not be offered a new
contract for next season, and can leave immediately if he can find a new
club.
