Rumours are that McLaren has been lined up for a move to Auckland FC

Adelaide’s 18 year old striker Nestory Irakunda just scored a goal that demonstrated why Bayern Munich have signed him.

Musa Toure, who we have been linked with, on the bench for Adelaide against Macarthur.

Toure comes on in 86th minute for his 10th (all off the bench);A League appearance

Central Coast mariners just beat a team from Kyrgistan 3-0 to qualify for AFC Cup final against a club side from Lebanon.

The final will be played somewhere in west Asia.


A million dollar pay day even if they lose double that and more if they win.

Possible Hibs targets Josh Nisbet and Jacob Farrell both had solid games with Nisbet providing an excellent ball for the second goal.

Just googled Central Coast Mariners to read about this, and one of the first things that came up was a story about one of the players being arrested at the airport after the first leg, and temporarily suspended by the league, after being charged with rape!

I take it that's big news over there?

2 EPL players, 19 year old, arrested for alleged rape, big news over here.

One report said arrested at airport….when they returned from the first leg…other reports said he was arrested at a property in Terrigal.

Certainly made the news….but fitba isn’t the main sport here so it hasn’t received the same blanket publicity that there would be if it was a Rugby League or AFL player.

The guy was Angel Torres…a Colombian who was their top scorer….he scored a few goals right enough, but I didn’t fancy him much as I would describe him as someone who played for himself rather than the team.

And CCM supporters player of the year.

Mariners are playing in the AFC cup final in Oman on 5th May.

Wouldn’t expect any announcement on Nisbet’s future until after then, but so far nothing leaking out about his plans yet.

See Jamie Mac has announced he’s leaving end of the season also says he’s leaving the league, be interesting to see where he goes, also seen some really impressive stats on wellington phoenix goalie Alex Paulsen only 21 as well be worth keeping an eye on him, 27 games 80.9% save percentage 26 conceded 12.94 goals saved 11 clean sheets and 3 pens saved out of 5 faced not bad for a young lad at all

McLaren was on a rumoured $1 million a year contract at City and was offered a much lesser amount on an extension which he turned down.

Was also rumoured that he was going to our new sister club in Auckland, but now the smart money is on him following Jason Cummings example and going to India.

Said it before on here this season but Paulsen has been very good and should be keeping an eye on him. However we have such a poor record of turning promising young keepers into first team regulars!

I saw a Twitter page yesterday linking Rangers and some English championship clubs with a player from MacArthur, Raphael Borges Rodrigues.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raph...spieler/704398

Looking at his profile he seems to fit the sort of criteria of a player we would go for, anybody know much about him or think we would have a chance?

He plays on the left wing.

I first saw him play in a tournament for the Olyroos…..the under 23 national side a few months ago and while he was ok, he was no stand out.

Played a few games with Melbourne City before moving to Macarthur this season.

Watched him a few times with Macarthur recently and while he’s done ok and scored a couple of goals, I would be very surprised if overseas clubs considered him ‘star’ material and tbh sounds like yet another agent beating the drums.


He may well play overseas at some point but would be surprised if Rangers were interested in him….Celtic already made a faux pas signing Tillio, and there isn’t much between them at the moment imho.

He’s 20 though, and has plenty time to develop a bit I guess.

Yeah I see your point, I do think you need to be weary though with young goalkeepers check the Andy McNeil example it just needs a high profile error or 2 and your done for, signing a young guy who is playing regular already might be different though as the confidence will be established

You just like him cause of his name. If it had half the amount of syllables he’d never get a mention

Absolutely.

The day I don’t get excited about the possibility of us signing a winger called Raphael Borges Rodrigues just put me down.

Even if I have completely made up the rumour myself in the hope it gains some traction.
