David Villa in the A-League? Oh my goodness yes.

Feel like his 10-game contract thing cheapens it a bit. Guys like ADP and Ono, even Heskey who played multiple seasons is what gives the league more credibility. Villa will bring the cameras for sure, but what happens when City can't score a goal after he leaves?

 

[Nate]

tries to think of rational response

...but bitch, it's David Villa!

 

[Burgey]

Yeah look, ripper is right, but I'll still definitely be heading out to watch him play.

Not in the country yet, keep him for the home game!

 

[Nate]

Yeah I'd prefer a cautious approach with him.

Good stuff from the Wanderers. Looking forward to this final.

 

[Burgey]

Wanderers. What a story after only two years in existence. Would be amazing if they get up.

Final will attract a TV audience of approximately 100 million which is probably the biggest audience that any Oz club of any code has ever played in front of

Herculean effort.

you been listening to the marketers again?

Potential TV audience != actual TV audience

There are nearly 30 million in Saudi alone and the vast majority of the country will be watching so 100 mill might prove conservative

Are they playing against Asamoah Gyan? Could be a handful.

edit: No they're not. Was a bit worried there.

 

[Nate]

Frothing for the opening round this weekend.

This is going beautifully, all the people whinging about City sneaking Villa through the back door and not making a big song and dance about it. Now don't play him against Sydney.

He's ours, not the League's.
