First of all, imagine a lower league team. Then think of the players who had trials with them, but got rejected. Then imagine those players putting on blindfolds and trying to play football. If they are wearing a poxy red and white strip, then you have just pictured Melbourne Heart.

You certain you're not describing my FC Dallas?

I suppose the alternate to having a football powerhouse is to have a football network. Imagine this 2 years ago, Tevez, don't want to play for the team? [Poor language removed] to melbourne then until you do.

 

[EFC David]

Harry Kewell plays for them.

 

[BiggyRat]

Harry Kewell is payed by them.

Fixed that for ya

I took it to mean Chivas USA, personally.

True, FCD has plenty of top picks, which is totally different from training camp castoffs.

Does this mean Man City can sell some unknown player To Melbourne for £20m and claim it as a profit on player trading thus circumventing financial fair play rules?

[Jeff Jones]

But Manchester City haven't bought them, have they? Sheik Mansoor has.

And for his loose change. Less than we got for Jelavic.

So, David Villa will play 10 guest appearances...I guess this is what franchising is all about eh?

I hope he gets to play a game in Perth. I haven't seen a player of that caliber since Brian Deane graced Perth Oval
