Anyone else reckon it's unusual how many central/wide attacking midfielders Melbourne City have brought in? They play a 4-2-3-1, with 4 out of 5 of their imports all operating in the line of the three attacking midfielders behind the centre forward. Quite interesting considering City also have two of the league's biggest teenage talents in Denis Genreau and Ramy Najjarine, who both play as a 10. Ridiculous depth in their midfield yet not so much in their defence. 

Perth Glory not lacking in defenders. Most all Popa's signings are either defenders or DM's. They going to be solid at the back again. Winning formula like last year?

We are pleased to announce striker @yeeengi7 has officially signed a scholarship contract with the Club. ? #AUFC

How old is he, 73?

Ahahaha my first thought as well!

36 but he is a medical miracle, did his ACL in the GF and is back fully for for the start of a new season.

Reads like he tore his ACL as opposed to doing a full rupture. Its a long off season for rehab, but still a tough injury to come back from.

Perth have signed some quality full backs so he won't need to be a starter straight away.

Yeah it was a tear but at 36, even that surely is tough to come back from. He is gonna be a depth signing for their CBs but we said that last season and he was a starter for most of the season.

Riley's Return! ?
