Marco Tilio

Lawwell jnr and ange agreed to sign this * and brendan okayed it * me lol

 

Remember Brendan has last say on transfers..

Maybe it's best he has no * say..

 

Think 99% of the fanbase knew it was going to go this way from day one.

Another dud.

 

Scouted for years was the claim when he was signed.. * years.. 6 months later hes not deemed good enough and away on loan to the other side of the world in a * league and probably never be heard of again..

Some laugh our recruitment

 

What a waste of time and effort this turned out to be. Signed, injured and now punted.

Literally no positives to this Tillio signing.

 

We tracked this * for 2 years.



More evidence of the Mark Lawwell masterclass which was last summer.

 

Vata looked far better from his cameos.

 

MELBOURNE CITY FC WELCOMES BACK FAN FAVOURITE MARCO TILIO


Melbourne City FC is thrilled to announce the return of attacker, Marco Tilio, who will rejoin the club on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 A-League Men season.

Tilio, a fan favourite, previously enjoyed three seasons at City before making the move to Scottish Premiership side Celtic FC in an Australian record transfer move in June 2023.

In a huge boost to Head Coach Aurelio Vidmar’s squad, Tilio will return to Melbourne until the end of the season where he will be looking to impress on the pitch and bank valuable minutes ahead of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.

Tilio returns to the Club where he netted 20 goals and 19 assists in 86 appearances, helping City win one Championship and a record-breaking three consecutive Premierships.


Melbourne City FC Director of Football, Michael Petrillo, said:

“We’re thrilled to have Marco back at City. His impact during his previous stay with us was significant, and we believe his technical skills, pace and work ethic will add another dimension to our attack.

“Marco’s return is a testament to the strong relationships we maintain, and we’re grateful to Celtic FC for facilitating this loan.”

Men’s Head Coach, Aurelio Vidmar, said:

“We are delighted to welcome a player of Marco’s calibre back to Melbourne City. His technical ability, vision and ability to run at defenders will make him an asset to our team.

“We’re confident his return will provide a boost as we look to continue to climb the table across the back end of the season.”

Marco Tilio added:

“I’m thrilled to be back at City. The memories and experiences from my time here are unforgettable, and I can’t wait to contribute to the team’s success once again.

 

1 less dud bloating the squad for a few months I guess.

Dreadful signing.

Surely there must be some * on that board questioning the head of recruitment and exactly how he got the job.

 

I know I'll never get an answer to this, but how is it okay to lose 1.8 million pounds on this signing, but not okay to increase a bid for a player we want by £500k?

 

Makes absolutely * all sense. We already know he's a good A-League player so what's the point in sending him back there?

Also if training levels were an issue as some have suggested then why send him back to the club that accepted those training levels in the first place.

 

He clearly doesn't.

 

In a long line of midgets

 

Some * on the board is probably his uncle and got him the job.

 

Cheerio

 

Someone is wanting to get rid of guys not long signed and I can’t see it being Mark Lawwell.

 

If he had the last say on transfers, they wouldn't have been here in the first place.

 

I take your point but on the other hand, Rogic also went on loan back to an A-League club before coming back and really kicking on, so who knows?

For now, I'm just glad that he is playing football somewhere, rather than sitting in the fringes of the squad and for whatever reason barely getting a look in here.
