JAMES Troisi has confirmed that talks with Melbourne Victory have broken down, as he appears headed for a return to Europe.
The Socceroos attacker looks set to join Premier League newcomers Brighton, with negotiations intensifying this week.
Victory and Troisi’s representatives were in talks over a marquee contract and while figures were discussed verbally, the player said no formal offer was made.
Troisi, who played 90 minutes in the Socceroos’ 4-0 loss to Brazil on Tuesday, said regular games were the main prerequisite when deciding his new home.
“Not yet, a few bits and pieces (are) happening. I’ll focus on the Confeds and sign after that,’’ Troisi said.

Slightly worried about all these Australians who will piss off to the other side of the world for internationals!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Hope not!

Ryan i'm OK with, not this guy though.

Lazy journalism, Hughton was linked with him while he was at Norwich.

I've never heard of him. I do watch the odd A league game.

Same article though isn't it

Assume another News Corp owned paper

I don't like to form a strong opinion on a player before seeing them a couple of times in the flesh, but from the 6 or 7 times I've seen him in A-League games I'm not hopeful.

Poor decision making. Loves a stupid long shot from 35 yards when others are better placed. As I commented when his name was mentioned before, he reminded me of Gary Gardner.

WHO

 

[HastingsSeagull]

I can't see it myself and believe it's spelt Troisi

 

[Ernest]

Surely we don't have to go half way round the world to SING players like this, plenty of talent in England that is far less a gamble

 

[Arthur]

Watch a lot of A League and he is one of the stars of the league and certainly knows where the goal is.

That said that isn't saying a lot. The quality of the league is getting better but on the whole its probably similar quality to the 3rd or 4th division over here.

As I said Troisi is one of the better players but premier league quality?? Doubtful.

The Aussies seem to agree with you:

I lived in Melbourne for 2 years from 2012-2014 when Troisi was on loan there from Atlanta. He was unplayable, then made the switch to Juve and never got a game.

This season he has been AWFUL. A-League below average standard.

Now he's useless, no pace and poor decision making and VERY lazy.

 

[Wellesley]

Oooh, this is exciting!

SBS.AU report today.
"Sources in UK claim we have pulled out after Troisi sought more than double the $12,000 a week offer made to his management".

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Hope that's right, don't care if he's a fellow countryman, he's rubbish!

Only want Aussies if they are of Paul Reid quality thanks very much.

 

[middletoenail]

I'm not surprised, that's 'only' about £7k a week that we're offering!

Some players in league one will be on that!

The article on SBS says that whilst their may have been first team opportunities for him, we were likely looking to loan him out in view of an on sale! Gets weird!

It's understood that while Troisi would have been in contention to push for first team selection, the club were also weighing the option of loaning him out with a view to an on-sale.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I wouldn't pay a pie and a Big M for him.
