The outlay for Ross is a pittance in the Chinese league. You would think SHA/Sunderland/Hull would be keen in Jan, would be happy to see him go to any of those.

I am sure they are not but the owner is cutting his losses and clawing back whatever he can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we were able to shift some players on loan and sell others. And I assume Tony injected hard cash as well. Not sure how many have exited Sunderland but if it's not many they will be hemorrhaging money. Premier League wages are just so off the scale now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Quote Goal machine McCormack hints at extending Melbourne City stay After scoring twice on Saturday night to power Melbourne City to a precious win, striker Ross McCormack has hinted he could stay in the Hyundai A-League until season's end. The Scottish striker, on loan from Aston Villa as an injury replacement for Bruno Fornaroli, has now scored ten goals this season after his two goals helped City to a 2-1 win over Phoenix at AAMI Park. He told Fox Sports he hopes the two clubs can come to an agreement. "I think the club might be talking to Aston Villa as well to see if I can stay for the season. "It'd be good if they could do that," he said. Though he wasn't sure when the decision would be made. "You'd need to ask the powers that be. I'm not sure." https://www.a-league.com.au/news/goal-machine-mccormack-hints-extending-melbourne-city-stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing what A league players get paid (kind of) I think we will be paying 60%-70% of his wages at best. Just an idea..... why don't we sell him to man city!

sidcow Posted January 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2018 He mentioned in the Australian press that the clubs are talking about extending for the rest of the season. Good, as he's scored 90% of their goals since he's been there I am sure they will be happy to pay a loan fee and increase the amount of his wages they pay to 100%.
