Makes sense. Has AL experience but won’t block Nieuwenhuizen’s development either. Similar to when City signed Jamie Young

Difference is that Jamie Young was one the best keeper in the league for a half of decade before joining city and Macklin is at best number 2 in this league.

He’s a lower end number 1. He can come in and be solid but he’s also not so good that Nieuwenhuizen has no chance of getting a game either.
 
In my retired keepers opinion, he is a perfect number 2 who can pull out worldies but is too inconsistent to be a number 1 even for sides down the table.

He is a very good at reflex saves and is slightly above average with his feet but his movement around the goal is poor thus conceding goals that either he probably should save or makes it’s look like he has conceded a worldie plus his command of the box is below average.

Given the resources and pull that city have I’d be extremely disappointed if I was a fan of them with this signing.

The Anglo-Palermitan Trophy lands in Australia on 7th August against Melbourne City - Palermo F.C.

Read " The Anglo-Palermitan Trophy lands in Australia on 7th August against Melbourne City" on the official Palermo F.C. website.

Well this is interesting. An intra City Group competition with Palermo at the Sam Kerr Football Centre in Queens Park, Western Australia ( wherever that is )

So a team from overseas play a team from Melbourne at a stadium in Western Australia that has, let me check, seating for 700 spectators.

I mean know it's a friendly but really ?

Yes EZ it's crazy world. I don't even know if this is broadcasted.
 
Leckie and Nabbout being re-signed is a surprise.
Both are so injury prone there has been little return from either of them the last couple of years.
Makes me think the club is not expecting any significant new signings this year.

It’s so odd to the see typically coveted numbers like #8, #9, #10 & #11 all vacant at the same time!
