Melbourne Victory agree massive record fee for Hernandez

that was to leave the country for another team .... not to stay in the a league ..... idiots!

Johan & lol: We're talking about an Aussie club doing the spending in this case.
A-League clubs have sold players for these kind of prices but never purchased them.
The proceeds from the sale of players like burns, york & djite would have helped the clubs pay off debts & expenses. Making a $500,000 purchase is totally different as it's a massive risk for any a-league club.

Er, how many clubs are willing to PAY for a player to the tune of $500,000? How many? None!

burns got sold for over 500k and djite was around the 1m mark I think.

Massive? Record? Dwight Yorke went back to Sunderland for 500000+
