Archie Thompson re-signs for two more years

Archie Thompson has re-signed with the Melbourne Victory for another two years.

Archie has been the club marquee since its inaugural campaign and with him re-signing today, it seems he may continue to be the marquee for the next two years.

As with most things, some fans are happy with the news, while others aren’t quite so pleased. Many don’t consider Archie to be worthy of the marquee role, preferring to use the money to attract a bigger name. But it’s worth remembering that Archie remains the league’s top scorer. And he’s impressive off-the-bench performance against the Newcastle Jets last week was another reminder that Archie, on a good day, is a powerful asset to have on your team.

Michael Theoklitos NOT moving to Everton

But news from the UK is that Everton have signed Carlo Nash as their back-up ‘keeper instead of Theoklitos.

Seems Theo isn’t going anywhere just yet.
