yeah he's not going to do much to repair the attitude problem in the squad. we need a creative 10 anyway not just another pair of legs.
if we are looking for a work horse i'd prefer to see a move made to try and lure mauk back. whatever happens i just hope a manager is appointed well before any squad decisions/signings are made. it would be dumb as fuck to approach it any other way.
i have plenty of players i'd like bought in but there is not much point getting too bogged down until we know who the new boss is and how they like their teams to line up. the signings i would think necessary are gonna be very different if we bring in a 3-4-3 or 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1 boss.
no matter who the boss or their style we definitely need a second first string centre back to work with jakobsen. malik and tongyik cannot be the first choice centre backs.
What is it with footballers and their hair? Many of them look complete dickheads. Brattan is one of them. More time working on his game and less in front of the mirror would do him no harm at all.

Nuts sit in a ceramic container with lid on the kitchen bench. Because I'm always taking a few.
Merrick's overall record for the A-League is 100 wins in 241 matches for a win percentage of 41.49. If he can do that at Newcastle then that's good enough to take the club to finish somewhere in the range 3rd-6th.
The challenge for the league seems to be whether any of the remaining eight clubs can develop the right mentality to regularly mount a serious challenge for silverware as Sydney and Victory appear to have done.
Were you around last off-season? If not, you'd better get used to the agony of about 5 months where you won't know what the hell is going on out there at CFA.
His performance in that derby win last year where he was unbeatable is probably close to the best individual performance in a game I've seen from anyone wearing a Heart/City shirt. A true gentlemen and an absolute champion. Will be very sorely missed.
