Get another visa (CB) in the back 4 with Jakobsen, find a local LB and hopefully Franjic can recapture his old form and desire at RB. Bouzanis *should* improve with a more stable defence. Caceres can go to Europe and stay there. Rest can fight for the bench, including Cahill who as great as he is, shouldn't be considered a starter at 38. Get a manager who actually knows his shit and there it is. My thoughts anyway. 100% with you on Brattan vs Caceras... Brattan, Kilkenny and a proper Playmaker, whether it be a cm as a flat three or a #10, would be considerably better and more affective then having Caceras in there somewhere. We desperately need 2x LB a good starter and maybe a younger sub? Bouzanis' future should only be as our 2nd keeper. Nowhere near good enough to be our starter. Need someone with better leadership, who can order a defence, who's not scared to come off his line. Pretty much a keeper that has more skills then just being a half decent shot stopper... The MOST inportant is a TOP coach. Without one, it'll be another wasted season. I said it start of this season, we wouldn't win anything with JVS. Couldn't do it last year, wasn't going to this year. I'd be 100 times happier with a top coach but average new players. you'd find guys like Bouzanis, Malik, Rose wouldn't look so bad if we played to the teams strengths. On Mitch Nichols... Please no! There aren't any current players that have been released that I'd take other than Martinez but not sure I'd waste the Marquee spot on him... Dream Marquee - Honda... Would solve our lack of a playmaker problem as well as adding some commercial value... Shirt sales always jump up when he signs up because he's got a huge fan base in Japan. If John Roberts is a done deal then that's a good pick up. Kid looks quality and better to have a kid as a sub for Bruno rather then an average striker.

I don't think theyve been released in the traditional sense, rather than theyve come to the end of their contracts and wish to pursue other option. Baro wants to stay in A-league apparently. Wouldn't mind him tbh. Quote Unattached defender Alan Baro is keen to stay in the A-League after being told by former club Melbourne Victory that his one-year contract would not be renewed. It was reported two days ago Victory coach Kevin Muscat did not offer Baro a new deal because the visa spot could be used for more attacking flair. https://www.fourfourtwo.com.au/news/baro-exploring-a-league-options-461823 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I wouldn't have thought a collar bone injury would be too disastrous, particularly with 5 months to go before the start of next season. I'm surprised at the Scum's decision on Alan Baro - indeed on their clear-out. I would think he's well worth some serious consideration.

Davy21 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Mitch Nichols just got charged with cocaine possession. FORMER Western Sydney Wanderers star and Socceroo Mitch Nichols has been charged with possession of cocaine at a Sydney nightclub. Nichols, 28, who was released by the Wanderers last week, was allegedly at Casablanca nightclub in Double Bay in the early hours of last Saturday when police conducted a random drug sweep. Just before 12.30am police located three small clear resealable plastic bags containing about 1.1 grams of a white powder which they believed to be cocaine. Police confiscated the drugs and issued Nichols with a field court attendance notice for possess prohibited drug. He is due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on Friday 9 June. Nichols was allegedly arrested following a random drug sweep at Cassablanca nightclub in Double Bay on Friday night. Nichols was told last week that his contract at Western Sydney would not be renewed for next season, and the midfielder is believed to want to try his luck in the European leagues. However any offence would still be within the jurisdiction of Football Federation Australia once his contract expires at the end of this month. All of the Western Sydney players are currently on leave, including those who are being released.Police allegedly found three resealable bags during the operation at Casablanca nightclu Under FFA’s Code of Conduct, that applies to all registered players, there is a catch-all “bringing the game into disrepute” charge, under which players can be suspended immediately at the discretion of the governing body. The Code specifically notes that it “continues to apply to a member even after that member’s association, registration, employment or engagement has ended, if that member breached this code while a current member.” In effect he could be suspended even without having a contract, though the Code also notes that a player must be given due notice of any potential charge and the right to a fair hearing. Nichols was released after a disappointing season in which Western Sydney only just made the finals, and were eliminated at the first hurdle. He won two A-League titles with Brisbane Roar and has played five times for his country, though not since Ange Postecoglou — his former boss at Brisbane — took charge.

Can't see that being the case. Unless there's a clause in his contract that determines that an offense such as that leads to termination without a payout we'd have to carry his costs under the salary cap, which seems like cutting our nose off to spite our face. I think that we'll be looking for a new keeper to push him to the bench though. 21 minutes ago, bt50 said: He was their marquee though wasnt he? Doesnt matter what they pay him in that instance.
