Too much silver not enough gold players It's rumoured that Scott Jamieson is looking for a return home and wants to sign for us. If he does it will be his fifth a-league club.

You don't go signing players straight away. It's like saying 'Hellenic Hero this is your new construction site, you need to build a wall hear.

FootscrayRover Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Jamo a good solid signing. A 4 year deal is interesting considering he hasnt lasted more than a couple of seasons for his last 4 clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So until it gets knocked on the head surely people can bring it up as a possibility, why would the FFA take away something that had the media in a frenzy and massive coverage like the start of last season.

Inferno Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Back from when I worked at South Melbourne, I got to know Joe Palastedis. We caught up yesterday and he reckons we still have a lot to come. He said that Wazzas wants Jonjo Shelvy to City as he thinks it is a great deal and loves his physical style of play. Done deal Thursday 10 AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
