Deeming Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Troisi not signing for Maccabi Haifa possibly off to Russia or Turkey. Would be foolish to go to Russia. They regularly shaft players and not pay them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 1 hour ago, silva10 said: The reason I say this is that Joyce needs to succeed for the sake of his own career. Of course people will say the best way to do that is play experienced players. However, if there are younger players who are showing more ability, I believe with his background in youth management, he will be prepared to give the younger players a chance. What I am sure off, is that if players like Brattan don't step up to the mark, they won't be playing unlike last season. Â I agree. The problem is the amount of effort required to bring the youth up to senior level is a time investment, and the fact that there is not any real incentive to invest in youth because of the high turnover of players in this league with no transfer fee, then it is easier to poach seasoned players. And personally, given the league environment, I would much rather play 2nd tier senior players than risk playing youth that could lose the team a game because of their inexperience and lack of body hardness, which is a big factor in this league.

kingofhearts Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Fuck just when we finally have our fb's sort out franjic leaves.... He was always a solid rb imo and will be missed. I wonder if their an ex adelaide rb on the market we can sign, because it seems all our players come from there hmm.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 We've got cover if we need it with Muscat and Pierias but I wouldn't see either as first pick material (though Pierias could well be in a year or two). Â We need to bring someone in I reckon. Â Hopefully the club saw this coming even if we didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we need another fullback because Muscat isn't the answer either.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 We should get two visa players. But another marquee, as in well known and better than average player, hardly. Colazo should not be repeated. Brattan will step up when placed into his position. It's hard to speculate as CFG will get unknown players. It's probably easier to predict who is next to leave.

Tony999 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Whilst I'm glad our youth are decent players and can replace our more experienced players l doubt they can step up consistently. People seem to cream themselves when they have a blinder but can they consistently play well at senior level? A visa spot might need to be used to replace Franjic.

neio Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The only Australian guys who played a league last season at right back and with no club is Tratt and Aryn Williams Tratt looked like a solid player at Wellington, but why did he leave? Williams is ok, but would be more a back up then a regular starter  Could we use a visa at right back, and back in the 4 CB we have to do job there?

I tend to think VISA fullbacks are a bit of a waste tbh. Every position in the team is important to a degree but I feel like it's easier to get away with average fullbacks than it is to get away with average players at most other positions in the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
