But I don't want a VISA player who will miss the start of the season and then probaly miss a couple more matches after having a break (starting on the bench etc.), then missing even more games after he injures himself from over-working. A bit more information. His wages at Derry City immediately prior to his transfer to Dundalk were a mere 28,000 euros. So he certainly wouldn't be a marquee!

Exactly, we broke the goal scoring record that year and if we only had our defence sorted we would have won the title. We had three attacking creative players in Novillo, Mooy and Bruno. Last year we only had 2 (until brandan got injured) So we need Brandan back, a marquee classy number 10 and Bruno 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Joyce will be more flexible than JVS in regards to structuring the team around Bruno, whereas JVS and Valkanis would just keep doing the same thing and wondering why it wasnt working. Last season it was very evident that teams were concentrating on Bruno and we struggled to know what to do when the defenders went to him., The season before wasnt the case because if you put too much time into Bruno, them Mooy or Novillo would get off the leash. Joyce will be pragmatic imo and if the opposition want to double and triple team Bruno, we'll play around him where there's space. But agree that a 10 that can create makes a massive difference; the more focal point we have the better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) We wont be signing another centreback. If there is another defender it will be RB. IMO we use marquee on a 10 and visa on a RB and then plug gaps if there are any with cheap locals/ youth players Edited August 3, 2017 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer it takes and as soon as the bigger leagues start the less my confidence is that we will actually land a gun #10. Even when Brandan does return he was up and down for periods last season. As long as the back is improved then up front we are still good enough to score. Can see alot of 1:0 wins (hopefully ) next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Euro leagues have already started (e.g. Germany 2 and 3 Bundesliga) and others start this coming weekend. And the Europa League qualifiers have been underway for a couple of weeks, as have pre-season inter-club matches. TBH, the longer these remaining signings take, the less confident I am of them being visa players at all, let alone them including a genuine marquee. Squad numbers dictate that we have to make additional signings, but it does seem that they are taking a long time to be finalised. A lot of faith is being placed in the return of Brandan. I'm still unclear as to the extent of his original injury and what treatment was carried out. His style of play is such that I really can't see him being fit for competitive A-League football yet, whatever he says. So back to the first sentence - who knows WTF is happening.

Last season we had already improved our defence over the previous season (that shows how leaky it was), we had problems with our attack as Dylan has identified. It's likely that the upcoming season will be a repeat of last season unless we have a goal scoring 10 and Brandan or an equivalent replacement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
