Originalmeme Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Harrison said: As much as I love Bart and rate him as the best defender in the league, we don't need him to win the title. Galloway/Good/Delbridge/Jamieson in front of Bouzanis/Birighitti wins us a title IMO. But we'd need to find a pretty good midfielder to compensate. Someone who can basically control the tempo of the game and create plenty of chances. A quick, goalscoring winger would complete our team. someone like kilkenny LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Isn't Tony Pignata, formerly CEO of Sydney, the CEO of Perth now? These two clubs seem to know how to get top A-League players under the cap and decent marquees outside it. We're not going to get close to them unless we get better players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would't cry if he did TBH. I don't think a club needs two GKs of almost equal ability when it's highly likely one will sit on the bench all season. However, the club as so far indicated that it wishes to keep him to his contract, and I'm happy with that stance. IMO too many A-League players get to just walk away from a sound contract. My message to Birighitti would be "don't sign for 3 seasons if you think you might want to leave." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down mate. He made one or two mistakes in a game...it happens. IIRC his team was awful that day and he didn’t have much help, in fact he made a number of good saves. His form over several seasons down here was very good, which was why he got to Europe in the first place. No reason to think he couldn’t reproduce that form, and plenty of clubs would take him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birighitti, Budzinski, Cahill, Kilkenny, Arzani, Pierias, Fornaroli.etc, etc. Fucking tool, even more surprising is the clowns who said, “greattt, let’s give that guy big dollars to sit down for a season. He looks like he could use the R & R” That’s what happens when you let the patients run the mental ward. Idiots. By the way Joyce’s tea-baggers need to go too. Nothing will change if any of those muppets are involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 A decent head coach will change everything. But he needs the full support of the higher-ups so that he can make changes to the coaching staff and squad if he sees fit. Joyce seemingly got that support so that gives me hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At city he thought he would be second choice behind bouza then Eugene was called in. Then bouza left and thought he'd be second behind Eugene. Then birra was called in. Probably had enough of the false promises and decided to leave. Good luck to the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very solid list of Australian signings but the rest of the foreign signings will be key. Kone and Kurto are decent and if they nail the remaining three then they will be a hard team to beat. Probably a finals finish at this point but could finish very high, which would be good for them and the league and terrible for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
