HeartFc Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Brattan on his day is fantastic player but I honesty don't think he's fit enough to be a championship winning mid. He runs out of gas by the 60th minute these days and unless he can drop 5 kegs and have a great preseason I don't see him as a huge loss.

Popular Post Mr MO Posted July 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I think Luke Brattan is severally underestimated. His ball control and passing range is excellent for this league. I’m 100% convinced that this slow build play and dwelling on the ball aspect is mostly because 1) we didn’t make any proper runs forward 2) he deliberately skips players as he knows that some players struggle with ball control at pace. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. He isn't a one-touch maestro when it comes to ball disposal, however, the main issue was the lack of forward runs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because ROI on players and the club is priority number one. We have this discussion every year, CFG has capped marquee spots and we just need to work and be creative with the budget which is firmly set. I’ve already accepted it some seasons back but yeah all of still live in hope. Edited July 20, 2019 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all our resources we sign two unknowns it’s just frustrating having so many resources and not being more ambitious in the transfer market. I don't know why people keep bringing this up. City made it quite clear right from the start that we would not see "big-name players." 23rd January 2014 - Txiki Begiristain, Director of Football: "It's not about the names, it's about the player. We don't need a big name, we need a big player and a big player will develop into a big name,'' Begiristain told the 'Herald Sun.' "He has to add something more than a name. Commitment with the group and the football in Australia, experience to teach the players and help the coach." So far we haven't got it quite right, although we could point to Bruno Fornaroli as being a success, and also Fernando Brandan (both until Warren Joyce came along). There are a lot of things that CFG has "done right" during the five seasons so far. CFA, the Academy and the youth teams, the women's team, our community programs. IMO there are times when we tend to forget about them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very true but whilst I think many of us appreciate it they don’t buy a membership for these reasons. They won’t hesitate to trade in all those things for titles, full stands, good football and proper marquee and visa players.
