haz Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Question: Do we offer Rose a year extension? If not which Australians could we get? (I know some of these are under contract) -Elrich -Wilkshire (can he play lb?) -Peraris (convert to LB?) -Corey Brown -James Meredith -A NPL player There's not many options, I'd rather not use a visa in that position.

Shahanga Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I never joined the "Rose hate club", but the guy isn't getting any younger. An extension would be a concern I reckon. James Meredith would be a fantastic signing (why Ange ditched him I have no idea). Surely he's sick of living in Bradford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With another Visa CB and solid keeper, that's a decent defence on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'd resign him as a squaddie, just like this year but at the end of the day will trust the club either way. Meredith would be a good get imo, but probably a decent wage gap between Rose and him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meredith would be a good get imo, but probably a decent wage gap between Rose and him. Meredith is playing regularly for Bradford City. They're 4th in League 1 and in the mix for the promotion play-offs. On transfermarket he's actually valued at less than Josh Rose (which I don't understand), but maybe the difference in wage demand might not be much after all. Rose likes to get forward and link with his winger, and we saw that last night to perfection, but I have no knowledge of Meredith whatsoever.

The Aardvark Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 2 hours ago, Dylan said: I don't think Rose will extend. His family is still on the central coast Can't see why he wouldn't. He signed for us this year, knowing that this would be the scenario re his family. He clearly isn't on huge wages, so he isn't here for money unless he is desperate financially and has nothing lined up post career. The reasons i imagine he is playing for us in order are: -One of those players whose whole life revolves around their chosen sport and will only retire when they are made to. -Is searching for another title to put to his name before he retires and see's us as his best chance to do it -Wanted to prove to CCM that he is still good enough for this level -Has nothing lined up post football and/or is struggling financially enough to need the modest A-League salary he would be getting I would have said he was lining up a move into coaching with us but if so he would have moved his family already. Based on the above probable motivations i would imagine that if we offer him a contract he would take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Socceroo squad. Has played 20 odd games this season and similar numbers the last 2 years. 3 hours ago, jw1739 said: Meredith is playing regularly for Bradford City.

Bombed forward with class, got back to defend. Very impressive I thought. Fox agreed, gave him MoM. Ange didn't, never picked him again.

heart_fan10 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 We were interested in signing Meredith 2 seasons ago but he said the a-league was a shit standard and would consider playing here when he was 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Unrelated but Schweinsteiger has signed for Chicago Fire in the MLS for $4.5m USD a season. It shows how much a club would need to spend to sign a decent well known player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people were expecting too much change under Valkanis, he is very inexperienced so its completely reasonable to assume he will keep things the same as JVS and therefore friday's game was entirely predictable. In saying that, would not be surprised at all if we beat Sydney next week. Would be a typical city/heart thing to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
