strider Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Shit cunt. Not impressed one bit in the few games he has played. Just another midfielder added to the squad.

Not sure about him Surely there are enough examples of someone saying "he's too small" that come back to bite them on the arse for people to stop doing it? If he fails it will be because he's not good enough, not because he's too small. Having said that, he hasn't been too impressive thus far. Hoping he's just taking a bit of time to settle/get used to the team and language etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knutty Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 One visa player is bound to be average or in our case like half of them usually. So if he only just stays a bench player but is pushing Kamau to constantly star to kept his spot then that's good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far quality Bruno Sorensen Yet to be proven Brandan and Jakobson. And if Colazo rumour eventuates we will 3 unknowns. But having said that pretty confident the scouts and analysis is improving every signing. My only querie will be Jakobson adapting to the harder pitches coming from South America Brandan and Colazo * should be similar to Bruno who played nearly every minute. Really impressed so far. But will wait till they've played a few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 In reality to most Australian fans any particular overseas player is an "unknown", and for non-football people they've hardly heard of any football player except a handful of the really big world names. While we have the restrictions on the squad we have, "getting it right" is finding good players who for some reason are undervalued where they are - such as Bruno. I'm confident that with CFG we've got a better chance of doing that than the other clubs have. But the gap will keep narrowing as the league grows and the other clubs get more resources behind them.

Deluka Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I feel like Jakobson is almost a lower risk signing than Brandan purely because he would have come with the Sorensen seal of approval. A goalkeeper will tell you how it is with defenders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically someone like De Silva was/is ahead of the pack, so it's worth taking a punt on him as he is more likely than a lot of other players to become a top player. Though being 'more likely' isn't saying much, it's hard to pick who actually will go on and continue developing at a rapid rate, hence why most players in the youth teams at big clubs or in u20 national teams etc dont end up going very far in their careers. Point is that just playing regularly in the A-League at 18 is actually very good, it certainly says more about a player than playing even in an EPL youth team (hence why european countries that actually develop good youth have B teams rather than youth/reserves team, better to play against 3rd tier senior teams than top youth teams). Only downside is the season is too short. Edited September 3, 2016 by Tesla 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
