toogood18 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Lol. I'm obviously not serious. Anyone think Kewell is a slight possibility for next season? I keep hearing rumblings about how he's unhappy at Victory and he refuses to confirm anything in interviews. But you also hear him saying how settled his family is and how good the city is and how well it's accepted him. So maybe he could be wearing red and white if the deal was right? The likelihood of Kewell coming to us is like the likelihood of Kenny Dalglish deciding to come out of retirement and play for liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian7 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) If anything kewell will move to West Sydney, but anyways lets talk about our team Anyone want Andrezinho? from Perth.

heart_fan10 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Source? someone posted on the 442 forum in the melbourne heart supporters thread that they heard this rumour Zahra was going to perth, so i was wondering if anyone here had heard the same. There really hasn't been any transfer speculation in weeks, it was the only rumour i could find In regards to andrezinho, i think he's turned out to be a very dangerous player. Probably the only true natural left winger in the league, gives the team a lot of width, and can definitely hit a ball. His crosses just around the box have been lethal and cause teams a lot of problems, so if we stuck him out on the left he could form a great partnership with behich and give good service to Babalj. The only issue with him seems to be his fitness, i can't remember him playing a full 90minutes this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) An Andrezinho like left winger, Two CB's and a Fred clone is all we need to be challenging for the double.

LR9 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Really? What, with just a lone 20 year-old available to play at CF? As I posted earlier, and still believe... Our priorities in order should be: 1. CB - Straight into starting XI, who can command and lead the line. 2. Left sided Winger, who can cross (retaining Goodwin could solve this) 3. CF - With a clinical finishing, a name would be nice, 4. AM/Playmaker, 5. Back-up GK (if Bootsa hangs up the gloves) 6. Cover for Full backs, maybe promote youth (Jeremy Walker, Josh Groenwald), 7. One more spot, another posible promotion - Zac Walker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart_fan10 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) @LR9 agree with you completely on that list if we want to be challenging for the title. In bold i've typed the players that i think will fit perfectly in our team Our priorities in order should be: 1. CB - Straight into starting XI, who can command and lead the line. MADASCHI 2. Left sided Winger, who can cross (retaining Goodwin could solve this) GOODWIN/ABBAS/ANDREZINHO 3. CF - With a clinical finishing, a name would be nice. CHARISTEAS 4. AM/Playmaker. VIDOSIC 5. Back-up GK (if Bootsa hangs up the gloves). (hopefully bootsa can stay as backup/GK coach otherwise; BIRIGHITTI 6. Cover for Full backs, maybe promote youth (Jeremy Walker, Josh Groenwald). Don't think it's necessary to sign cover for the full backs as we've got zahra who can play LB/RB and also for me Germano is an outstanding RB. Would be a bonus if Goodwin stays as well 7. One more spot, another posible promotion - Zac Walker? - Use this spot to promote zac walker or sign a promising player from VPL. Would then use the remaining visa spot to sign a big tall experienced DM who can also play as a CB incase a defender is injured to therefore give us some extra cover and some experience in defence. I think JVS was trying to achieve that with thompson but obviously it didn't work. Thwaite would be perfect for that role but i think he's off to perth. IMO the ideal squad would be something like this: GK: Redmayne, Bolton (backup keeper/GK coach) Defenders: Marrone, Madaschi, Good, Hamill, Behich, Goodwin Midfielders: Fred, Shroj, Kalmar, Germano, Vidosic, Thompson, *Visa signing DM/CB Forwards: Babalj, Dugandzic, Charisteas, Zahra, Williams, Hoffman, Abbas Edited April 24, 2012 by heart_fan10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Really? What, with just a lone 20 year-old available to play at CF? I think Eli can get the job the done. Williams and prehaps Walker as cover if injury or poor form hits him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malloy Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Would love madaschi to come back but really cant see it happening.

Libero Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Would by far prefer Goodwin to Andrezinho. Andrezinho doesnt take up a visa spot does he? just had too many wingers this season, and not enough CB or CM's. that was our downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart_fan10 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Almost all of our wingers have left or are shit. We've now only got Dugandzic and Zahra as our wingers. Need to sign at least one natural LEFT winger, which is why andrezinho/abbas would be perfect to sign. Abbas would be good because he doesn't take up a visa spot. The good thing about next season is that there's no olyroos commitments so we won't have behich, dugandzic, babalj, hamill etc... missing important games.

Should at least cut his salary in half and pay the rest as his 'GK coach' wage It doesn't work like that. Both Greenacre and Zois where assistants and players, but 100% off their wage counted towards the cap. However we have plenty of room to spare, plus two marquee places to play around with if we need more cap space. I think it would be good for Redders to train with and play alongside Bolton. Play him in the preseason, etc. But make Redders work for his place in the side, instead of handing him a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
