theresonlyonebzamora Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 please no more victory rejects. there are 100000000 better players out there. hell, they don't even have to be better, they're just not tarnished. we should not be a scrap heap for the mongs and having thomas would surely contribute to that. so NO.

heart_fan10 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) for a second keeper we should get Jerrad Tyson since Covic has signed on at WSW for another season. He would be one of the few keepers who would sign on a base contract that has a-league experience and is actually a half decent keeper, would be perfect for a backup to Redmayne. Redders is looking better with every game and is going to develop into a top keeper so there's no need to be signing an expensive backup. Tyson is coming off contract at the end of the season and would be great to lock in for 2 seasons.

mus-28 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 With all the doom and gloom surrounding the club atm, would be nice to hear some good news coming from head office. Garcia and Germano extensions should be #1 priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR9 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Best news at the forum was that Germano is close to re-signing!!!! They are very keen on retaining Garcia, but they didn't seem overly confident on doing it. Fingers crossed. Fred, Gray and Hoff look to be finished. And I felt that JA and JD will be keen on retaining Colosimo and Thomo. Transfer window closes on Feb 14 for us and they will be looking to add a central midfielder and fullback (I'm guessing left back, coz they are really happy with Jezza).

I could see him looking around elsewhere unless we string some good results together. Keeping quality players like Garcia comes down to a lot of factors. The ones I think that are important are: 1. Ambition - We simply have to put quality players next to him and prove we are setting ourselves to win the league. No one wants to hang around a club that doesn't win or show they want to win championships. Asian champions league is something he would love on his CV is imagine. 2. National Team recognition - Garcia wants to play for Australia. He loves it and has ambition to play there for as long as possible. If by playing in Australia gives him more exposure to this he will stay. 3. Money & Lifestyle - Pay him the most money we can afford. He should be our most expensive player. With a few retirements and players being released that are on massive salaries this can be accommodated. He loves Melbourne, he's back in his country so he's comfortable. Maybe work hard getting him some sponsorship deals and business opportunities would suffice. I think it's so important we keep our core next year. With Mate coming back next year and a few new signings its positive. Lose Garcia and it won't be.

mus-28 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Get Jeremy Walker and Vrankovic tied down long term to 3 or 4 year contracts. Surely we can pay them $75k for 3 years and reap the reward in the long term. While we're at it Kalmar and Germano should be given another 2 years. We have the nucleus of a very good team, just need to sort out our form on the road and get a centre back in to work with Vranks next season and unleash Paddy in the middle, unless Meeuwis comes good.

samardzija Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Germano deserves 1 more year at most at this moment, doesn't deserve to be tied down for multiple years.

jw1739 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 The other thing that ought to be added is Munn's recent comment that '...we have re-signed all the youngsters we wanted to.' It's not clear precisely what he means by that, but presumably the re-signings include Sam Mitchinson, whom JA said we wanted to retain.

heart_fan10 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 There's no way known Kalmar could justify another contract. He's in the same boat as Hoffman much better player than hoffman and has actually shown that he can dominate games and shown a lot of potential. Although there's a question of his consistency.  the thing with kalmar is i wouldn't think he's on that much money, and the club has to weigh up whether we can find a player on the cheap that can prove himself in the a-league and perform better than kalmar on a consistent basis. The positive about kalmar is he HAS proven himself in this competition, and is familiar with the club and is already settled in.  Sometimes you need players in the squad who are on cheap salaries as just "squad players" who you can bring in a few times a season and they will do a job, and IMO kalmar has been that player for us this year where he's been brought into the squad and was probably responsible for 6-7 points this season.  He's definitely made an impact, so we can't be thinking that we're necessarily going to find better players out there for the type of money he's on that can make a similar impact. Someone like hoffman who in 3 seasons has done aboslutely nothing is a totally different story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) LOL article in tomorrows Herald saying hoffman is close to re-signing. Tadic and Babalj may be heading back to Europe. Garcia wants to stay, long term too, stating he is happy at the club, is a little dissopointed that there hassnt been an offer yet, saying he is used to around christmas time offers get offered. Also they are trying to work out a role for Bolton, he seems to want to stay in some capacity (on or off field) I guess because we have a tiny club they might have put off all the re-signings until the end of the season after a full review or something. I mean you would hope that but who the fuck knows. But im prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt considering its really only JD and JA who would handle this and JA has been pre-occupied blaming refs Edited April 1, 2013 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
