I think we also have to remember that this squad was built in Rado's vision with the intention that every signing was brought in for a specific role that Rado wanted, obviously after being sacked after 2 games and then Aurelio coming in meant some players moved around and certain players either became more or less in favour.

We have Antonis and Lopane on paper
Antonis doesn't seem to be rated as a starter although I think he has played quite well & Lopane is still only young

Doubt it. If we do, why didn't we use it right from the start?
My thinking is start of the season the midfield 3 was be Arslan, Ugarkovic, Sakhi, with Sakhi as an 8, but now that Sakhi is playing more as a defensive midfielder it means Ugarkovic has dropped from the starting XI, and we don't really have a midfielder to partner Arslan.

Do we have cap space for such a midfielder?
No idea, hope we do cause we need some more quality if we want to do anything this season

From a mate of mine, City member. Don't know his source.
It would kind of benefit City if it happened tbh, Bring back Tilio on loan and have a spare visa slot for a box to box type midfielder

Vidmar seems like a great motivator but tactically is very average, has been found out in the ACL and select managers in the ALM.
Whoever becomes head coach next season needs be on a serious level above.

However, now I'm not sure because I have heard that he is leaving shortly and going back to Brazil
Where did you hear that?

I would hope so to be honest, some key players coming off contract at the end of the season.

Happy to get him on a permanent deal, as I feel he will only get better and better.
Interesting to see that the club are starting to extend deals though, would make me think we have a permanent manager which hasn't been announced yet?

"A-League newcomers Auckland are also keen to tempt the ball-playing centre-back away from the Jets, along with Adelaide United and two of the three Melbourne-based clubs." -

People keep banging on about Leckie and Nabbout. But they have been absent for quite a while. How close are they to actually playing? We need a functioning bench as well as just 11 starters. We also face another rebuild at the end of this season. Maybe Tilio back on loan doesn't have to be just for six months?
Looking at who is out of contract next season I would probably keep
Maclaren, Nabbout, Good, Sakhi (option to buy)
Leckie is excellent but he is quite injury prone, will be 33 and takes up a marquee slot so on a reduced wage definitely re-sign.
If we can do all that then we are only really looking for 3-4 players in starting XI positions and maybe another 2 in squad players so not all that bad.
Also depends on who the coach will actually be.

0 Visa slots will make it hard to do much, so Tilio could be a great option even with the amount of wingers we have, just to have something fresh for the 2nd half of the season.
Leckie could play in midfield like he did last season.
My personal priority would be a defender, personal pick would be Fran Karacic.

So poor to not score at least 2 last night.
This whole season has been riddled with off field mistakes, whether that has been with poor recruitment or even with hiring Rado firing him after 2 games and then bringing an interim with 25 games left!
-
He is joining the Serie A side's academy, not the first team. BIG difference

Not much discussion on this game, Perth have lost their last 3 but HBF Park always a tough place to go.

I doubt he will coach again at a top level flight. NPL maybe.
He still has enough credit in Australia to land another ALM gig

I would like to think we are better than the jets but who knows tbh

Got to remember when we played them last we played about 3 competitive games, whilst they were about 80% through their season so sharpness and quality was always going to be in their favour.
Ventforet also haven't played a game since the 12th of November
