jw1739 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Kewell sets up a late consolation goal with a little back heel to McGrath who hits the woodwork with his shot. Sign him yeah!!!! Better still, cap him!!!!!!!!! Give McGrath a break for Chrissake. He's had 22 minutes on the field for Heart, and at least he came close. Our last six games against A-League opposition have yielded us a paltry 2 goals. If Aloisi had any brains he'd have given McGrath a lot longer to show what he can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) It's a shame that McGrath didn't start so that we could get a good look at him. Agree. He came closer to scoring than any other Heart player, despite the fact he only played about 22 minutes. If he played the full game, or perhaps even 70 minutes, he might have done even better. Hopefully McGrath gets more time to prove himself. The track record at Heart, though, is that practically every outfield player trialist isn't signed. However, we do sign poor backup goalkeepers on the basis of trials. I'm pretty concerned that we'll start the season having only 1 striker as we currently have: Dylan Macallister. IMO, that would be the worst case scenario. We need to bring somebody else in. Edited August 25, 2013 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theresonlyonebzamora Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 For fucks sake I hardly see how any of this is the manager's fault. If we don't sign a striker he should be sacked; if we do we get the wrong one (allegedly) and he should be sacked. Hell, McGrath could score 15 goals this season and people would still want Aloisi out. Be respectful to your club instead of bleating and crying every time something isn't exactly how you want it. Now spend three pages discussing how I'm wrong. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR9 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Can you sign an injury replacement marquee? Yes. But contracts only good for as long as the player is on LTI... Guest stint is another option. Sooooo many loopholes in the wage rules, just ask SFC... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all want the best for the club we support but idiots such a yourself think you are top class!!!! Pfffft........ GET OVER IT!!!!!! The problem is not that this happened, players can and do get injured at anytime, but we need to plan for this. JA has identified this as a crucial position in delivering his style of football for the team so if this is the case then we need to have a like for like player who can slot into his position. Grella was the initial player identified for this role, it was a gamble that would have paid great dividends if it paid off but it didn't. There was no Plan B last season. This season we need a Plan B and it isn't Paolo Retre at this stage. We can play PG there as a stop gap but his ball distribution is not at the same quality as OE.

RoyalHeart Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think the club realise that this is a huge year on/off the pitch for them, so I am tipping that if Orlando is sidelined for 5 or so months + (pretty much the season) they will mutually agree to end his contract and they will sign up another international and hopefully it will be another big name! I know everyone has been speaking of JA's 4-2-3-1 formation but I think with the loss of Engelaar he might opt for a 4-4-2 diamond like this: Redmayne Walker Gerhadt Wielart Behich Murdocca Dugandzic Ramsay/Williams International Striker/McGrath I think this is something that should be looked at because it will minimise the loss of Engelaar and means we don't have Vrankovic in defence who IMO is a weak link (but good cover). But I think we are a big chance to go all out and cancel (mutually termiante) Engelaar's contract and get a big international striker (Petric etc) If he is out for a while I can't see why he would want to sit on the sidelines in a foreign country! But f*** me I am flat about it, signed up my brother just yesterday morning who was keen as to see him and I had to break the news to him we lost our best players.....
