[LIBBA] Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Looks like a good chance of being available at seasons end. Would a be handy replacement for Fred What you reckon guys http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/brisbane-roar-decision-to-delay-contract-talks-with-mitch-nichols-may-see-him-leave-club/story-e6frfg8x-1226591930536 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LIBBA] Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Mitch would want game time and would get it with us without question. Not sure the same could be said about the scum I dont see him fitting with them as Finkler has been pretty bloody good for them this season.

Che Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Would be an excellent replacement for Fred, would be a great signing for us. Can see him going to Victory though to be with Ange etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biancorosso7 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Another midfielder to throw in the mix. Is JA coming out with a 3-6-1 next season or something? IF we are linked, that would mean we have the following: Out-of-Contract Mids Fred Kalmar Thompson Germano Meeuvis Edwards Hoffman Signed Mids Mauk Radar Mids Archibald Nichols Kaya Groenwald MARQUEE?

biancorosso7 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Amended appropriately. Thanks Cadete. In compling that list, fascinating as to what our squad might look like next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Can honestly see us re-signing all those mids except Hoffman and Edwards. Edited March 7, 2013 by Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Can honestly see us resigning all those mids except Hoffman and Edwards. I think Fred is almost def gone as he will prob demand to much cash, and wont be content to be mainly a sub for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart_fan10 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 would love mitch nichols at the club. Always been a big fan of him. Out of the midfielders coming off contract, i'd only re-sign Germano and Kalmar at this stage. Would also look at promoting Groenwald from the youth team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEARTinator Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Mitch would be a good honest worker for the team BUT I don't rate him technically. In Ange's team he and others looked good because they were working in a well drilled system like Popovic at WSW. Even Haliti looks like a gun in that team FFS.

Luke Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 He's been so hot and cold this year it's hard to say what a sea change could do for him, i'm more worried we haven't resigned Germano yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 As per the comment in the Thompson thread...what JA and JD do when these players come out of contract at the end of this season is a critical point for the club and the pathway it chooses for the future. No point in re-signing players who no longer cut it at A-League level for whatever reason - skill, reaction time, playing style, injury status etc. And no point in re-signing players to sit on the bench for $200,000 plus per season. Also no point in signing new players on an ad hoc basis and then wondering how the hell we're going to fit them into our playing style. Mitch Nichols is an attacking midfielder - 23 goals in 119 A-League appearances I think - better than a lot of so-called strikers. But no point in signing him and then having him tooling around in the NYL or sitting on the A-League bench for 80 minutes each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozza Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Can honestly see us resigning all those mids except Hoffman and Edwards. I think Fred is almost def gone as he will prob demand to much cash, and wont be content to be mainly a sub for next season. I think Fred would actually take a decent pay cut, he is very keen to stay in Aus, family love it here! And they love their local area of Ivanhoe. Issue is more likely foreign spot then cash, he would probably have to take at least a 50% cut to stay... minimum. But I think it is likely. As for Nichols, can't stand the guy, still pissed he kicked Behich in the shin off the ball in that first whopping we gave Brissy. He is talented, no doubt, but I think he is too much of an arrogant prick for Heart to really seek him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Plus Fred's always injured - we're no longer getting value for money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulhollanddrive Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Can see him being sold to Asia for a few 100k with a good season for us. Whether he's going to be a difference maker to get us to the top, probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Has been utter shite this season, and was still very hot an cold during Brisbanes 2 successful seasons. He seems to like to have a sook when he doesn't get the ball during a game and mopes around out on the pitch, don't think Brisbane fans would miss him too much after this seasons performances. At the right price he would be a good addition, but only if he puts it together on the park on a regular basis. Re-signing Germano would be much higher on my priority list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damiano Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Would love him, Would be a natural replacement for Fred and also who's the young Brisbane boy we've signed/trialling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Think twice before getting stuck with Nicholls. Real bad attitude on and off the field.A major pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombegongal Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Think twice before getting stuck with Nicholls. Real bad attitude on and off the field.A major pain in the ass. Mario has spoken!

toogood18 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Forget nicholls, we should remember we have a bloke on our books called mate dugandzic, who even though out of contract is in talks with the club over a new deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nichols, at least in my mind would end up playing out of position as he's a bit of a box to box midfielder, which is something we simply don't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dugandzic as a winger, or a creative AM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 We need constructive, creative, mobile and quick midfielders who are going to 'pass and move'. We have seen Mate in cameo midfield roles on a couple of occasions, and he's looked good. Question mark over his stamina however. Walker would be our best right winger IMO. Wasted as a full-back.

HeartFc Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thompson, Hoffman, Colossimo, Coyne and Fred. Gone. I hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
