jw1739 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Regardless of whether he's good or not, WS recycle another team's player and everyone thinks the world is ending Relax kents Agreed. Â Every player looks good and a 'must have' when you read their Wikipedia entry. The reality is often different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I get the feeling a number of people are concerned that we have the smallest squad assembled in the league, we don't have a spine to our team (lacking centre backs, midfielders, strikers), and we are not being linked with any players whilst other clubs are. But as has been said, we don't know what is going on behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Another bit of info about the players we are looking for, with an article today mentioning that: Â Â [Aloisi] Â is currently in Europe where according to CEO Scott Munn he has been in discussions with up to seven players over filling three visa slots as the club chases a striker, defensive midfielder and centre-back. (source) Â That we are pursuing a Europe based CB is new, and very welcome, IMO. Â Â So, from all we know, Aloisi and Foxe have gone around Europe looking for a striker, a DM, a CB and possibly an AM. Aloisi and Foxe have been in discussions with at least 7 players, and Aloisi and Foxe spent some time in England. Â Hopefully we hear something concrete soon.

Murfy1 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Possibly Bas van den Brink? Â What's the story with Bas van den Brink again? He left Perth to go play in India, and the deal fell through at the last moment? Â He would be a pretty sturdy European CB that we could sign on a free transfer. I'm a bit hopeful though that we can get a slightly better CB from Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart_fan10 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 why would we be looking for another DM? we already have Gerhardt and murdocca? we really lack a quality AM in my opinion, unless aloisi has an aussie up his sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Â Possibly Bas van den Brink? Solid player but still reckon we could do better. Â The thing about van den Brink is that he is a proven performer in the A-League. Â Not all overseas players who come here, despite good credentials, can perform once they are here. As we saw with Meeuwis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Always rated van den Brink amongst the best CB's in the league, particularly remember a game early last season against the Visitors when he single handedly kept the scoreline respectable while the rest of his teammates watched Rojas walk past them continually. Â He's a proven performer who knows the league, very surprised he hasn't been snapped up by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluka Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 If it is to be wrapped up in three weeks then that is fantastic news, far earlier than we had it done last season IIRC. Does this also mean that negotiations will be coming to an end with Garcia? If he doesn't sign, then it sounds as if we have someone to sign instead. Intriguing times ahead.

Â Sends a huge statement, I think, that we want to get the season underway as soon as possible and get the team in the best possible shape sooner rather than later. Â Also says to Garcia, here's the offer, take it or leave it, and at the same time, sends the message to all the other squad members that no-one is bigger than the team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
