Murfy1 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 It's a shitty article by an American for an American website. 'Should Garcia exit the Heart this offseason, free agent Zenon Caravella could be an option' It's hardly a link and I'm pretty sure Zenon isn't a free agent and that he signed for 2013/14 when he signed mid season with the jets. Moving on..... It's even worse than that. The writer of that article tweeted 'who would be good for Heart', and someone tweeted in response 'Caravella is free', and then he wrote that sentence... The article stating 'meanwhile, rumors of bigger European names persist', with a link to Ambrosini is interesting. However, despite me hoping it's true, I'm not 100% about the credibility of this source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTinator Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) From the 442 article: 442: What can you tell us about your plans for 2011/12 and give us a glimpse of your club aspirations for the future. Will Australia get a look in at some point? Billy: At this point I believe remaining at Pierikos for another season will help me greatly for the future, my goal is to play outstanding football with statistics (goals assists and games). Another positive season will definitely lead to the Greece Super League or even a move to Bundesliga.2 (Germany) as I have already had discussions with some German based clubs. I’ve placed a huge amount of hard work to be in Europe for 5 1/2 years, but I would consider a serious offer from Australia, after all there’s no place like home. Well the that turn out too well Billy! His market value is stated as 150,000 euro which seems a hit steep LOL.

Here's a good article on him: http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Aussies-Abroad-Maclaren-knocking-on-the-door/47057 He sounds like a quality forward. He's spent a good few years in Blackburn Rovers youth academy, and was even "the top-scorer for Blackburn's academy" around 2012. And going off the Blackburn u21 videos on youtube, and that classy goal he scored against Turkey at the u20 World Cup a few days ago, he looks like a skillful player with an eye for goal. Icing on the cake, he's a Melbourne boy as well. He told the author of the above article, which is dated last year, that he is "keen to experience some first team football and is eyeing off a potential loan move next season", so hopefully he is open to joining an A-League side like Heart. We have a reason for optimism too, and that is Maclaren knows Vince Grella, and gets on with him "very well". I'd be very pleased with Heart's recruitment once more if we secured Maclaren. Things have gotten a bit slow recently, but really I don't care if recruitment is slow as long as we sign quality players.

Murfy1 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) MacLaren to Perth. God dammit. Corey Gameiro to Sydney, Jamie Maclaren to Perth and Brent Mcgrath is rumoured to be heading to Western Sydney... IMO we need a good and young Australian striker. We shouldn't have only Macallister as our backup striker. We should have Macallister and a good young Australian striker (no point using a VISA spot on a non-starter), as our new striker won't be able to play 90 minutes of every game, and if that new striker became injured I'd be very weary if we only had Macallister as cover. Maybe Heart intend to play Kewell as a striker. Or maybe the club is so confident that our new striker will score goals that they don't believe that we need any more cover. Or maybe they are just really taking their time to secure another decent striker. I don't know. We released the most players, so we have to sign the most players. This recruitment lag is getting rather frustrating. Edited July 1, 2013 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 instead of macallister, we should have a promising young Australian striker as a backup to our visa striker. Definitely. Ideally, that's the arrangement Heart should have. If Macallister followed up on his impressive pre-season form, then I wouldn't mind. But he scored 1 goal in 20 games last season. And over his last 35 games (+1500 minutes) he scored 4 goals. One could argue that he (and our other forwards) got terrible service last season. He only had 14 attempts on goal (6 on target). But I don't think that fully explains his scoring record. Heart should consider letting him go, as he's taking up a valuable position that could be filled by a Gameiro/Maclaren/Mcgrath (i.e. promising young Australian striker). If he has another good preseason and carries that form over to next season, scoring a goal every game or two, then I won't care. But I don't see that happening.
