marteaux Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Velaphi McClenahan - Griffiths - Dilevski - Ritter Sanchez - Miller - Bertos - Meyer Lovrek - Jesic There we go, a better starting XI than Heart last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart_fan10 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Bas van den Brink (ex-Perth) is back in Holland and is currently a free agent. He'll turn 31 just before next season. Good player, but would we want to have 3 visa spots taken up by defensive players? I think there's some good australian defenders out there with experience that we should have a look at before using visa spots on another defender.

jw1739 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Fair enough. But we're looking weak in defence and midfield. Still leaves two visa places open. We've got 4-5 months of speculation ahead of us...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 It's the midfield we need to fix. Defence was fine last year. Get a dominant dm a good am and a marquee striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandev Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) It's the midfield we need to fix. Defence was fine last year. Get a dominant dm a good am and a marquee striker. correct. we conceded less goals in comparison to sydney, wellington, newcastle, and our neighbours. i.e. 31 goals for, 40 against MHFC, deficit of 9 goals. Therefore, simple math suggests we need to fix our attacking midfielders supplying our strikers. fix the midfield, employ a stronger striker, majority of our problems can be solved. This is what I expect the new candidate for the new Heart job to do, crunch stats daily, identify each players strengths (i.e. Willo, Duga, Ramsay are fast wingers), and provide coaching staff with valuable insight in order make decisions that win games!! No great manager does it alone, JA should be demanding more support staff. Come on Heart, time to turn PRO............

It would be good to see PaddyG as our holding mid and an experienced organising CB signed to be paired with Vranks. Agreed. Bas van den Brink ticks all the boxes. If Babalj has gone we need to focus on signing a top quality striker who will net 10+ goals next season from open play, as well as a genuine left winger as Williams is far too inconsistent if we ever plan on having a genuine tilt at the title. Redders Walker - VDB - Vrankovic - Ramsey Germano - Gerhardt Dugandzic - Garcia - Gol Gol Babalj We have the core of a good team, just need to bring in a few quality players and leaders into the squad.

kingofhearts Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I would just like to clarify that our defense was most definitely NOT "fine" last season. I agree however our midfeild as well as our strikers were a lot worse last season. The only change in the back should be Vrankovic in for Colissimo. Maybe even sign another back man and push Gerdhart in the midfield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even sign another back man and push Gerdhart in the midfield? Let me clarify fine. I ment that it was probably out best preformed area considering how shite our midfield was. Paddy g to mid might be a good move as all his fouling would be higher up the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Gerhardt and Walkers performances were the highlight for our defence after Aziz and Marrone left. We can thank Paddy for keeping our goals conceded tally at a respectable level, the amount of last ditch tackles and blocks he put in was astounding, mainly saving Colosimo's arse when he continually dived into tackles around the box. Vranks looked good in patches, but he was in and out of the team when he needed to be regualarly playing alongside Paddy. He has all the attributes of a quality CB and looks comfortable with the ball at his feet and can hit a target with a pass. Hopefully JA perseveres with him next season as the kid has a big future, particulary if he can pick up a few things of Foxey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Possibly, signed for Umm-Salal in 2012 so depends largely on if he was offered a one or two year contract by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Another left field selection, Daniel McBreen hasn't sown up a new contract with Central Coast just yet, would he be a worthwhile signing? Or is a bloke his age just getting the job done because he's been part of a system built around him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I was thinking of McBreen when I read this morning that CCM hadn't renewed his contract. Cassio sounds as if he is on his way to Sydney according to TWG website adding, ”The way things are going in Adelaide is not really good.” After Galekovic's comments a few weeks ago, it sounds as if there could be a few quality players desiring a move.

He WILL get a contract at CCM if he wants it. I heard he made adeal with Arnold that if he scored 13 or so goal or something silly he got a new deal (this seemed unlikely) but he smashed that, Was in the media i think leading up to the time he scored it, anyone else hear this?

Peter Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 10 Goals and he got a new contract was the figure Arnold quoted, not sure if it was a serious arrangement though. FWIW, as you have said, Arnold said that if McBreen got 10 goals he would be offered a new contact. This was when McBreen was on around 8 goals. The 10 goal target was met some time ago and now McBreen is the one asking for a contract. Fred also said he had been told he would get a contract at the end of the season, and well... Having said all this, McBreen doesn't fit the mould of striker Heart has said it wants, young, fast and mobile. However, he scores goals.
