You would rather Mifsud and Macallister as our two strikers for the rest of the year? If we can get Kennedy on a 10 game Guest Stint, it'd be UNBELIEVABLE!!

Heart Inaugural Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Would love to get Josh Kennedy till the end of the season. Is he available? Can't see us spending transfer money Spoke to his missus when they were in Melbourne recently and the family are very keen to return to Victoria with JK - was obviously at the derby as a club guest so they seem to be in the process of courting him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I can't see us making another signing this season unless another player goes down with a long term injury. Its all about damage control now for this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fentonthescreamingcactus Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I don't see the point of spending money and getting knew players now when the season is over, we are better off saving up for some class players for next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardRed Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Our seasons not over .... Yet ! The second half of the season could see us push for 6th (with the right coach )- anything above 9th would be great considering ... I would definitely go for Josh K + some youth = Corey Brown & Tahj Minniecon have impressed me - would they leave ? Doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about damage control now for this season Yeah, primarily about stopping the rot. Nevertheless, a guest striker wouldn't go astray. I'd also be looking at the list and getting several non-performers off our books early, giving us more flexibility for next season. My nominations would, unsurprisingly, be Germano and Macallister.

Peter Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I don't see the point of spending money and getting knew players now when the season is over, we are better off saving up for some class players for next year If taking someone like Kennedy now with a view to signing him next season is possible then I believe we should do it. The A-League is not the first choice destination for most players and if someone of quality comes up we should pounce when able. Consider the players we have taken on when they have been rejected by all others. Apart from our three marquee positions, there are only so many "class" players we can fit under the salary cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an overhaul and a fresh start. No point trying to save a season which is half way down the shitter. Sign JVS up for 2 years and give him a pile of cash to spend next season.

Tommykins Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'd like to see Milos Lujic from Northcote given a go, he's a bit of a headcase from time to time, but he's been on our books and is a seriously good presence up front, he'd be availible for nearly peanuts too. The other Northcote player who I don't mind is James Kalifatidis (spelling might be very wrong), tricky little player and a good goalscorer. Dusan Bosnjak has matured nicely as a central attacking midfielder who can go forward and score a lot of good goals, ex-youth player. As for the defenders, Shane Rexhepi is great at either centre half or right back and at 26 still has a lot of good football in him. Adriano Chiappetta would make Patrick Kisnorbo seem like a composed, sensible central defender, but the boy can play, he'd be mid 20's too.

thedukeofhearts Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think with engerlaar coming back (assuming he's back sooner or later) I think we still have an ok squad to squeeze in to finals or be right on the edge. I would probably only get someone in if they going to be there long term or a star player on a loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 A proven goal scorer and target man, even on loan, would do wonders for the team's confidence and for the rest of our season. Some fresh faces at training and in the 1st team would give everyone a lift. Without this it will be harder for our bloody handed players to get out of their JA induced rut.

LR9 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) What's the point of wasting money on the squad for this season? Its over. Any changes in personnel should be made with 14/15 and beyond firmly in mind. JVS will play and develop the kids, there's no doubt about that. He will be just the boost his former players need, such as Mate, Aziz, Jez, Kalmar and Co. and I think he could work wonders with guys like Ramsey and Golgol. Edit: A tactical overhaul will do a lot more good than one or two Summer signings IMO.. Edited December 29, 2013 by LR9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) We need a goalkeeper. Redmayne is shit. Velaphi hasnt been given a chance so we can only assume he is shit based on past form. We also need a right back. I know there are a lot of Walker stans on the forum, but seriously he isn't any better than Hoffman, and we all know how shit Hoffman is. Only hope for Walker is if JVS is appointed until the end of season and uses his wizardry to turn Walker into a good player as he has done with other young players. Apart from that, we have a good team, they just have had a shit manager until now. With the new manager, and new players in these 2 positions, we can actually get something out of this season.

Attack11 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 It would be hard to sign any new player at this stage.. We can't forget that JA has left us in a bad way and I believe the MHFC Board will see what JVS can do with the current playing list.. I don't think the club at this point has any serious direction therefore would be reluctant to make any long term signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melburnian Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Agree Tesla. I also think we need and out and out striker and creativity from the midfield. With Engelaar the age he is and the injury he just had I think a dominating key defensive midfielder is vital. Definitely some holes that need to be plugged. A goalkeeper is definitely needed. I agree with you that Redmayne isn't a title winning number one. Good back up. Good guy for the club. I'm a Walker fan but he hasn't presented himself well this season. To be fair Hoffman was extremely good the past two weeks and could maintain his spot but again not the best in our aims for title wins. We got to get our marquee players right. These should be guys in key positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpy Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Not sure what impact JA's departure will have on this, but I hear that we'll be bringing a young Aussie back from abroad.
