raw10 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 no way is Redmayne going to be first choice for us It's imperative to offload him Well yeah, but from his point of view why would he walk out the door with nothing. He has a contract. The next problem is who on earth would take him off our hands? This is where CFG should start flexing their muscle and use their contacts to convince him to move elsewhere perhaps Mexico or something as far away as possible from Melbourne City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine him and kisnorbo at the back, no one is getting off easily. Actually it was the ref that single handedly won the ACL for WSW. Covic would have been seen in a different light had any other ref been in control of the game. And his performances have taken a nose dive since he wasn't chosen for the NT.

soxrow Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 He still made some extremely important saves which not many keepers in this league would have managed. I get the age component but who would you suggest we realistically get? Goalkeeping coach extremely important, have to get that right too.

Popular Post Tesla Posted May 28, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 We need a new goalkeeper coach more importantlyHow many siblings do you think JD has? He already ran out and had to settle for a mate in Clint Bolton last time. What next, actually conducting an impartial and thorough search for a new GK coach? He ain't got time for that, we need a new striker and he has youtube videos to watch, it's down to a bloke who plays in a Sunday league in Argentina and another bloke who scored 13 goals in the Armenian Premier League last season. Both have really good compilation videos with the latest in house music playing in the background. And you never know when some backpacker may appear at Latrobe looking for a trial so his visa can be extended. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 As it stands at the moment, with no confirmed news on Velaphi, we have two GK vacancies to fill. Will be interesting. I'm tipping an overseas player as our new no. 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think they'll say to velaphi, you can sign as the #2 on wage X, if you don't like it, we'll sign a young keeper instead. Which wouldn't be a bad thing as I trust CFG, to obtain a quality #1 for the right price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Velaphi is good enough and cheap, signing a different number 1 keeper is a waste of cap space.

Totally disagree. 2 most important positions in a team is the keeper and striker. Get them right and most the hard work is done. (last years championship winning side was the exception and not the rule imo). It could work, but this could also backfire as you are essentially losing a visa playing that is directly involve with the play. Personally I'd rather sign a gun centre back visa player. That way I'd have the visa player, kosnorbo and chapman fighting for their positions. If things stay as they are I'm still of the opinion that we will have some holes in our defence with a Kisnorbo/Chapman combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeeper is the least important position TBH, and the fact that they have the lowest transfer fees of any position is evidence that I'm not the only one who thinks that's the case.

n i k o Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Thing is if there was some sort of issue with Tando then there may be reason to look elsewhere. But there isn't and he was one of the top keepers in the league. I don't understand why there's need to take a visa spot and probably a very expensive chunk out of the cap for a position that we don't need.

The importance of a goal keeper depends on how good the team is. In a terrible team its very important in a great team its not that important. If you're good, you deny your opponents scoring opportunities. Less opportunities= less goals. Also you then score a number of goals to nullify any goals that do go through.

Jimmy Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Velaphi is good enough and cheap, signing a different number 1 keeper is a waste of cap space. Is exactly what I was saying today. Pretty silly to waste a VISA spot and a good chunk of the cap on a Goalkeeper when we already have an imaginably cheap Australian who was one of the best keepers in the league last season. Take that money and VISA spot and buy a CB that will force Kisnorbo and Chapman to compete for the other CB spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info@VW Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 If you look back at any title winning team, the goal keeper 9/10 times is well above average and expirenced. We need this new keeper and have been missing one since Boltons second year, when his legs started giving way. Sorry but Tando can't give us a title, if he could he'd still be at any of his last two clubs. I hope he accepts being number two because he would be a great back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
