But I really think we need a player at the next level that can break the game apart. I would have been disappointed if he was our marquee AMF signing. I assume one is going to be announced because if not then losing Caceres just doesn't make sense. But you are right he is a good attacking player.

jw1739 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 This was tipped a couple of weeks ago. Overall, it's bit of a surprise to me, because I had thought that we would see Tommy Sorensen in this role. Other than this, as far as player signings are concerned, this must be our dullest off-season so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well something is obviously not going to plan, I refuse to accept we leave it this late season after season to get the squad together. You would like to believe a good Nr 10 will change the dynamics up front. I'm really concerned about the progress of Kamau.

Jovan Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 The longer it is before an announcement the more nervous I get. The possibility of no Marquee is increasing also. But as @Niko said a gun #10 and we are definitely in the mix. I have faith we will see an announcement soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see another forward/winger, we struggle at times to score enough with the combination of Kamau, Fitzy, Cahill and Bruno. Good on paper but it didn't work as we all know. One player for each line, another right full back, attacking midfielder and a left winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) When teams realise they can't get us on the counter like last season then there will be more open plays and that's when Bruno and Tim will cut them to pieces. And a Marquee CAM is a game over scenario. We will win everything Edited August 5, 2017 by playmaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sure but we had an extremely good squad last season (the vast majority thought this too) so I dont know how any of you could be surprised that this off season that we didnt need to sign many more players, nor will? So of course its going to be slower than last season, and JW wasn't it you bemoaning the amount of turnover we have always had anyway? Oh and of course WSW and CCM are going to seem to have better off seasons in a signing sense because they both had shit seasons last year. IMO the biggest thing we had this off season was the new manager and that is done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the biggest thing we had this off season was the new manager and that is done. I'm not particularly concerned what other clubs are doing or have done, except MV because we're in direct competition with them in terms of public interest in this city. I just feel that with three more signings to be announced to make the minimum number of 20 players, with two visa places and a marquee place unused so far, and the blatant snub from Troisi, we have the appearance of being somewhat on the back foot. As for turnover, this is the situation so far: Outs from 2016/17: Sorensen, Franjic, Rose, Retre, Caceres, Colazo, Kuzmanovski, Gameiro.Ins for 2017/18: Galekovic, Jamieson, La Rocca, Mauk. Everyone can judge the current situation for themselves, and people are going to differ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellenic Hero Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Saw something on Twitter linking us to Gonzalo Cabera, an Argentinian CAM playing in Malaysia. Seems like a decent player, scored 10 in 19 games this year whilst playing as an AM (as well as 5 assists), seems pacy and strong with a good shot on him. http://www.futhead.com/17/players/18882/gonzalo-cabrera/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd be happy with a decent Spanish CAM around the 30 year old mark with the same pedigree as a Diego Castro or either of WSW's new signings. Doesn't have to be a household name, we just need a technician who can draw defenders away from Bruno and then hit the killer through balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
