Harrison Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 5 minutes ago, haz said: We also have a salary cap I think there are affordable keepers out there who tick the right boxes, though we may need to give up a visa. I'm not asking for De Gea, just someone who does everything important to a decent enough standard. Composure and a natural affinity for positioning correctly being the most important things for me. Everything else can be coached (so too can positioning to an extent but I think keepers have that ability naturally to a larger extent). I also get that Dean is a modern keeper who plays as the 11th outfielder. You can't have that ability and then expect a good shot stopper on top. It comes down to what you want out of a keeper. Very good topic for discussion IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good topic for discussion IMO. @HarrisonI'm a traditionalist. Good acrobatic shot-stopper for me. For my liking Bouzanis is too often like a statue when the ball goes past him. And Galekovic and Bouzanis are more or less on the same level, and I think we're wasting a squad space on one or other of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Jovan said: And that reason was? Because Eugene's been on a downhill slide for the past 3 seasons and is well, well past his best. Fortunately for us the standard of goalkeeping in the A-League is probably at its lowest point ever with Redmayne and Jamie Young the standouts this season. Only improvements we could make is signing a foreign keeper of paying premium for a keeper like Birighitti. Only other keeper of note abroad who will be looking for a move is Federici and he'd still likely be able to earn a substantial amount in the Championship if a club is prepared to take a risk on him.

fiji19 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Would Bouzanis be on a lot of money? Id rather have 2 young and hungry goal keepers in the squad then 1 who knows more often than not he will start every week. Be interesting to see how Jerrard Tyrson goes at South Melbourne in the NPL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I don't see why everyone is bagging Bouzanis. First of all he's on a multi year contract. So he's not going anywhere He's still very young for a goal keeper. He's not perfect but if he was, he wouldn't be playing in the Aleague I know they don't work all the time, but a number of goals this season were scored directly from his distribution we have a salary cap the guy probaly isn't even on First Choice wages, if you want to get angry. Aim it at the club for signing Galekovic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayv36 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) According to he coverage last night Jordy Bujis is on the nose. I’d also imagine one of Bobo, Adrian and Ninkovic will leave for marquee wages.

Aim it at the club for signing Galekovic IMO it's an indirect aim at the club. Honestly, Galekovic is just another ageing ex-Adelaide player signed by Michael Petrillo. And even if we did think him worthy of signing, make it one season and not two. Petrillo is a dill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim it at the club for signing Galekovic This probably isn’t fair at all (& it’s just an opinion) but I think it has a lot to do with the way he holds himself. Just comes across as an arrogant wanker & from all reports that assumptions not far off the mark. Opens himself up for criticism, a lot of the time probably unjustified. His distribution can be terrific at times but then at other times he’ll try something completely unnecessary just to show ‘technique’.

Wazza has his chance, just dont stuff it up Certainly Petrillo's job ought to be on the line. It was Munn and Petrillo who went to Manchester to discuss players we required. Munn has other roles in the club but Petrillo is head of the Football Department and IMO he made some major stuff-ups this season. Anyway, seems like departures will be announced very soon. https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2018/04/30/arzani-staying-put-vanquished-city-begin-rebuild Edited April 30, 2018 by jw1739 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Not a lot of foreign based Aussies who would be looking for a move home this off season that would improve our squad. Only really Curtis Good, Federici, Birighitti and Jason Davidson are on the outer in Europe. Of our Asian based guys you never know their situation with the way clubs seem to release players on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
