heart_fan10 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 anyone else think the thing about contracts being put on hold until seasons end has to do with JVS' job on the line? Could be that CFG have instructed the club to put off signing anyone so that when a new coach comes in he has something to work with in regards to salary cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 There's always Miguel Palanca, who played a few games for Barcelona. Hasn't yet been signed for next season by Adelaide United. His touch and finish for a goal last round was way out of our class with the likes of the butchering we usually see from Williams and company.

Smart teams are realising that recruiting players of a decent age will generally bring the results. Hopefully our side goes down this path over the off-season.

I know it doesn't belong in this thread but the league needs at least 1-2 new clubs to spice up the interest again, a 10-team league without starpower isn't the most attractive proposition for the mutual fan.

Dylan Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Throw the house at Vukovic and MacLaren. No way Victory would be able to get them under the cap, given that they will probably have to release some players to fit Kalfalah under. Then, get rid of the players left over from the heart days like hoff, ramsay, duga and Redmayne and I don't think any of the visa players (bar Novillo) will survive.

Shahanga Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Next season, for the first time ever, we have to get the visa players right. A marquee who is one of the best (if not the best) players in the league & at least 3 players who would be walk up starters at any club. The 5th spot could go to a development position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hold hope that the CFG after the take over said to all the staff and players, we are going to give you a season to prove you are up to it, and if not changes will be made. I think either SIlva10 of Falastur said a similar thing happened at Man City when they bought them., Edited April 27, 2015 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Would be worth chasing Lachlan Jackson from Brisbane if he isn't tied down to a full time contract. Has looked very good in his 3 games that he's played and would give us another Centre Back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yes Tomykins meant he was 26 when he first came here (because that suited his argument ). The next poster just got confused. We all want great players in their mid 20s who are willing to come to Australia and play under a salary cap. They do exist, but they are nestled in a hell of a lot of frogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Aye, thought I'd made that clear, my bad. Obviously its difficult to pick whose going to make a good marquee, but I'd suggest getting someone younger and still hungry is always going to be more effective than someone older with a bigger reputation.

tommac Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Franjic would be great! But if not him we should go for Georgievski. He is a quality player- I don't care if he played for Victory or no. He's a good player in an area we need to improve, not super expensive, non- visa, good age. The rest doesn't matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franjic over him, and if that's not possible i'd look at signing Risdon who apparently wants to leave Perth. Big no to wilkshere as well who has attitude issues which is the main reason he was pushed out of the socceroos squad, and we really don't need someone like that at the club when we clearly need to start changing the culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Ben Garuccio is better as a left winger Surely no one that we have currently signed. Jack Clisby is OK. We need players in nearly all positions if we are to be competitive. In many cases as first choice, and in others as a good reserve. I don't think supporters are being too demanding. Not at all. No point in being a season-ticket holder and having "priority access" for finals tickets if we never get a home final. Top four finish please, and no more matches where "we didn't turn up."
