IMO much more likely that it is the older of the two. I would think that the link to CA Temperley and therefore Brandan, and the fact that we still have two visa positions open, makes him a definite "possible" for us. Just my two penn'orth.

fensaddler Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 As I recall from last season we were still making signings well into the later rounds of the FFA Cup, certainly much later into pre-season than this.

I'd suggest quite a decent chunk of visas over the course of the league are signed in the months of Aug and Sep because once the European leagues start and they are left either without a spot or without the deal they wanted, they then look to us.

Â It was Jakobsen and Colazo I was thinking of re late signings last season, but I hadn't recalled how late even the Cahill deal came through (though we had some idea before it happened). Â I think we've got a couple of signings of the Jakobsen and Colazo scale to come, and hopefully we'll do better than 50% success with them this time.

I can't seem to find any comfort by looking at the late signings of last season. Our marquee was a failure. Don't we want to improve year by year and why mirror to past season, which left some of us with a bad taste by seasons end. We have to be wishful and can only hope for the same calibre signings as Brandan and Jakobson but I'm afraid the cap space just isn't there even with letting more players go than coming in. I predict one more mature signing under the cap and a late marquee upon closing of the transfer market. Let's hope it will be an exciting marquee.  Edited August 9, 2017 by Mr MO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
