Numerically yes of course it is. But IMO it's far too early to be settling the whole squad - 5 months before the season starts. Do that, and the next minute people will be whinging that so-and-so has just become available and we should have waited before filling the squad.

jw1739 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Playing in League 2 for Mansfield on loan from Charlton Athletic. 5ft 6in tall. Would occupy a visa place. More clubs than I've had Sunday dinners. Why would we be interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imtellingyou Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 A patience is needed. The only club which must go for early signings and media activities is new WU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citypool Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 If Bart leaves we should go for Luke devere who is available. Then we’d have devere, good and delbridge as centre backs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Seems strange that 4 clubs just happen to be interested in the same Mansfield player, sounds more like he has been offered around Australia than anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so impotent, we only have Berenguer and some youth players to feed balls. Jamie is a tap in king and good finisher but doesn’t create his own chances - we need quality around him and we lack that at the moment.

TheStig Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) I have heard a rumour that our new coach will be John Van 't Schip (the second coming). Of course John still has unfinished business with the club in terms of winning a premiership under his stewardship and he has coached at a high level in the Netherlands with Pec Zwolle. He also has family links with Australia. Getting John back would/will be a positive in the coaching ranks compared to the last few years. https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/exclusive-vant-schips-plans-for-2019-517607 TheStig ps I'm the one starting the rumour Get the rauw haring ready. I expect to see this totally unsubstantiated rumour in the HS tomorrow. Edited May 12, 2019 by TheStig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 That article was dated January 2019. It would not surprise me at all to find that JvS has enquired about returning. He would know what is happening in the club directly via DvS. Maybe he should replace Petrillo rather than Joyce? After all, he recommended Schenkeveld to us, our best player over the past two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we try to bend over backwards to fit him in the cap. Even if thats a 3 year 6-700k Troisi/Miersijewski deal and at the sacrifice of a little bit of depth. He's a gun and the best CB in the league. I dont however think we should use the other marquee slot on him. Even if that means letting him go. Happy to be shown otherwise, but i dont reckon there's been an A League premier or champion with a marquee CB to date, and he's a player we've had under the cap for two years with other marquees and still not made a GF with. He's bloody good, but he's already an ingredient we've got, not the magic one we dont. Edited May 13, 2019 by bt50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming your information is correct, that would purely be an exercise in salary cap management. If we moved him out of the cap, we'd just be bringing in another foreigner under the cap who's presumably on a similar wage to Florin. It does rule out a big, big marquee though.

As much as I love Bart and rate him as the best defender in the league, we don't need him to win the title. Galloway/Good/Delbridge/Jamieson in front of Bouzanis/Birighitti wins us a title IMO. But we'd need to find a pretty good midfielder to compensate. Someone who can basically control the tempo of the game and create plenty of chances. A quick, goalscoring winger would complete our team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
