Le Hack Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Yeah FBK is an agent now. Just got off the phone from Ryan to renew our membership. Pretty much confirmed Sakhi as said one visa coming from France apparently PK recommended him.

Arslan is the third visa, and assuming Sakhi is coming then would you use a visa slot on another defender?

I don't see us bringing in another forward tbh. Souprayen will likely only play as a left back or a left sided centre back and I personally don't think Nuno is a starter anymore. If you look at the profile of player we have brought in no one can be said to be a direct Lam replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Have a feeling this guy is going to be good. There's going to be a lot of pressure on players to hold their places in our starting line-up. Overall IMO our signings so far have been better than recent seasons. However I have a question mark alongside Jamie Young - I wasn't impressed with him down at Oakleigh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a tough one cause he is good but whichever young full back we have had, the club would rather start them ahead of Galloway.

We have no visa's left so any improvement has to come from local players... By my count the Visa players are Souprayen, Reis, Arslan and Sakhi. That's only four? Even if we lose Galloway, we have Good, Reis, Souprayen, Talbot, Behich and Hall in our defence. My biggest concern is the forward line - Leckie, JMac, Nabbout, Jakolis and a very young Caputo. I hope that that the purported two local signings (plus possibly a third if Scott G. leaves) are a defender and a forward, and I can't see that we can't sign another Visa player if we have the money to do so.
