We desperately need a gun #10. Only problem we don't have any visa spots left. So potentially Sorensen gets a tap on the shoulder to retire. Edited December 20, 2016 by Jovan I don't think anything will change and we will meander around 3rd or 4th for rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm wrong, which i dont think i am, you can only use one of those salaries ie if Gameiro earns 120k and Kuzi 80k we can only sign a player up to their wage, so 80k or 120k, not 200k. Even still, the only sort of player we are going to get on either of those wages that will be first team quality will need to be a diamond in the rough from overseas, so we'd likely need a visa spot to make it worthwhile, of which we dont have at this stage. An australian playing NPL aint going to be the gun number 10 you seek. Edited December 20, 2016 by bt50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO we dont really need centraldefensive cover, Malik and Jakobsen are our clear first choices with Tongyik a more than capable backup. Muscat, Rose and Chapman have all been known to play there as well and Kilkenny has also done the job. The instance of all three of Tongyik, Jakobsen and Malik being out at once is incredibly unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melby Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Strong source tells me the following: Retre offered by Sydney and Mariners. Think he will be a lost player when he gets consistent games under his belt and people realise the quality he has. Rumours Chapman has 5+ other clubs asking about his situation after the decision to leave him out over Tongyik just before January. Looks like a statement of intent. Think Chapman has another 2+ years signed so if the club don't want him the club will have to convince him to mutually terminate the contract, in which case I assume he will ask for a big payout. Sorenson offered by Mariners for next season but looks like it could be retirement. Fornaroli with potential lucrative Asia offer, City group won't allow him to leave without a transfer fee of $5million+. Mariners and Adelaide asking about Fitzgerald. Wanderers, Perth and Wellington asking about Kuzmanovski. Rose off at season end. Galekovic to City next season on big contract. Talks with Isias and Cirio. Both want big $. More to come in Jan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'd say that there's some basis for speculation about Chapman's future. There's nothing surprising about your comment on Josh Rose - he's contracted only to the end of this season. The rumour about Galekovic, Isaias and Cirio comes from the Adelaide Advertiser. Otherwise I doubt there's any basis for your rumours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illeatyourheart Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Why do we need a no. 10? I reckon Brandan would fit in there easy (especially going off his higlight vids before he arrived). This team/formation seems balanced to me and fits in with the structure they seem to be pushing. Bouzanis Tongyik Jakobsen Muscat Franjic Kilkenny Colazo Brattan Brandan Bruno Timmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
