NewConvert Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 6 hours ago, bt50 said: Perhaps, i think you could take it that they mean they're not going to sign expensive marquees for marketing purposes, not that they won't spend money full stop. Return on investment could be relevant to players too ie : spending 1 mil on a no name that tears it up v spending 3 mil on a name that gives a similar output. It's obviously open to interpretation. Or alternatively they will bring visa players and move them to outside the salary cap once they are proven such as Fornaroli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I dont mind this approach. I just really want a player who can turn the game on its head, and pretty much win it for us. Bruno, Mooy, Novillo all did this under the cap (you could argue Bort and Sorenson also gained us a few points). But of course it could be a complete unknown if a VISA will make an impact or not.

Celt Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Honda a good signing on paper, but they gave lost some important players. Berisha a top A-League goal scorer and it will be hard to replace the goals and big game experience he has. Would like to see Jamie Maclaren back at Hibs, so hopefully he doesn't go there. Diego Castro type player coming off the left would be good foil for Fornaroli and MOH, MOH wont give you that type of creativity on the right. McGree looks to be a good signing, few more definitely needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 13 minutes ago, haz said: So what is O'Halloran good at? Just running? As a striker, he's the type that plays on the shoulder looking for balls in behind, using his pace to stretch teams. As a winger, more of a head down and get to the byline or knock it by players into space. Playmaking or creativity wouldn't be commonly attributed to him. A player who would perform better for counter attacking teams rather than teams trying to break down a defensive block. I think he will suit the A-League well, A-League and SPL are similar-ish in style. Fornaroli will enjoy the legs he has on the outside as he will offer plenty of movement into space, someone with an eye for a pass would make it a dangerous front 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes coming from PEC Zwolle so maybe JVS is doing us another favour? I assume he would know Bort too.

fiji19 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Would anyone be against signing an NPL player for that spot on the roster? Imagine the story of a player being signed by us a CFG club, doing well and then getting signed by Man City itself, sort of like a Jamie Vardy type story. Off the top of my head I cant really think of any youngsters of mid age players doing that well here in Victoria. Guys like Davey Vant Schip and Sean Ellis probably dont fit the mould as they are a bit older but they have been playing quite well for a few seasons, and if they dont take a visa spot could be good back up sort of players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example Milos Lujic from South Melbourne, imo good enough for the A-League. But he is getting paid (estimated) $20k-$30k at SM, and being a primary school teacher he should be getting around $60k. Hence why would he bother sitting on the bench for a HAL club, most likely getting paid less then what he does now playing full games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are good enough they will find their way onto a roster. The few that we have seen make the transition I can't say have been any good (jai Ingham, parkhouse, matt sim) I've seen a couple of Npl players on twitter whinge that npl players don't get a go.

Inchcolm Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hibernian are "very close" to re-signing striker Jamie Maclaren, head coach Neil Lennon has revealed. The Australian, 25, scored eight goals in 15 matches on loan at Easter Road in the second half of last season. He has two years remaining on his contract with German parent club Darmstadt. "Jamie, very close. Close enough," Hibs boss Lennon told BBC Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
