kingofhearts Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Rumours are swirling that we're going to sign this bloke, thought he deseved his own thread. Would be a massive signing if it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Surely we couldn't fit him in under the cap... but I hope we do as he was easily the best right back in the league before he left to Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 His positioning isn't good enough to play at a high level imo, but a good a-league player You can teach positioning.

Much easier to improve than football skills or athleticism. I think it is the other way around. Good positioning comes about from reading the game, which is not something that is easy to teach. Athleticism is obviously capped by each person, but can be improved through training, same with football skills, that just comes down to repetition. Positioning can be improved with experience, but its really down to what is between the ears. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samardzija Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Would still be the best right back in the a league, and a Melbourne boy which is good, I'm sick of having fuck all melbournians in the squad. I still remember a few years ago we were rumored to go after him and the general consensus on the forum was he's not better than maronne, interesting to see how there careers panned out and the forum reaction now...

Franjic is 27 and pretty experienced, so he should be a knowledgeable player now (BTW I haven't seen enough of him to know that his positioning really is poor).

Tesla Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Do people seriously think we're signing Franjic? No chance. You'd need an Australian marquee spot to get this guy.

Would be getting him on loan for only half a season...I'm sure they can strike some kind of deal, i.e. we'll give you $150k, a nice shiny new Nissan, "rent assistance" and Massimo's wife will cook you dinner every night to save you money on food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like many have said before, in the a-league, you take quality when it is available At LB we now have Clisby. At CB we have Paddy, Chappy and Robbie. At RB we have a Winger and whatever Hoffman is... so I think a RB is exactly what we need ATM. Edited January 19, 2015 by cadete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
