jw1739 Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I've covered seasons 2014/15 (first full season as CFG club), 2015/16, and 2016/17 so far and already have the following list: 2014/15: Wielaert Novillo Koren Duff Germano Villa Miller Safuwan Jaliens 2015/16: Sorensen Hughes Novillo Fornaroli Jaliens Koren 2016/17 Sorensen Muscat Colazo Jakobsen Fornaroli Brandan Maybe someone would like to continue? It's a hell of a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think we'll always have 1-2 duds each season. With a salary cap, all overseas players can't be on $500k+ each which results in 1-2 that aren't any better than a domestic player. A completly random player pick, but Joey Champness vs Tsubaki. I'd assume both are on a similar amount, but the former is arguably a better player this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citypool Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Fornaroli is my all time favorite player. Imo he has a flair jmac doesn’t have. luna is underrated for me these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 For 2014/15 - Novillo and Jaliens are stand out. Villa too short and the team was crap, I wonder how he would go in this season's team. Duff was good until the injury. 2015/2016: Much better list with Novillo, Fornaroli, Jaliens, Sorensen doing a good job. 2016/2017: Fornaroli, Jakobsen. Sorensen fell away this season.

fensaddler Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 For 2017/18 my pick would definitely be the fat Scotsman. Never have we had a dead ball marksman of that quality... Schenkeveld was pretty good too. Budzik was a fail and the others were on their way out. 2018/19 Schenk and De Laet were the standouts and Harrison was OK. 19/20 the best were Luna and Windy. Didn't we have another South American winger that season? He had some decent games but didn't stay around too long. Susaeta was a fail for me, and Hendry was quality but got crocked almost as soon as he arrived.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a player leaves before the end of season it's easy to miss him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 My votes: Defenders: Jaliens, Schenkeveld and De Laet. Forwards: Villa, Bruno, and Luna. Young players: I really think we missed the boat with Safuwan and Harrison - IMO they would have blossomed with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong re Harrison, but from what i recall both had deals in front of them to stay here and rejected them. Safuwan was interviewed last year I think and said it was his biggest regret in his career that he didn't re-sign here and stay on. My personal view of him is that he was def worth another contract, but that he was also a bit overrated here due to scoring a couple goals and his willingness to dive in to rash challenges, which some people absolutely love as a trait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks both. Yes, I just couldn't recall the name as I was writing. Thought at the time he was better than Luna, though Luna has definitely grown into the role and become a player I really rate.

My recollection was that he was a waking red card that showed genuine passion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree with that haha. An uncut gem perhaps, but def not remotely a ready made product like @thisphantomfortressseemed to think he was Edited May 3, 2021 by bt50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
