Don't mind it, best LB we've had since Behich and probably on fuck all salary which is good since LB is the least important outfield position. I'm guessing 1 year deal so just dump him next season and sign someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 If we are playing 352 then this is disaster. Fullbacks most important position in that formation. But if we stay with 433 agree @Tesla regarding fullbacks importance. And with a cap you can't have big players in all positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of things we are playing with no formation and every player can just run around wherever they like. JVS would be a great u10s coach. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect Clisby is on more than Rose, we took him away from another A-League club where he was playing and at the time he looked a decent prospect. Rose is 34 years old and just happy to get another season of pro football on any salary. Wouldn't be shocked if Clisby makes double what Rose will.

mus-28 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 He spent more than a bit of time at centre back last season with the emergence of Michael Neill at left back and struggled to get up and down the left when he did play there. Disappointing, thought we should've used a foreign spot on a quality LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakz7 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 So teams will continue their simple tactic of just attacking our weak(er) full-back to get in behind. It's been happening for like 4 seasons. And Franjic and Zullo didn't play simultaneously too often... Not that either were solid defenders.

belaguttman Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I think that some of you guys are expecting us to field a Bayern Munich beating team with a $2.5m salary cap. We aren't going to be strong in every position, of course structure and organisation can compensate somewhat for this in a team with a good coach. As you know this is the real problem 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I expressed my opinion on Zullo. I think we should of kept him, and I think JVS bungled things with him so he left for Sydney. It is a bit hard to judge a player who's in such a messy and poor quality team such as the present day Central Coast Mariners. Caceres looked rather ordinary with them a year ago as well. And Joshua Rose does have top drawer A-League pedigree. Just 2 years ago (in the 2013-2014 season) Josh Rose was a big part of the CCM team that finished 3rd and made the ACL playoffs, and the season before that (2012-2013) Rose was a main player in the Graham Arnold CCM team that won the grand final, and the two seasons before that Rose was both times the A-League Team of the Season LB as CCM finished 1st in 2011-12 and 2nd in 2010-11. So I'd say if Josh Rose is deemed 100% fit in his medical, he's a pretty solid A-League LB, especially when other limited Australian options are considered. Another encouraging note about Rose's signing is that it most likely means that the 2 remaining Visa spots will be used on one central defender, and probably one midfielder or attacker. And the remaining marquee spot will be used on one of those 2 positions as well. All up I'd say that would be the best use of our remaining Visa spots and marquee spot, and the team will have been very well strengthened going into the new season.

bt50 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Probably an improvement on what we've got for what will likely be minimum wage-ish. Sounds like a win to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knutty Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Once he's in a better enviroment and with a team that can actually challenge for trophies then he might be at his best again if not better then his ever been since it's a new challenge. Hmm this could be us trying to save cap space for one of the other amazing visa players I hope we get lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I like the way (almost) everyone seems to be assuming we will fill those two remaining visa places and the second marquee place. You're all more confident than I am. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes it more entertaining when everyone realises the rest of our signings are minimum wage players like Josh Rose because we spent all our money on Tim Cahill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 he was the best left back in the league a few years ago when Central Coast were actually good, but idk now. Zullo is obviously pacier, more skillful and offers more going forward but Rose is probably a better defender, so it's probably gonna be JVS' tactics (or lack of) that'll determine whether this is a good signing or not.

Red or Dead Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Gonna be a better left back than Clisby, even at 34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart_fan10 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 He would barely be taking up any cap space. I think this signing is more about having 2 options for every position at the back and trying to balance it all out between experience/youth LB: Rose, Clisby CB: Malik, Tongyik CB: Chapman, Visa? RB: Franjic, Muscat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
