If he go to Sydney time to fold the club. We've already fucked up with Bruno, we don't wanna fuck up with this guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) In all seriousness, why would any professional footballer want to stay in a club that has failed players, members and supporters like our club has these last 2 seasons. If I was Bart I would be running away as fast as I can. Edited February 21, 2019 by playmaker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent lets everyone know he is willing to move depending blah blah. City get nervous and offer him a marquee deal. Now at the start of this season I thought he should have been already in this situation, but now that we've got Maclaren that only leaves 1 available and obviously Bruno is history so Bart now makes his play. We would nuts to allow him to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Happy for Bart to be marquee and MaClaren can be highest earner under the cap. That second marquee spot should go to a proven player in Europe or South America, a player who is a class above the rest of the team in an attacking creating role. He can do the work and Jamie Mac can score the tap ins. Edited February 21, 2019 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originalmeme Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 yep, make him marquee. If him and delbo keep playing together, they can be something really special in the league. Hes the best cb in the league by a country mile. He is strong, fast, level headed and can play forward balls. Him over de laet any day 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already set at $3.2 million for every club next season except WU, so no big increase. They basically agreed to one more season of the current CBA whilst the negotiations were dragging on. Although I will say that we're able to pay quite a number of our younger players outside the cap due to some changes in this CBA extension, which means that their combined salaries total could be given to Bart inside the cap. But I think he's pretty much gone, sadly. Edited July 1, 2019 by Harrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Shame to see him go but I still maintain that we can win the league without him, especially with Windbichler. More important that we spend up on the midfield and attack. That’s where you win trophies. Regardless, thanks for everything Bart. It was nice to see a proper defender perform at a high level week in, week out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 FWIW it’s not great to lose him but he is well within his rights to want more money given how well he is performed. I also agree that you really wouldn’t want him as marquee (although I probably have said that we should on here in the past) just bad timing really. Give it another year and the cap would probably be gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 it was a beautiful thing whilst it lasted. Everything he did, he did good; he made the shitkickers of the league (like Simon) look like fools they are, he wanted to win everything, he took no shit from anyone, helped Haz and Good develop further, was great to chat to after games and at events, and was a class above the league. I only recall one genuine mistake in his time with us that cost us a goal. Other than that, he was constantly in beast mode. I really truly hope he doesnt play for another A-League club. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Going to miss his sideways passing. He may have had bucket loads of the ball, however his effective passes % was probably the lowest in the league. Would have liked to see him managed by a better manager to see how rounded he is as a player. Good player but a bit over-rated tbh. No big loss IMO but would have been nice to keep on a reasonable wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a gamble with language and cultural differences. It's not that simple with a salary cap. We made it clear that we wanted to re-sign Bart, Brattan and Good, but in each case it is necessary to set an upper limit, above which you just cannot go or the the whole balance of what you want from the squad is disturbed. And some new players will already have been signed before the negotiations with other players are concluded, and you can't go back on those just because at the last moment you want to make a bigger offer to another player. It's pretty obvious to me that we went as high as we could with Bart in the context of the squad as a whole, but he wanted more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
