Missing_Moy Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 It’s like choosing between your left and right arm Bart or Richie ? I think I’m taking RDL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Tough call. Given our current personnel id probably go Da Laet. He's so versatile and a fantastic leader. But if MacLaren comes in we have no need for Da Laet to play up front. So that puts him back at right back. So for me out of Da Laet in right back and Bort in centre back, I'd go with Bort.

mus-28 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Personally I'd be sacrificing de Laet to keep Bart as marquee. Then try and convince Matty Millar to return as our right back at the end of the season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malloy Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 How anyone could pick De Laet over Bart beggars belief. The bloke literally stops us conceding 3 goals a game. Marquee is wasted on a fullback. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Bart Bart is objectively speaking one of our most talented players on our list. If marquee money is the difference between him staying and going, please throw every penny we have at him - irrelevant to the fact he’s a central defender. It could be possible that some people are undervaluing how many scoring situations he prevents. He can beat any striker in the league one on one with his pace and strength.

mus-28 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'd take a proven performer and arguably the best centre back in the league over another potential Koren, Colazo or Budzinski. Better the devil you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Bart Where is the ban button? No but in all seriousness... what a player. Deserving of marquee. Loves the club,wants to see us succeed and gives his all on the pitch week in week out. Irrespective of position, these are the people we want for our club and we should do all we can to retain him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I probably say this every year, but I think next season we will probably see the cap removed or heavily modified. So I dare say we will be able to have all three if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I dare say we will be able to have all three if it happens. No chance. The cap will probably remain as is, until the next 2 and maybe the 2 after that expansion clubs get to a level that they can genuinely challenge. For us it's a no brainer but for many in the League and those incoming the salary cap is a huge safety net. We just have to get our shit together with the cap. Maybe recruiting and keeping 5 visas on the pitch for 30 weeks would be a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Also there are plenty of other issues that the "new FFA" has on its plate. The cap is possibly the easiest to leave in place. IMO they'll fix Wellington and expansion, the duration of the season to accommodate more matches, number of visa players, etc. before they look at the cap. Possibly it will be raised significantly, but not discarded completely for a while yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
