heart_fan10 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 o rly? hes shocking,his awareness of whats around him is terrible, defensively hes hit and miss and going forwards we might aswell have bolton pinging em around, if only he had half the attributes aziz has yep, that's exactly who we need to play defensive midfield. Someone who's 4 foot 2, will get out-muscled, will get beaten every time in the air, and will lose most 50-50 challenges, Shroj has done exactly what his role requires him to do, and plays an important part in the team. Obviously he has his flaws, he may not be the quickest player, he may not have the best passing range or the best shot on him, but if he was all those things he simply wouldn't be playing in the a-league. we must have shroj in the team if we want to be successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Dugandzic's price needs to be set at at least $3mil. Behich at least $1m. Marrone, because he has EU citizenship (I believe so anyway), probably should look for 1 mil as well. Otherwise 500-750k isnt bad. Dunno how long those guys have left on contract, if its only 1 more year than adjust down accordingly. And Thwaite would be a fantastic signing, the club should chase him hard.

biancorosso7 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Jake Barker Daish proved again tonight why we should sign him. GET THIS KID NOW BEFORE THE VISITARDS GET THEIR HANDS ON HIM Definitely support this. Pace is what we are looking for in our signings, as seen by Behich and Duganzdic previously.

This is the problem with A-League clubs, they dont realise the value of their players. If these guys were playing in some small league in Europe, they would get those prices. A player good enough for a team like Cagliari is surely worth at least $500k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yelawolf Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) yeah but thats the thing, most of Europe, infact the whole of Europe probably don't see the value of throwing a couple mil for a player from the other side of the world when they can get a player from Europe... they will take advantage of us, especially considering we will probably need to sell a player or two to help keep our loss at a minimum im not saying theyre not worth it, im just looking at it realistically Edited March 19, 2012 by yelawolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point in selling our first team players before we've had a chance to win anything? If we do that then we'll always be a mid-table team and never achieve anything.

Libero Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 anyone got any links to behich leaving? selling duganzic, marrone, and behich all in the same off season would become a very big problem for the club. goodwin can cover for one fullback, and thats if he doesnt leave. duganzic would also be hard to cover for, because if terra and worm are leaving, we would be short on wingers. me might get a better price if we hold out on him for even just one more season. just out of curiosity, does anyone know when Smeltz's and Van Den Brink's contacts expire. Also, my fucktory friend said Kruse might be returning to fucktory. good luck to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if the player goes onto bigger and better things and they are able to command a million plus transfer fee, the club will get their percentage, which will probably be similar or even more than the original sale price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) why are people assuming we're selling half the squad in the off season Fantastic point. I think most of this assumption has risen from supporters own high opinions of their favourite players being European Material more than anything else. In the case of Duga for example I find it high unlikely that a Croat Club would not wait out another season a pick up a still very young player for free than pay a transfer fee.

heart_fan10 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) MELBOURNE Heart flirted with the idea of making a play for Victory outcast Jean Carlos Solorzano, but the Costa Rican striker will return home in a bid to reignite his career. Heart recently renewed its interest after being outbid for Solorzano, 24, on the eve of the season. But when talks stalled, he decided to return to Costa Rica after a nightmare season. With Solorzano off the market, Heart is among several clubs - including Victory and Sydney FC - interested in young Gold Coast attacker Ben Halloran, although no formal approach has been made. With doubt surrounding Gold Coast's future, Halloran is one of at least six talented youngsters being courted by rival clubs. Solorzano was poached from champion Brisbane Roar after scoring 12 goals last season. But he has yet to open his account at Victory, having started four games and averaging 35 minutes a game in 14 appearances. He will return to his original club LD Alajuelense, which still owns his services. "We spoke to him about signing for next season. It didn't get anywhere, so we've put a line through it and moved on," Heart football manager John Didulica said. "We wrote to Victory about it and there were early discussions around salary, but it was complicated by the fact he's still contracted to his club in Costa Rica so we would have had to pay a fee above his salary." Heart would lock in fifth spot with a win away to Adelaide United tomorrow night, although its next opponent would not be known until after Sunday's Wellington Phoenix-Central Coast clash. A draw or a loss would leave Heart's destiny in the hands of Sydney FC and Newcastle Jets, who also play on Sunday. http://www.heraldsun...x-1226306562797 Edited March 21, 2012 by heart_fan10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 When I see him play, Halloran sometimes looks like cardiobenj. Thats a good enough reason to not sign him. Tried to find a photo to illustrate my point, but couldnt find any he looks like cardiobenj in. But did find this. Strong meme potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellum Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 No to Halloran, his decision making is very poor, his runs are generally in the wrong areas. He is fast. I would rather us spend the money on keeping Goodwin and Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perthheart Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Lowe could possibly be keen. I know he left Glory because he was sick of seeing his talented young players not get a chance in the Glory set up. Surely a club with heart's philosophy would appeal. May get shot down for this. But Llujbo Millicevic has been released by Hajduk. Anyone see it happening? We do need a strong experienced centre back and despite his slightly fragile mental state in regards to Australia I would love to see him in a Heart kit.
