dRoy Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Someone has edited the MHFC wiki page. Says we've signed Gerhardt (7), Gray (24) & GolGol (11 or 19). I know I've been away. But I only remember Gerhardt being announced so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart_fan10 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 IIRC Robbie kruse was a bit of a 'loose cannon' while at Brisbane, then a change of environment and support system at victory and it really gave his career a kick start. Don't see why it couldn't happen to Bulut at heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Steven Gray's status depends on what type of visa he has. If anyone has a contact at Oakleigh they could find out that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marteaux Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) After earlier shooting down having Bulut at the club - I think the positives of such a deal for both club and player outweigh the negatives. That said - I don't want him singed for our number '9' role. IIRC - Bulut can play LW. This is ideal really - sign him and and get another Sibon/Babalj esque CF, throw in Flores and we've got a 2/3 that looks like this: Fred - Flores Dugandzic - '9' - Bulut. That my friends, will score goals. And goals win you championships. Edited June 26, 2012 by marteaux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart_fan10 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 from a Perth glory supporter: Looks like Kezman's career isn't over yet. Contract has been put forward to play for Heart next season, all they're waiting for is for him to fly in and make the signature. looks like this kezman rumour is starting to build a bit. Now that I think about it, it would make sense for us to sign him. Seems like a 'safe' signing in that not many people can complain if he flops because the club is going for an ex Chelsea/PSV striker. I also don't think he would be on much because if he's retiring at 33 it doesn't look like many clubs are after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Kezman could work out well. He has top class experience and a good track record although he has slowed down recently which is the only reason he would be attracted to our league. Kevin Kyle is another experienced striker who needs a club and could be good for us if he is free from injury. He sounds a little desperate to find a club although I don't know if he would come over here or if we would want him. I rate him when he is fit though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18564679 Anyway, signing either of these blokes would bring out the best in the Hoff and give us yet another class striker, one already on our books (relax Cadete).

Also heard they've been trying to bring over Bulut aswell, which has been part of the reason why the club is taking so long to announce anything, as half the baord are against it. If everything goes well hearst could be challenging for the title this year with a squad like that." Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sash Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Also heard they've been trying to bring over Bulut aswell, which has been part of the reason why the club is taking so long to announce anything, as half the baord are against it. Although this is an online rumour and may have no basis in fact, if true, the board should get out of the way and let the football department make player decisions. That's what they employ Didulica for. Sign Bulut, sign Kezman*, and finally give us the strike power we've been lacking. Bulut fucked up. But he's young and deserves the chance to get his life in order. The club's culture should be strong enough to accept him and give him the environment to do that. Edit: Actually, sign Kezman if he's keen to play and put in to the club. If he just wants a holiday and a paycheck, don't bother. But if he's serious about playing and working with our younger players, his experience and goal scoring ability would be great.

The boy made a mistake - a serious one - but he's still young and we should not hold it against him for the rest of his life. A football club is not a philanthropic institution, but if he wants to play for us and fits what we want in terms of football style and the rest of the squad, then IMO we should give him the chance. Sometimes people are irresponsible because they've never been given responsibility. With the right determination on all sides perhaps we can all benefit.

cadete Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Hope this is true. I'm still doubtful though, because JD has already denied the Bulut rumour. And the WCE denied Ben Cousins used drugs up until 2009 and I and the rest of Perth knew did back in 1997. Rofl - Ergic that takes me back to those Perth days as well, horrible acne on both his and to lesser extent my own face. Malloy wont be happy with the man's political views.

Tesla Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 This Kezman & Ergic rumour sounds like some Serbian fan's dream that they then went and posted online. Not that Kezman is unrealistic at all, given how his career has gone, but its a risky signing as who knows how he will go. Ergic would be a good signing, but could be expensive and not sure if he would want to come play for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergic would be a good signing, but could be expensive and not sure if he would want to come play for us. I remember when he was at Glory Ergic was always very distant to the public and made it fairly clear he could not want to leave the country and that he was Serbian and not Australian so I feel doubtful it about him coming as well.

heart_fan10 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 if he is 6 foot 3 then it makes me feel a bit better about the signing. But still think that visa spot could be used more effectively I still don't understand how he will be used. It will be very disappointing to see one of Good/Hamill completely out of the matchday squad. On another point, with our new foreign striker getting the number 9, who will get number 10?

Footballism Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Is it just me or has MHFC fans' general view (particularly on this forum) of doom and gloom and were going to finish last changed to hyper-optimism and were going to win the league with the signing of one bloke (Gerhardt) no one had ever heard of? And what's with all the Gray hate? We need another experienced CB (especially if Good leaves) and I would rather save 50k for another player and 'waste' a visa spot rather than spend more on an Aussie to do the same thing. He has been playing in a better league this year than Gerhardt was last year too and we are already hailing that as a wonder signing. I will reserve judgement on them both until I have seen them play but I have faith in JA and JD. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will reserve judgement on them both until I have seen them play but I have faith in JA and JD. Don't think anyone hates anyone. The puzzle with Steven Gray is about using a visa place in the squad with a player that, on the face of it, doesn't jump out of the page as an automatic first-team selection. It's not about Gray himself, rather about the limited number of visa places. On a numbers basis I would have thought that your fourth-choice centre-back would not be a visa player from the VPL. However, JD appears to be very impressed with Gray, and from the language used it looks as though it's a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
