jw1739 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 But as much potential as Babalj has shown, I don't think he's ready yet to be our no. 1 up front. Ideally, I think he should be combining his appearances in the first team with some more development in the youth league where he can work on the areas he needs to improve on. We can't do that now because we don't have anyone better to play his position. Sash, very good point and IMO this applies throughout the squad, not only to Babalj. We really need to have a back-up for each 'position', so to speak, and we select the team based on injuries and fitness, the opposition and their strenghts and weknesses, physicality etc., and how we want to play that particular game. If we had another central striker, for example, sometimes we might play both, other times one of them, all depending on circumstances. IMO we've overworked Babalj, Dugandzic and Good this season. We brought back Fred and Germano too early simply because we didn't have adequate stand-ins. On Eli Babalj - I think many people look at him and forget that he's only just turned 20 late in February. I know he has his detractors, but IMO he's really stood up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huzie Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Never know...Babalj, Dugaznic, Behich, Marrone and Good all have the talent to play overseas...might not even be at Heart come October! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchPride Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 the only player that could potentially be overseas come the start of next season is Dugandzic imo Agreed, would be beneficial for both parties, if the right fee was given, Dugandzic gets career advancement & a second chance overseas & we get a good fee for a quality player.

Tesla Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Dugandzic is far to good for this league. Could see him in Bundesliga. Too good for EPL, not good enough for Serie A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markn Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 We need a second out and out stirker. Babalj is too raw, and too skinny to do it alone. He need some meat like dukes, paul ifill (however you spell his name) or gc's rickter (dito) etc. at his best he (babalj) is ok. at his worst he is horrible! Maycon must go down as the worst import in competition history. We need to sign a new coach first. this will allow him to determine where our weaknesses are and try to recruit accordingly.

LR9 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) "Goalkeeper Clint Bolton, midfielders Kristian Sarkies, Wayne Srhoj, Kliment Taseski, and attackers Rutger Worm, Kamal Ibrahim, Maycon and Alex Terra, are all free agents in the next few months. Bolton, Heart's inaugural player of the year, will make up his mind about playing on next season when Heart's campaign is over. The club has signed Brisbane's shot-stopper Andrew Redmayne, but if Bolton wants to play on he will be offered a new deal. It is unlikely Sarkies will get the chance to rehabilitate his career in red and white. Once one of Australia's most promising youngsters, the midfielder's career has been blighted by a series of injuries, and he has not made the breakthrough in his two years at Heart. Taseski was signed from the Victorian Premier League but is another who has been dogged by injury. The 20-year-old made one appearance this season, and is expected to return to the VPL. Ibrahim was part of the club's first intake, but the Ethiopian-born 19-year-old is in a similar boat to Taseski, and has failed to get much game time in his two years at Heart. He may struggle to get a new deal. Brazilian Maycon, a stop-gap signing at the start of the season, was a largely peripheral figure. His countryman Terra has played a bigger role, scoring some memorable goals. But he has also been injury prone, and has not played often enough to warrant a new deal. Worm, the Dutch winger, was conspicuous at Heart's draw with Wellington on Saturday by being dressed in a suit and tie. He has been left out of the team on numerous occasions this season and his future may lie elsewhere: imported players have to be significantly better than locals to justify their place on the list, and Worm has not displayed that he is. The final name on the out-of-contract list is holding midfielder Srhoj. Unlike most of the others in this position he is a regular first-team player and is likely to be offered a new deal. No decisions will be made on re-signing new players until Heart decides on John van 't Schip's replacement." At least we know Thompson is contracted Edited March 14, 2012 by LR9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthheart Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Bolton, Shroj, Terra to stay. Out of that list the only one I would be upset to lose is Shroj. I can't see us signing another Australian DM who has better defensive attributes than him if we release him. There is the perfect world and the real world. Perfect world we would be able to happily say good bye to Shroj. Real world we would release him and sign an inferior product in his position as replacement. Don't see the point of taking the risk. He has provided stability in his position in the last two years. Bolton I would love to stay but respect him if he retires. Terra is the hardest to make a call on. On his day he has been the difference between a positive and negative result. However, injuries have made this less frequent than we would like. Only release him if we have someone lined up who we can be relatively confident will provide more to the squad in his place. i.e. A proven centre forward or experienced CB. Age will play a factor with forwards however a CB i'd be happy to see us sign a 32-34 year old with a solid european CV to match. Or throw some money at Madaschi to see him return. I'd like to see Taseski given more of a chance. Sarkies, Maycon, Ibrahim and Worm have proven themselves unworthy of a new contract though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, injuries have made this less frequent than we would like. Completely disagree on Terra. Has had minimal impact this season, and lives off the memory of a couple of good games in Season 1 and one bicycle kick. Should be one of the first to be released as we can do a lot better elsewhere, and, unless he goes along with Maycon and Worm we cannot sign another visa player for next season. That's the reality of the restrictions that apply in the A-League. Edited March 14, 2012 by jw1739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR9 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Victory have 6-7 players on VISA's ATM, if Solorzano is on the way out we should snap him up ASAP! He had OP earlier in the season, but has been one of their best in recent weeks. He is a strong forward with a knack for goal, and he already has 2 years of exp. in the HAL. I know he is one of Jim's favorites, but 6 does not equal 3... Edited March 15, 2012 by LR9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be completely surprised if this happened – He would like the steady pay for one. As for MH is concerned I would prefer a more versatile player taking up a International spot. Ones like Fred and Germano. Terra can only play as an AW, the experiment of him at CF failed and he does not have the tank or attitude for a 4-4-2 like Winger that tracks back as well as forwards.

That's the reality of the restrictions that apply in the A-League. He hasn't been amazing I agree but as far as imports go he hasn't been the worst by any stretch of the imaginiation? I thought the 3+1 rule came in season after next? If thats not the case then well sadly it will have to be goodbye to Mr. Terra. Need that spot to be taken up by a versatile European defender imo. Unless we can get Thwaite or convince Mr. Madaschi or Ogenovski to come back then we can start looking at using the third spot in a more attacking sense.

I am just going on what Scott Munn said in his long interview on HeartCast, that all clubs had been advised not to contract more than 4 visa players for next season under the proposed 3+1 rule. It was at about the 11-minute mark of the HeartCast. Can't remember which particular edition, but Lachlan was the host and interviewer. I've listened twice to make sure of what Scott Munn said.

yelawolf Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 are either of Bresciano and Sasa possibilities? aren't both on contracts beyond this season? can't see either club releasing either of them Solorzano will only come if we guarantee him a first place start, after the tards fucked him around this year.. also depends on who the coach will be next year and if he wants to play 1 or 2 upfront, although would love to see a Babalj and Solorzano partnership next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit i hated Shroj more than most things but he has really come to the plate. wins the ball... what more do you want from a defensive midfielder. usually protects the back four or three fairly well. prefer him to hoff or sarkies. however, if we sign breciano or another very decent centre mid place germano dm and breciano up the park....
