cadete Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Nah, sure there's plenty of Germanos around town they could find. Remember Australa is attractive to South Amercans.... + regular salary without any qualifications. Find developing players and on sell, but need a creative midfielder and striker which will cost. The rest can be bought on the cheap. Rear last years succes and go to a second finals game and I'd be a happy man. Did u not read the post? We only have 3 visa spots for 3 of these Germano's u speak of - There are 10 other spots to be filled at least by Aussie's thats is why I am suggesting him as a capable squad filler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huzie Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Vangelis Moras rejected Victorys final offer today (the greek CB who wrote on twitter he wanted to play in the A-League) maybe we could be in for a chance...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marteaux Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I was tweeting Richie Cardozo a few weeks ago - he seemed very happy in Austria but his club was not doing too well, obviously. He was being played almost as a central midfielder to some effect, although his favored position is definitely Striker. If it's true he is back in Aus - it would be criminal for the club not to give him a trial. He could certainly do a job for us coming off the bench next season, and can offer us good depth to Fred and the striker we sign, for a relatively (assumed) low price. @ the Greek defender - if Vicmongs can't dish out the cash to him, what chance have we got? (if this is the case). But who knows, stranger things have happened and wouldn't be the first time Victory has let a star slip through their fingers to the benefit of us. I really want the club to hurry up and start making signings and announcing pre season friendlies. Also looking forward to the 2012/2013 fixture being released so I can start booking away days.

We should have offered him the 1 Year Base Salary contract for a forward last year that we gave to Maycon - I really hope the club doesn't make the same mistake again. I honestly feel like the club chose Maycon because he was like the "Mystery Box Choice" compared to an Aussie player who like Richie who they would have seen play several times before in the flesh.

marteaux Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 What do you either of you know of him that you haven't read on his wiki page? How many times have you seen him play, and please explain how he would be a perfect fit instead of just saying it. I'd wait to the reasons as to why he didn't sign on with Victory become apparent before calling for him to be signed - I haven't been following the situation but isn't the guy a Greek international?

Tesla Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Have you guys realised the players we have had trial and seriously looked at are like 30yo state league level players or completely unknowns, because we can get them on like 50k, and you expect us to go sign a Greek International who probably wants 500k+? I believe we will sign one reasonably expensive player (probably Hernandez) and then fill up the squad wit cheaper players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadete Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Any money we have will be spent of the 3 International spots: JA basically as such when he was announced as Manager. Considering we have one of the best crops of proven A League Young Aussie Talent (Mate, Behich, Marrone, Good, Hamill) and the Economic troubles elsewhere in the world IMO this is obviously the best plan of attack. People need to get over Newy signing some solid A League squad players, we are hardly going to sign squad fillers before we sign the players we want to be the cornerstones of our starting 11. MH has found solid squad players from the State Leagues before such as Kamal and Zara in our first season and as a watcher of VPL I have no doubt that he club can do it again.

When does it start and finish? Indian Premier League = 20/20 Cricket I-League = Football There are 14 teams in the I-League.

LR9 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 The club is looking at signing 21-year-old Scouse 'Kepper Chris Oldfield, as the NYL no. 1. He's been the no. 1 at Hume City this season, conceding just 10 from 10, 2nd fewest in the VPL. The kid came through the LFC academy and was the number 1 in his time all the way through to the u18s before he left. I've watched him at Hume and on LFC TV a few times and he is really talented, great reflexes and long kick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Released by Liverpool at the end of 2009/10 season. Then Darlington - released. Short term contract at Rochdale for beginning of 2010/11 season, then joined Bangor City January 2011. Then trialled at Aberdeen, going on their pre-season tour of The Netherlands in July 2011. Don't know what happened then, as he was pretty keen to join the Scottish club. If we sign him perhaps we can give him some stability. Edit: Must have not quite made it at Aberdeen - joined Warrington Town in the Northern Premier League. Edited June 17, 2012 by jw1739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR9 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 He played for Bangor City in the Welsh Premier League last season and won the league, and reached the Final and Semi's in the cup comps. He was the No. 2 and had a handful of starts. He has been in really good form at Hume, he's a decent prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart_fan10 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 if he's signed on a youth contract he won't take up a visa spot. But what happens next season when he isn't eligible to be a youth league player? would we have to sign him on a senior contract and have him take up a visa spot?
