They constantly bringing in quality experienced players.

Not likely a young kid is going to come through and get enough sustained opportunities to succeed unless they are top shelf talent themselves

Who have the Tards really developed over the years??

Broxham??
Thomas??
Geria??

Not thinking of many others whom have come through the club

Some decent players left off this list that have gone on to European Clubs. Regardless of the debate around Muscat being a decent coach or not, their record for developing players is pretty good.

James Jeggo
Mitchell Langarak
Thomas Deng
Sebastian Pasquali

I'm asking if people legit think Petratos was signed to be our #10 and if so what evidence is there that this is a good idea.

i think Muscat only coaches Deng and Pasquali, and both those came out of the youth system there. Therefore i dont think they will say Muscat made them the players they are

Have heard Muscat talk specifically of his involvement in Pasquali's development and subsequent deal OS.

Has played his entire career either as a #10 or a wide forward (mostly on the right). Considering he is now the longest signed player at the club I think it's a fair assumption he will play either of those positions. I don't believe he was signed to sit on the bench.

He will force Brown and Hoole to find consistency every week which is a good thing.

Hoole getting ahead of himself again:

At least the end comments sound more like management's massive boner over signing a one-legged wankles might be waning a bit... hopefully...

His agent putting more stupid ideas in his head again - if any young Aussie was to go overseas and never be heard from again it's Hoole.

He has had two seasons with a mark of 5 out of 10. This season he is probably a 7 out of 10. Needs at least one more season in the A-League before even considering a move o/s.

To be fair I don't think anywhere does it actually quote Hoole saying he wants to go OS next year. Mostly as said it's probably coming from his agent.

Of course the kid would have aspirations of playing at a higher level. What player wouldn't? (edit Marc Warren)

Just hope there isn't too much hate directed towards him and hopefully he gets on with business and the rest will take care of itself in the coming years. I for one would be happy if he signs an extension. He's no world beater but in my opinion he has a positive influence on the side.

Well said. I think it's an important observation you've made that he hasn't actually said that - whether he privately has those aspirations or not.

It's probably games from his agent.

I think he was signed to remind us how much the club hates us. He's like Antonis as in comes with massive wraps and all but doesn't deliver.

He is off contract isn't he??
Overseas clubs sniffing about
Rival clubs sniffing about

Isn't this just typical agent dribble from an agent trying to get his client the most coin he can??

Hopefully Gypo and Griff remind him that he walked out on us then when he realised the grass ain't so green elsewhere came grovelling back.

Hold him to account for that and pay him market value and not a cent more

So BK is a goalkeeping coach at Maitland now. That's an interesting move

yeah i just dont think he's a #10 for Roar in the same way the Jets expect him to be.

As I've stated before, in my opinion he gets the time and space he does because of the players around him. he's dropping down a huge level in teammates ability to do the same and i fear he's gonna be the straight up whipping boy when it all pans out.

He be the whipping boy because he at the moment gonna be our big name signing
