BS

There some countries around the world where the club's intentionally blood kids to en sell to European clubs

They then put in transfer clauses etc in the deals and the club's are funded on this method.

It our countries fault we are not making the effort to blood kids at 16-17 in the HAL giving them 2-3 years and then en selling

That because we ****ing stupid and have a pile of shit **** mercenaries going around in the never ending circle

FFS how many of the HAL clubs show any interest in playing anyone under 21??

There is no relegation

So no excuses for not doing so

Baro signed with mariners

Well then we should help him out

Come up with some more "rumoured" signings and start the Twitter frenzy

There's probably more as well but none of them would have a model Australia could adopt successfully.
The substitution effects [alternative sports or professions] and income effects [higher standards of living] just make the chances of Australian clubs doing the same impossible.
Not too mention the fact that we don't have the technical ability to produce players like these countries do either - come to think of it neither do most of Europe either.

News is, Hoole to the gypos. Right where he belongs.

Shows how much he actually cared about our club. Good luck to Okon with his pissweak mentality and attidude

That'll spice the derby up and surely that can motivate our crowd

Who are more than likely using Gatty.

Saying he's already signed. Not a 'possible' like usual.

who?

never heard of him.

sounds like hes broke

guess Brymora has a decent chance at an OS contract:

if the gyppos talk is true though for Hoole, that truly is a career fail, being second fiddle to Pain has to be a career lowlight...

Good luck to him. I hope he does well and earns himself a contract

Quote Joel Grennell, March 1st this year...

Quote:

“Hooley does not have a desire to play for another A-League club,” Grenell said. “This is the right time for him to jump into the deep end of the ocean and try and forge a career in Europe, which is no different to any other aspiring young footballer in the world. There are clubs committed to offering a deal if he continues his good form. At the very least these clubs are committed to getting him over in the European summer and having a look at him in the flesh. It's an exciting time for Hooley.”

http://www.theherald.com.au/story/45...ffer-to-hoole/

This twit has close to ruined Hoole's career, at this stage - he may turn it around yet.

Should take a leaf out Brymora's book. He is taking the path followed by Johnston, Kewell and Cahill. Take a punt on yourself with your own cash and get in their face and find out how good you really are. Not spend one or two OK seasons in the A-League, be convinced you are a superstar and and have an agent sell you to the Romanian second division.

Lawyered.

He couldn't even do that, unless you've subconsciously made a link between Romania & the gypos...

Nuh - just a generalisation.

Good luck to Bymora

He is having a go

I would be surprised if he succeeds over there but good on him for having a crack

Good enough to earn two PL trials but not good enough to play more than 9 mins last year. Jeez our club is shite

Mariners saying there is another signing coming tomoz after announcing Golec today. Could well be Hoole.

Cue foz outrage that we missed out on Golec.

It's worrying how the Mariners seem to be signing all these competent footballers to fill the glaring gaps in their playing roster with a full preseason to work them into the squad and set up tactics/formations. I don't know if I could cope if our club started doing that...

Agreed. And good on Kristian Brymora for doing it old school and showing some balls rather than taking the easy path like 99.9% of the pussies these days.
It will be a nice wake up call for the Jets when he shows others how it's done without a shit club to hold you back.

Do we take him back, if he comes crawling home?

Makes you wonder why they let O'Donnovan go so easily. They don't have a striker. In my opinion seeing Hoole go would be a shame. He's a competent A-league standard player. No more no less. I do believe he's been a pretty big scapegoat at our club for the past few seasons. Would like to see him work under Merrick. If they replace him with someone better I will forget pretty quick.

He won't come crawling home because there is absolutely no shame in giving your best to make your dream a reality. It's not like when Hoole went to Sydney and so on.
The only reasons he won't make it will be football politics or that he's simply not good enough. His attitude and dedication to his chosen profession is pretty much flawless.
You should be giving him credit for showing the balls to have a go rather than running him down for putting himself on the line.
I seriously doubt the Jets will be his only or best option if things don't work out for him in Europe.
If the Jets did have a position available for him and he accepted it I'd have no issue with that either.

O'Donovan either wanted too much coin or he's got injury concerns that the Mariners don't want to deal with. My guess is Okon will probably bring in someone that's even better for less money.

I never put him down, I was simply asking whether we'd consider taking him back should his adventure to Euro not pan out.

Good on the kid for having a dig.

I would go further. Hoole is a quality player at his best but struggles for consistency. Now he is scoring goals, some of them crackers, he was well worth persisting with. Not our basketcase of a team though.

I always thought Jones had him playing a style of play where he was encouraged to takes chances and try to beat the man whenever the opportunity presented. The problem was he was pretty lazy at tracking back and copped bile for it.

Agree. Just think the A league is probably his limit. Jones had him playing a direct style which suited him and Nabbout. Just think he could have been managed a little better off the pitch. Something Merrick would have done. He also will change with age in my opinion. I could have handled him playing a similar role as Carney did in Sydney's squad last season.
