He's Gypo garbage.
Just get 2 lightning quick Azian wingers and we'll win the comp with the bozos we have and SuperCoach Ernie.
Hey for those of you wanting Bitch Nichols
Remember when our new hero Georgevski tagged him studs up around the knee caps ??
I bet you Bitch Nichols hasn't forgotten
Please. Nichols is not garbage. Do I think there's better no.10s out there? Sure. Do I think there's better Aussie no.10s? Sure. But all are playing overseas and staying there bar troisi. He doesn't take a Visa spot and is a good attacker by A-League standards.Quote:

get a foreigner like WSW, Perth, City, Brisbane etc etc etc.
besides, from memory Ernie played fat carlos as a 10 but he was too fat to get up field so he was essentially a dm anyway and he just sprayed it to the wingers and they crossed it to Danny ****ing Allsop and won the comp.
Surely the Ooga Booga man can spray similar passes yeah?
More to the point is how a Merrick coached team would use someone like Assface Nicholls anyway yeah.

Have I missed anyone?
From this its clear to see we need a number 10, another centre back, a winger to replace Hoole, a defensive midfielder and someone to play along side ROD.
Milligan is signing for Al Shabab so we can rule him out, If were going down the Australian path for a CDM Paartalu is available, Andy Rose is a name from left field who is out of contract.
Nathan Burns could easily fill the winger spot but I think he is to good to be wasted out wide in the A-league, him and ROD uptop could be a lethal pairing.
Central Defender wise who here would be opposed to having Taylor Regan as a back up defender? He has had a good season with adelaide, and may not demand a huge part of the cap
Which then potentially leaves us with having an international player to fill the winger spot, Marquee wise Im not to sure who is available.
FBK could again be considered.
Which leaves us with a potential starting 11 looking like this

Kokko up front Roy out wide. He'll be expected to be in the far post to tap in after Nabbout runs past everyone and crosses too deep for Kokko.Quote:

I like your ideas Evan. Just for Scnitzelgiggles, see below.
This is a terrible line up, using the guys we already have, but it would be fun to see what happened.
- Kokko - O'Caravan
- Clut
- Nabbout - Uga - Brown
- George - Jackson - Koutrombone - Hoffman
- Duncan
Make our fullbacks cover a ship tonne of ground and whip in crosses all day.
Two angry strikers working the defense hard. Solid amount of Mongrel between them would mean the defence wouldn't want to hang on to the ball.
Enough legs in midfield to nip at everyone who comes close to them.
Jackson can deal with anything in the air. Koutrombone can catch the quick forward runs.
Hate to say it but devon head Carney was, although he has crap engines. He turned the GF for blue aids.Quote:

Worst comment i've ever read from you Hawk.Quote:

Reegz already extended his contract at Adelaide. So, not an option.Quote:

If you read back what I wrote I said it would be a win to sign an aussie no.10 because it solves an issue without taking a visa spot. Provided that no.10 is decent enough which I believe Nichols is. This is the part you and I disagree on. Will I be disappointed if we sign a visa no.10? no. But in my opinion Nichols should certainly be looked at as an option.Quote:

Don't let the reality that he done nothing in it cloud your view thoughQuote:

Whilst you ignore the fact he was one of their top players in the weeks leading up to and including the finals. Get off your high horse.Quote:
