I'll still be very shocked, given his age and severity of injury, if we see him play 90 mins this season. I'll be very happy if we do, but I'm not confident.
Hope Ridenton has a one way ticket...
They say a week is a long time in football, Lets hope it is the longest week of football ever.
Bloke is physically one of the biggest pussy cats in the A League with the ball, He will probably come back broken into two pieces.
I can't see him getting a contract in the championship given he isn't a guaranteed starter at the Jets. Came to the club with Merrick, now he is gone so appears to be Ridentons chances of regular football.Quote:

This isn't FIFA, this is the real world.Quote:

Give him 2 day trial (2 day flight recovery either side) with club to see where he sits amongst current group. If he isn't out of place, make offer to players agent for wages. If not, either request footage of player throughout rest of season or thank him and move on.
Also, yay.. our already wafer thin midfield is now thinner. ..what's the record for the earliest someone has won the wooden spoon during a season Jeterpool?
Ugar Kanta Thurgate Simmons Johnny K and Patty L. That's not a thin midfield in terms of numbersQuote:

Dats pretty thin if you ask me. Which I did...
Naturally he is an 8 The coaches have always said thisQuote:

That's wafer thin considering CM is the most important part of any gameplan.
Just play him if he isn't good enough? Cause you learn how to be a better footballer by getting destroyed week in and week out by fitter, stronger, better coached and more polished midfielders... That won't destroy a 17 yr olds confidence will it? He won't become terrified to make a pass because he knows as soon as he stuffs up he isn't good enough to win it back of track the runs and the team loses because of his mistakes....Quote:

Play them so they all got 100 games at this level by the time they are 22
Maybe they will sink maybe they will swim but it better than signing the likes of Fitzuseless and Co to contracts
That last sentence of yours Member is somewhat along the lines of my thinking this last few days and how the standard of the league and lazy recruiting clubs sign these turnstile type players, The Fitzgeralds, Neville , Paine etc. These blokes get so many chances and the only thing that changes from club to club to club is the color of there shirt and not there consistently flat lined talent for this level.Quote:

Similarly i think its time and happy to be corrected if dispensation already exists but is it time to offer clubs a mature age rookie from the next level down like your Murrays and sheps etc where say 30% of there contract arrangement is counted toward the cap. Would that type of incentive to clubs see the end of the days where these revolving door players either step up or go back to a standard more suitable to there regular output.
I am no genius but there must be a way to get clubs to stop this offering up career lifelines to these mature age players who's only real ability was once to carve up the beep test and thats about it.
Thoughts ????.
Well I think your suggestions for salary cap allowances is only going to allow Blue Aids Victree and the other bigger spenders more room to rort the salary capQuote:

The Salary Cap has changed so much since the HAL started. We were all once on a level playing field hence why in early days both the Jets n Gypos had success as we had a chance. But the FFA have watered the Salary Cap down to advantage Blue Aids n Victree etc so as a result we are both going to be at the bottom of the table more often than not
Being that we don't have relegation there is really no reason why we don't try an approach outside the box
We might as well kick out all players and only pick blokes from Newy to play at the Jets. If we gonna be shit we can do it with locals
I really hope the HAL **** off the salary cap. Because when they do it will actually force innovation on the clubs
And he's going to learn so much playing NPL and 8 youth league games, isn't he? You can't really find your weaknesses at that level. But sure, let them all wait till they are 26 so they can break through and have Slater and Harper go on about "this great young talent", FFS.Quote:

My actual point is that there is a limit to how unready a player can be before it can have a negative effect on them. Langlois is 3 yrs older and still hasn't been prepared well for the jump to HAL. Our coaches at youth level are pretty trash remember. See below for further on this.Quote:

Also, if they don't allow transfer fees amongst HAL clubs we should start pimping ourselves out to any bigger euro clubs/leagues with first options on talent in exchange for coaches/training packages/loans/pre season games/etc.
Or, go with Members "Athletic Bilbao" style team with only players from the area or with links to the area. The best part of which is the removal of some of the dredge that's floated north from the Gosford sewerage centres.
Also, not sure if I missed it being posted earlier but Ridenton is on trial with Reading. They are currently mid table in the Championship.
The simple solution is to get rid of the salary cap and any restrictions on foreign players.Quote:

I don't think that really gonna matter at the top of the tableQuote:

To then be able to try and get some one through as naturalized to rort the system ain't gonna be that massive of an area for them to rort anyway
The other thing is I think it is also imperative that our teams have some mandated component of so many Aussies in the First X1 for player development etc
What? If you've been registered and played at an Aussie club for 3 years before you are 18, you are classed as home grown. That's pretty simple to work out.Quote:

Heck, add a clause that if a kid spends 3 years at your academy and makes the Socceroos side you get a bonus. Etc, etc.
Just my thoughts but I have a few misgivings about letting the cap go. We know Sydney and the two Melbournes will buy everyone in sight and dominate the league. But - who will they play against is the long term?
Unlike in Europe where long suffering fans will go and watch Watford and Bournemouth see the big 6 with no hope of winning anything, but with the comfort of TV money and a strong fallback league - here, culturally we have no back up. We can say the strongest survive and the Jets, Mariners and Phoenix et all will fall by the wayside, possibly to an el cheapo second division. But fans here won't give a toss and short of huge money coming in like they have in Japan, USA and India there isn't really anyone else who could step up. Maybe Perth and Wanderers but Adelaide and Brisbane would also struggle. Western is struggling and I have serious doubts about Macarthur.
I don't think fans here could handle a three team league.

Straight away that is the biggest handicap to clubs being financially viable
Let's remove it and let the club's spend what they want
If the Gypos want to spend 1.5 million on wages then let them
If the Blue Aids want to spend 6 million on wages let them
By having such a high investment in running or owning a club in the HAL the FFA have killed investment in the code. Remove it and allow access in
Once you allow access in we can quickly get to 20 team comp because the current BS is pricing clubs out
So good to see this

Still a long way to go, but better than expected.
So you want it where 7/10 clubs can't afford good players and only both Melbourne's and Sydney win the thingQuote:
