He wants decent coin.
I rolled everything you said up into "RAM said he was shit" and if you can't make that connection then there is something wrong.
I will agree with you he has never set the HAL on fire and has done little in Europe to warrant marquee money.Quote:

Babalj has big potential. Make no mistake about it. For the right price he would be a very good signing for a side as ours.
To say he is on par with Labi and the rest of our strikers says to me you are massively over rating the blokes we have and you may be getting high off the horse shit smell blowing in from your farm.
PS on another note tone it down a bit with your replies around here.
The gestapo are watching
If Babalj won the golden boot it would not suprise me. He's got good technical skills, a powerful shot, and he's as big and strong as anyone you are ever likely to see in the A-league.
His record in the A-league so far plus a little overseas experience would make him well worth a shot as an Aussie marquee.
Too good for the likes of us I guess.
The lure of getting fed chances by carrusca, cirio, Sanchez, Goodwin, jeggo would be much greater than what we can produce.Quote:

It's been too long since someone complained about Hoffman.. Are you people not even trying anymore?
Trialists were cut today. Trying to find out who
I'd say Danning was one, Ramsay left earlier in the week.Quote:

Burgess, Antelmi (sp?), Cowburn and one other were trialling
The Williams twin was the other.Quote:

That's not rightQuote:

He is as contracted to the club just like Carney BK Leaky G etc.
Yes the club can choose to release him completely from his contract right now but they would be obligated to pay him out.
Millertime though may like what he sees in Brandon and offer him a big boys contract before season starts anyway. Unlikely as for simple accounting procedures with the salary cap they would be better off waiting the 12 months and then doing it thus keeping Brandon at the club but paying him less money for the meantime.
As for Cowburn he is on the same Yoof contract he was on before he played HAL level last season.
If he gets picked and plays he in the HAL he gets paid match payments as stipulated in the deal which count towards the salary cap. He is on the exact same wicket as every other kid in the Yoof team except he is expected to train with the first team.
He is too old to meet the criteria of the Yoof contract Lundy is on and the club will have to upgrade him to a senior deal in the next 12 months or cut him completely when he gets too old for the Yoof team
Difference between the two really is that Lundy has a guaranteed income from the club where as Cowburn gets peanuts unless he plays HAL or Millertime gives him a senior deal.
With that vast amount of knowledge you really must be the son of ChristQuote:

The problem with these NYL contracts is that they don't bind the player. At any stage during the year another club can offer Cowburn a short term injury replacement deal and he can walk immediately.Quote:

I was told from a deadset spot on sauce Lundy definitely signed his contract the day before Pascoe got his job back.Quote:

My sauce is pretty reliable and without divulging who I am pretty content they are accurate.
If I recall the timeline of events correctly it was signed even before Millertime got the job.
Fair enough, is it tomato or bbq?Quote:

This surely means all of either BK or Kanta's contracts will be considered outside the cap, and we have a bit more room to play with for our remaining two visa spots.
Also, apparently the FFA are moving to 2x Marquee positions, as opposed to 1x Marquee and 1x Australian Marquee.
I brought this up a few weeks back...Quote:

Yeah Grim and I went back and forth a bit on it and decided the Jets are a dodgy rental.Quote:

wait, i just realise i'm talking crap here. ignore
Even though you said ignore, I feel like it's fair to point out that Piovaccari has a far, far better CV than Sydney FC's Filip Holosko. The fact that Piovaccari was "unlucky" enough not to have been born in a far lower ranked international side would be a large reason why he hasn't had international caps. And Piovaccari has come from La Liga, and scored goals in an awful team there, whereas Holosko came from Turkey. So I'd say even without the international games, Piovaccari is much more deserving of a marquee position.Quote:

There isn't one.
