Any thoughts on who you'd bring in to replace the guys you've cut?

Dylan murnane
Nigel boogaard (controversial I know)
Luke devere
Devante clut (love the name)
Scott macdonald
The rest : new set of foreigners, couple of returning Aussies abroad

Basket case club. Only realistic signings are NPL players.

In terms of foreigners, I would rather we search too find players like Berisha, Broich, Finkler and Carussca. In the confines of my squad I have two foreigners, so sign 3 foreigners (1 LB, a DM/CM and another striker). In terms of other players, we normally sign pretty solid youth players so target some of the better guys in that area, guys like Kale, Brendan Cholakian is a beast young player and maybe 1 other. Look for a big aussie marquee to round out the squad then I'd say

Same way they were found too come over here, people within the club do their research and do some scouting all across the globe to find the players we need

That would mean we need the right people doing the research.

Brisbane had Rado, who talked to Dario, about Broich and Berisha.
Josep had worked with Carrusca before (I think?).
Not entirely sure Finkler's story.

But it seems to mostly come down to the links the coach has as to whether the visa players pay off or not.

I would have thought Stubbins would have seen, and been able to negotiate for, some decent players from Thailand. I know he tried with Paartalu, but I would have figured he would have had a bigger list than that. Not sure where the Montano link came from, but Steele was obviously a Carney and Cahill recommendation.

So after taking that into consideration, what coach would you put in charge to then get these players like Broich, Berisha, etc?

The obvious coach is Mike Mulvey, outside of that though I couldn't tell you.

However, I look at leagues like the MLS, and I see pacey as **** CB/LB/RB's like Wynne, Opara, Beasley and Yedlin who are all at least in my opinion guys who would be staying at level playing field in terms of their career if they were to come over to the a-league who could tear up. I look at Wynne, who is quick like you wouldn't believe, and you match him up with Madaschi who is solid, and that is a good connection in theory.
You look to places like the Ivory Coast, a bunch of talented players, and again quick players which is something the jets sorely lack and I believe some of those players wouldn't look out of place in the a-league. It really is just a matter of having guys travel overseas in the off-season and doing some recruitment which is mixed in, at least too me with finding a good aus marquee like a James Holland and getting some of the best young talent and honing their skills like a Kale Bradbery

James Holland he goes alright
There is this aussie playing in Austria think his name is James Holland
What about that James Holland bloke that use to play with us
Maybe James Holland would be a good Aus Marque
We need some Midfield steel how about James Holland
Oh and don't forget James Holland

I would be surprised if Kew even sees this season out, and Bridgey will be promoted to head coach and become Bridgey the white.

The first part of what I said is still relevant, maybe not all of the second part. In some way these relatively unknown foreigners made their way over here through people within the club. How well we do talent scouting wise in overseas markets is fully dependent on the dream coach we get in this scenario. I named mulvey but I also don't really know any coaches that are or aren't available that make sense so I went with the simple pick. Again, it's a similar situation though where the club does research too find the best guy possible

Actually of the blokes you mentioned.
Brioch, fell into the wrong crowd in Germany and got in some strife off the field. His agent suggested a new start away from Germany and Europe and began to shop him out. He fell on Brisbanes door step.

Berisha, played along side of Dario Vidosic and was recommended to Rado by Dario, hardly a scouting network.

Finkler, was recommended by Fernando Rech to give the A-League a go Finklers agent then reached out to Victory.

Carrusca, of the lot he was one that seems Adelaide found him, he was hardly an unknown but having played for Galatasary and Estudiantes.
