Love it.
About time we heard something from him again. Hopefully a few signing in the next couple of weeks
Now Phil has come in and chopped some of the run of the mill players like Zads Roundabout Caravello etc any chance he is gonna get some of the under performing locals to step up or **** them off back to the NBN???
Galloway Pepper Virgili Kanta BK haven't exactly been pulling their weight in recent years
Big season from kanta I reckon and make or break for chilli and pepper
Yeah big one for Kanta, i have confidence in him.
BK is a decent back up keeper and he is local. I cant really think of any other teams having much better 2nd keeper.
Virgilli and Pepper i think their time will be up when their next contract is unless they pull something amazing out of no where.
kanta was killing it before his injury last season.
I don't think we need squad players.
Having a pile of good squad players has seen us achieve what in the last few years??
Sweet **** All
We need to actually pull our finger out and purge some of these makeweights taking up valuable space in the salary cap that could be better spent on blokes who
1 Have the desire to front up to an F3derby and kick the shit out of the Gypos on the scoreboard
2 Have the ability to finish higher than 7th in a ten team comp
Also, has anyone else looked at Virgili's wikipedia lately? This little part got a laugh out of me:
"Virgili broke into the first team in the 2012/13 Hyunadai A-League season. He is now a regular starter known for his very high speed and his ability to get past players with his amazing skills and ball control. This benefits Strikers such as Emile Heskey and Ryan Griffiths."
Agreed. Thought he was one of if not our best performers. GVE actually had something semi-decent going when Kanta was there - back 4 in defence, and in attack Kanta would drop in to become the CB of a back three. It was when Kanta was out that allowing our wide backs to bomb forward didn't work out anymore.
Good luck keeping the starting 11 and maybe the next 4-7 players without having a few lads on lesser money.
Fill the squad with quality..... All 23 spots, all good enough to walk into a starting spot anywhere else in the league.
Get Melbourne storms ex-accountants to help you.
Got his work cut out for him. Still a number if spots to fill
Only problem is we are going back to where we were before GVE bought the kids in.
We now have no Taggz No Beard a pile shit and Griffo
What progress has been made blooding the kids isn't bearing fruit when you sell them before you get success on the field with them
This was always the downside and expected outcome with the retarded gve. Get talented kids in, under perform for a few years, become qualified then out the door before we get the reward on the pitch.
Aleague is a high transition league so might as well have the now competent players for a couple of yrs then move on. Keep a couple of younguns on the fringe.
f*cken hell how good is big phil going here, easily outclassing big phil scolari and the hated gypo big phil moss
still a little behind big phil smyth but hey you can't win them all
He's closing in on jarred McCracken's older brother Phil to break into the top five Phil's of all time.
He's no Phil Jamieson yet but if he keeps going the way he is, we are all gonna be winners. And you know what they say, winners are Grinners.
:dry:
Phil Jackson is ofcourse no.1
He's actually a lot lower than you might expect, the Phamous Phil ratings are a bit like the FIFA rankings.
1. Punxatawney Phil
2. Phil Smyth
3. Dr Phil
4. Phil Donahue
5. Phil McCracken
6. Phil Stubbins
7. Phillip Morris
8. Phil Collins
9. Phil Jackson
10. Phil jones.
Interesting reading back on what we were hoping for when he signed....
Better than that though, Phil puns and list of Phamous Phils. No doubt stubbing has slid further in the rankings than the socceroos!
Report Card: FAIL :blush:
Unlike Phil's adventure in Thailand, I don't see his time here having a happy ending.
