Wilkinson to Shitney so thankfully he's a no go ;)
Its a wish list of players coming off contract not a predictionQuote:

So the Herald today says that the FFA has instructed Miller not to make any substantial signings before the sale of the club is completed. If it is indeed the Ledman Group that is the successful bidder, judging by their intentions in the Portugese 2nd Div you would think our foreign players will all be of Chinese descent.
The Herald also claims we have signed a player from another A-league club and will be announced after the Grand Final. You would think then it must be an Australian on a modest contract from either Wanderers or Adelaide. Looking over either clubs off contract list I can't see any player in that category....BUT...I have heard a strong rumour we have signed Devante Clut. Wether this is the same player we will see
Nothing wrong with signing Chinese foreigners, as long as they're good and Miller does also want them on board then I see no problems with thatQuote:

Clut's Clits
James Brown Sam Gallagher Cameron Watson Joey Gibbs Kaz PataftaQuote:

We said the same about Mitch Cooper back in the day, to be fair. Granted his career has been blighted by serious knee injuries since he joined us.Quote:

There's a difference between some of those players and what Clut isQuote:

I'll pay Patafta & Brown as potential that didn't work
I did say solid signing that's not blowing anyone away, it's worth investing a couple of youth players and I'd rather go with someone like Clut then someone from a youth team that's never been against a-league competition
Yeah but the season with Stubbins he was considered a bright spot, and he had some decent runs this season. I wouldn't discount Coops yet as being someone with the potentialQuote:

Yeah a few blokes have made a name for themselves at the Jets Taggsrt Brillante Birraz etc but I thinking that more their abilities winning through in spite of the bullshit they have had to put up with and has **** all down to the coaching
Yeah agree Member. Taggz was lucky that Heskey got injured in the pre-season that year and was thrust into the starting line-up simply because he was the only other option as a #9. Even with Brillante, GVE basically done to him what Miller done to Cowburn this season....using him in a makeshift role to fill the gaps in defensive roles when the kid is a midfielder. Fair enough they are still getting valuable experience playing at HAL level, but we just don't have a good record over the years of developing young players....in their best positions.Quote:

The list of highly skilled kids in many sports that were good enough but ended up having shortened careers due to injury is very long.Quote:

Kanta is a good example. GVE used a 16 year old kid still growing like he was a hardened 25 year old and most people would say now that it probably ****ed his career.
Why would we want to develop young players when other clubs can do it for us ? It's a waste of money.Quote:

The bollocks that gets tossed around on this forum is amazing.
Well lookie here.Quote:

Clut might be on the mark.
Has been granted an early release from his Roar contract.
(Grim beat me to it)
Jets just announced we signed Clut
Understudy to a foreign No 10. Will also limit Mitch Coopers opportunities

Clut will flop.
Good talent!! Great to add to our outside threat, something we have sadly been missing
I agree. This is a direct threat to his position. He can either step up or look to challenge in a different role, such as the position out wide he played in the Brisbane game.Quote:

For whatever reason (make your own mind up about this one), apart from Kitto, to a certain extent, none of the younger players in an attacking sense really kicked on this season. Just hope Clut will get some decent opportunities to showcase his talents and make the most of them.
As a Miller signing I think he will get his chance, and probably ahead of Cooper (unless he impresses). Where the risk to his appearances may occur is a new owner removing Miller and replacing him with his own coach.Quote:

Considering they wanted to sign him in January and were knocked back. To then still chase him now when other options would be available shows that they really wanted him here.
Personally, im all for it. I have always been reasonably impressed when he played for Brisbane.
Good signing as long as its not one of our "big" signings.
deva's devos.
He'll flop himself to a SE Asian 2nd division.Quote:

Like the member with women.
nah.Quote:

Clut is a Parramatta junior. Is he a Malteser like Muscat?
EDIT - see he's French/Spanish
Squaddie only from what I've seen. Can't get a run at Brisvegas and they are happy not to re sign him
Hope he proves me wrong.
Technically, he was released by mutual consent... maybe they would have been happy to keep him but didn't want to upset him (or others who want out)Quote:

But as we know with these younger guys that play sporadically before signing with us, anything can happen.
Clut's cl*ts FTW...or for the :ban:?
Finger your Clut banner I think needed
