The Patito story blew up because it was leaked in the Greek media and then everyone here got on it. Otherwise we would have been non the wiser.
Good to see we're willing to fork out 3/4 a mil on a marquee though, sounds positive.
Hopefully the caliber is there though.
Merrick might be getting frustrated having not had to deal with a salary cap or player budgets at is previous appointments.
RodrĂ*guez also missed 4 games with a Malleolar injury this year and had 68 days off in 2015 due to injury. Merrick might rightly see him as a risk.
If you look at his value as a player pre 2015 injury and post the injury Rodriguez is certainly a player in decline - even at a relatively young age.
Then you look at how small he is and he's going to struggle in a physical league unless he can compensate with agility / speed - which he appears to have lost. since 2015.
Yeah but played with Neymar so yeah.Quote:

What is his agent moaning about??Quote:

This time it the club
Seems like the parasite is blowing up mainly because Bert has cost him a pay day and now he stuck trying to find Rodriguez a new deal elsewhere to get paid
Anyway good to see we not settling for any old **** who will do
Good to see Bert is selective and letting balls go.through to the keeper
Pato back on or maybe never on or maybe never off or something.

Im getting my 90 emotions without the 90 min
This is typical Jets
we have to overcome more hurdles than Sally Fleming.
I just wished they announced a signing when we actually have a contract signed its like watching Days of our lives.
Jane Flemming or Sally Pearson, yeah?Quote:

I've heard rumors he's got even more tenuous links to a whole host of other great players for the media to milk way too much copy from.
both im just too flusteredQuote:

the defending in the greek league appears to be total trash but gee whiz this bloke is way too good to play for us
1.40 & 2.53 outrageous
yes but what is his relationship to Neymar?
Apparently trained with Antwerp In Belgium for a few wks but wasn't offered a contract. Said his fitness wasn't great.

Vargas did his ACL a few years back and has a long history of serious injury problems since. He will not cope with the physical nature of the a-league.
Nailed on signing.Quote:

I dont know if that classes as a long history of serious injuries. Yes the ACL and patella problems were more severe but they were back in 2012. Since then he has hurt his elbow for 2 weeks and a groin and abductor strain (common football injuries) so not sure that rules him out of dealing with the physical nature of the league. Doing your ACL also doesnt mean you cant play anymore - yes there are players who have never been the same since they did it but there are also a heap of players in all different sports who have returned after an ACL repair.Quote:

It's official, Vargas is in, and as Marquee.
Will reserve judgement till he plays.
Wouldn't be upset if they lined up like this.
GK - Duncan
RB - Hoffman
CB - Boogard
CB - Topor
LB - Georgievski
CM - Brown
CM - Ugar
AM - Nabbout
AM - Dimi
AM - Vargas
ST - Roy
(Or Vujica at LB and Georgievski at RB)
