Just feel we are lacking in depth in this area.

If we are parking the bus i feel Millertime could do with another option or two

Also seeing as this is a key area on the park a few $$$ signing a quality player would be of use. Rather than fumbling along with our pop gun midfield and then wondering why our defence is too busy and our attack gets no supply

The reality is our midfield was not good enough last year. There is no evidence to say it is going to be better this year either

i think cowburn given time will be great in midfield. Agree poijak and kanta rnt good enough buy maybe brown will be class in that position

Have to agree with the member here 2 options come straight to mind, Milligan or Jimmy.

We are lacking at DM because we used a visa spot on Poljak, who although competitive, isn't in the same class as some of our opposition.

But there is no way we should waste another visa spot there. Goals was where we lacked last year and our last 2 Visa spots/salary cap should be used on genuine goal threats.

I would argue that this is why Brown was signed. To bring some classy touches to the middle of the park and keep the ball. Time will tell

Vujica confirmed.

Of the Australian players overseas under the age of 20, Vujica was the standout option. It didn't take long for me to scan through the list of candidates and pick Vujica out months back when I was looking at potential options. Should provide genuine competition at LB which is great as the u20's usually are just making up the numbers.

I get the feeling he will get first crack. It wouldn't surprise me to see him start against Victory.

This is precisely why our last two Visa spots should not go to the attack

If Brown is any good let's make this area even stronger

One for an attacker and one to strengthen the spine of the team in the middle of the park which will help us in both attack and defence

Not much use having two good attackers if the midfield is shit and they barely see quality ball and these two have to outscore the opposition as Boogaard and co are getting sent off all the time as the dumb ****s in front offer little

Looking at the type of signings the club are making, I get the feeling the style of play we have will require much more dynamic players. Last year, Leonardo was a traffic cone in defence and Trifunovic wasn't the most mobile forward option.

Stacking the midfield and having a few fullback/wingback options says to me these positions will be doing a lot of running. The depth is required for bench positions and to account for injuries.

At this stage I don't think we will play on the counter because we don't have the natural speed out wide.

If brown is class wont he and ugar be good enough in the centre of the park and throw in clut just further forward

Jets wont be signing any more defensive mids, surely. They arnt playing barcelona or bayern Munich every week. Pick the guys we have, If they dont work out get new guys in at sesons end, simple.

Jets will sign 2 more attacking players. Japanese guy at edgeworth goes ok, criticism that he doesn't get involved enough is fair. Excellent touch though. I heard Miller looking at a few players formally from English under 21 league. One from chelsea and man city. Another 2 from liverpool, Adam morgan is one name ive heard.

loftus cheek on loan make it happen Miller

Big gamble, lets face it, how many English imports have adapted to and been a success in the A League in recent years?...crickets...
Good Spanish players are a dime a dozen and come here, it's obvious they are technically superior...Castro, Isais, Corona for eg. what are English players going to offer better than what we already have here? We already have Brown, should be looking Continental or South American in my opinion for the other 2 visa players.

Andy Keogh doesn't play cricket.

To be fair, he isn't English but he has come from the English leagues which is more relevant than whether or not he is English.

i do agree, the league hasn't had much luck with English imports with a similar mentality to our own. However if anyone is familiar with this player its Miller from his time with Fulham reserves. Its all very much wait and see but i think we need to trust miller on this one.

This is his chance to show his skills of talent spotting and his ability given this is becoming very much his own squad. i think the job he did last year was very good, which makes me eager to see the style and little improvements we can make this year. it will take some time getting us back in the finals mix however a bit of consistency with coaching and recruiting will help

I wouldn't waste my time on English players

Have a look at their shitful NT

Anyone who can't even get in a side that bad isn't worthy enough to play for us


As Stopper said go for countries like Wales Spain Germany etc Countries that can actually play the ****ing game

Apparently Cooper's been told he has no future at the club and not to bother going to training.
I believe Clut,Brown,Nobby,Hoole are in front of him.

Interesting. I got that sense late last year when he was in and out of the team.

Would anyone take Bulut? Keen on a return to the A league. Personally I would. Love the entertainment. Love shit tats. And kinda rate the bloke.
