Kostopoulos never got much time at AU. IIRC he played in a couple of ACL games. Lanky striker who never looked particularly dangerous. Another squaddie when we need more quality.Quote:

Which is a worry cause we are incredibly short of numbers in CM and LB/RB. Unless we are playing a revolutionary 325 formation.
What is the maximum squad size? I guess the salary cap situation will determine if we can fill all positions.
Is Cowburn still trialing with the club? It's looking less and less likely to me that he will get picked up.

Teams from the game in Armidale....
Didn't the Dishonourable Member say that Cowburn was on an NYL contract which means he is still "contracted" to the club but only gets match payments, not a senior contract where he has his guaranteed 45k a year or whatever it is for U23?Quote:

Really hope Kanta and Cooper "come of age" this season.
I really think Kanta has fizzled out and wont be in the a-league once his current deal expires. I think cooper might step up to the plate this season tho

May have been a completely different player if Bayern got their hands on him, to be fair.Quote:

The problem I've noticed is with each injury, whether it be a legit injury or a punched-in nose or whatever, Kanta seems to be getting slower. I don't know whether the injuries have led to this, or if he's just getting slower due to his size/weight variations over time, or whether I'm just making it up in my head. But he seems distinctly slower than back in his Magic, and early-HAL days, and I find that a detriment to his game nowadays.Quote:

I think his mobility is an issue. He used to close players down very quickly giving them no time on the ball. In more recent times he's not puting the pressure on the opposition as much.Quote:
