He's short and doesn't score a lot, but for a six month contract I'm happy for us to give him a go.
Have you followed the HAL for long? In the history of the a-league there has been 2-3 transfer fees paid for players by my recollection.Quote:

he was a toiler but lacked a bit of quality - I'm expecting the sameQuote:

One thing that must be credited to Miller when compared to Stubbins is that Miller has signed most all of his players to much shorter contracts, Stubbins ****ed up in a lot of ways by signing some un-tested players to two year contracts for no reason.
We'll have to give this guy a game or two to get re-adjusted but back a few years ago he seemed a pretty prolific scorer, unlike guys like Trif who were never belting in goals consistently at any point in his career. Obviously his current form isn't looking the best but you never know.
i'm all about this bloke, will get his name tattooed on SD's arse if he scores more than 5 in the rest of the season
I quoted you on this on the pod recording last night. Sorry that I couldn't remember who said it to give you a shout out at the time. So sorry and thanks! :/Quote:

So far we have some bloke who is about the 40 th best footballer under 23 years old in Australia and some Danish 2nd division player
Far out. If that is the best we can do even Griff couldn't save us
Now all you glass half full guys out there enlighten me with your continual defence that Millers hands are tied etc exactly what it is you see with him that when given a wallet full of cash to rebuild our club he is capable of bringing in players of the adequate quality
This bloke is not even a ****ing gamble. He works out it looks like a good signing as his reputation is not even there.
It fails then the club can wash their hands and say it was only short term
Cowardly signing if you ask me

What part of that makes you say his reputation isn't there?
Bon said it right. People are gonna whinge whoever we sign. How about let him play and then comment on him? Triff has scored 7 from 15 and people are still slagging him off.
to be fair though, they slag him off for the 20 or so sitters that he's missed.Quote:

He's Danish not Dutch and only scored 6 goals and missed heaps he should have over 15 goals by nowQuote:

I reckon we have done well to get someone from an actual professional league.Quote:

some of you blokes would boo santa claus
I would.Quote:

It is sensible to write him off before he has kicked a ball.
This place is deteriorating.
Been noted he actually has a pre A-League record better than Berisha.

So it ain't like he has not had money to spend.He just signs players not up to it.
Now whilst you sit there watching us get towelled ,6-1 at home and wish to keep defending the bloke who refuses to do anything to significantly change the situation at the club does it occur to you that your inability to accept that Miller has signed players that are plain well just not good enough to turn our pliht around.and is in fact actually making us suffer more by not actually making significant improvements so we are better next year ???
Facts are this shit is on again next year as well as he has failed to start making the changes necessary to have us at the topend of the table any time soon
Like What actually is the plan??
The FFA don't seem to have one but he still has 2.25--2.6 million salary cap to spend on adequate players to be significantly more competitive in this league.
He is failing
Considering that football is a global game I think that Australian clubs signing 30 odd year old blokes from 2 nd tier Euro clubs is a ****ing disgraceQuote:

HAL should only be signing blokes over 30 who have a profile to put bums on seats.
Focus on blokes under 30 who can contribute on the pitch and represent good value like Broich Berisha Leaky G Song etc
Blokes are out there.
Go find them FFS
all these gen Y's rose glasses shit. larf
hoffman has been decent good bye. kitto is starting to look dangerous in patches just needs support but will agree the rest have been crap. How on earth a striker that doesnt move have 6 goals >.<Quote:

How can you not see that his job of signing quality players here in Newcastle, would be like pushing shit up hill. At no point have I ever said he's done a perfect job, or even a great job of who he signed. But I can face the facts - we're going to have to perform a few miracles with mediocre players before the better ones starting glancing our way.Quote:

Not to mention his reputation here in Oz is 0 so if you honestly think we're just going to beat other clubs to the better players signatures, you're more ****ing deluded than anyone.
I actually can't see one single issue with this signing. If clubs only signed 'sure things' football would disappear.Quote:

If he's good enough, we may just have a reliable attacker already signed for next season and it's one less to worry about in the off-season.
We've had trouble signing decent players since the Remo Nogorotto days - bring Remo back... ;)
I think we took Remo for granted when he was the Football Manager (i think that was his role) under Con. Not 100% sure but I think he would have had a lot to do with signing likes of North, Carle, Zelic,Okon, Covic, Griffo and Grifflet etc. which is why we were in the top four sides the first 3 years of the A League.Quote:

Love the experts on here slating him before a ball is kicked. But offer no names of better players likely to be able to be lured to newy given our "no owner" and 2nd last in the league situation.

Why don't we all take a chill pill and just wait and see how this bloke plays before condemning him. Fact his that he is now signed. Let's hope it turns out well. If, after a fair chance, he turns out to be crap, then get your knives out.
This is a good post.Quote:

If Sydney are short of Aussies, I don't think we will receive a first team player to replace Carney. We will get a squaddie or a "kid with potential" because they won't want to damage their squad depth. Naumoff & O'Neill are fringe first teamers. Calver hasn't been around the first team this year so he is likely.Quote:
