So this sort of thing I think is very good because it gets you bargains without the financial burden of developing them through youth programs and so on which more often than not fails.
100% agree we didn't develop them - We gave them game because, as you rightly said, they weren't given that at their previous team (except Chapman). I'd differ with you as I don't think they were even "somewhat proven" but that's not what we're discussing.Quote:

That's how I understood it, anyway.
Yep. We don't have the mega bucks to bring in a Bobo or Fornaroli. Problem we have now is shit management at pretty much all levels so it's bleedingly obvious why someone like Jamie Maclaren wouldn't have even considered us after the PG celery cap debacle. We're a joke club, really.Quote:

Yeah but if you swapped Claudio Ranieri and Kevin Muscat would the results have been the same?Quote:

We never found out how much we got for Ryan ? :lulzturtle:
We got few dineros for Birraz :yeahright: ?
And I think WE paid WSW to take Sam Gallaway :whistling:
Dunster deserves a ban
Farrrrrr too much sense being spoken.
I remember reading Fiorentina paid 1mil euros for Brillante. That coin almost definitely went directly to tinklers tax man though.
It still comes down to money and Ranieri would cost a lot more to obtain as a coach than Muscat.Quote:

The fact that Ranieri is better than Muscat is well established but that sort of talent and reputation comes at a premium that the Jets certainly cannot afford.
How would Ranieri go in the A-league ? I'm not sure if he'd be able to adjust to the massive drop in talent and professionalism he's used to.
I've never been more disappoint in you than I am right now Dunster.Quote:

I know .... replacing Jones with someone else could also lead to similar advantages at the Jets. But the Jets work on the principle of short term solutions with long term excuses.
No.Quote:

Let's just file this one under 'Dunster has been day drinking again' and move on.
Besides, everyone knows Muscat is better than Ranieri.

Griff had skill and heart and is and was one of the best players in the league.
These ****s are neither skilled nor have heart and are as weak as piss between the ears.
So stop blaming Jones for this mess when the previous incumbent is responsible for collecting this squad of below average piss weak players
Not forgetting the role that the Gypo CEO had to play in ****ing our club up again.
Hope you Gypo loving sycophants are happy now
FFS Plague what the **** happened to the Gypo CEO thread.
You dropped the ****ing ball there
There is the first two problems solved
Big picture people
Millertime and the Gypo CEO have ****ed us up this season no one else
He returns, holly shit I can't wait for you and Stany to go at it.
