Better to let the new coach pick his squad anyway.
His old man Ante Moric played for Sydney Croatia back in the day with Milicic Kalac Rudan Popovic etcQuote:

hope all these U13s Jones is signing are for our youth team, not the senior team...
LM says we're announcing new signings today. Whether thats for January or for next year I'm not sure. See who and when for today i guess.
Did he say this on twitter?Quote:

True, its always tough to stand out in a squad like Brisbane has.Quote:

Or catching up with an old teammateQuote:

I think we may not see Kokko start again for at least a few more weeks though, Jones probably wouldn't have seen much he liked against WSW. Having said that I don't think Nordstrand has been that good when starting for us either, I think both have had their better performances coming off the bench into a spread and tired game.
At this stage ill take upgrade, Well just give him 4 years like we've given Hoole and hell be world class like Hoole isQuote:

Clut seems pretty athletic to me. Are you saying he is more of a sit in the hole and spray passes and shoot when on offer kind of player instead of roam around and create stuff?Quote:

The guy is a 10 and should be played behind a striker.
But of course we like to isolate our striker upfront by themselves and expect our 10 to sit deep in the midfield for defensive cover. Needs more CB's in the midfield though.
This is why Kokko doesn't work in our system (its why Heskey didnt work as well).Quote:
