If we just did something wild like playing with 2 upfront for a change we actually see some fluency.

Fox Sports reporting now that Petratos is "defecting" to us..

Zane did that with Heskey and Taggart and the results speak for themselves

Dimi is a pretty solid signing.
Kosta, anyone know anything about him?

A performance Kosta made last year for Perth, I was waiting for him to be Pinto'd.

Striker plays for Glory

But he did play well at false nine in perth and at home vs adelaide so who knows

---

I don't disagree, I don't think he's a striker either. I was just saying, from his games for us I think that's where he has looked best. He definitely hasn't looked as good in the last month as earlier in the season, there might be something else going on too.

I think it will be youth boys.

Apparently Zane has released a fair few of our older sort of youth players.

Don't get me wrong, I see a lot of potential in clut but he is sluggish as they come. He is definitely that sit in a hole type of player and has a good eye for a pass but I fear with more athletic options available under jones we won't see the best of him.

Should build a team around him. If a high flying team such as Brisbane rate him highly, It would be extremely dumb not to figure out a way to get the best out of him

**** me

Some of you think of Clut like he the next Zidane

I just see the next Kaz Patafta


He too small to make it in this league

Put him against bigger players and he struggles


Hey Plague now we signed that useless sack of shit in Petratos I take it RAHEEM Sterling has been hooked from free kick duty and secondly we are out of the race for Steve Lustica? ??

This too small argument is rubbish. Cahil was given the same stick. How tall is Messi and other world class players. If Clut wants it enough and works hard no reason he cant make a big impact in this league

They wanted to keep him so I heard but he said no because he was behind players like broich oar and borello

Petratos is a Jones signing Member. Remember that when he is on the field, good or bad.

You should be praising your new salty milk shushie provider that he's actively targeting players other A-League teams want, not slagging Petratos off before he even arrives.

Nothing official from Jerks yet......Don't know what they waiting for?

Bingo every team loses good players. Makes sense Petratos wants to be closer to his family.

I agree.

Zola is even smaller and more successful in two very physical leagues.

In fact a lower centre of gravity and quickness may be an advantage in many respects

Unbelievable, a few weeks ago, everyone was raging because we don't make a move on players before other clubs do, and we end up with the dregs.

We finally move before anyone else does, on a decent signing, for once.. And everyone is shitting on the guy.


Fact is, Brisbane offered him a new deal, we offered a better deal and we're convenient because we're close to his family, so he came here.
Guy is a first 11 player in almost every squad, yet because we sign him, he's an NPL quality player all of a sudden.

:lulzturtle:

P.S Nathan Burns and Goodwin are both playing in better leagues than the Aleague. They actually had to LEAVE a club to go and play for another club. F$%king astonishing.

I actually read it that the tall fella was agreeing with my sarcasm..
I was waiting for Captain Obvious to chip in there..

Agreed

I didn't say it was Zane, I was referring to the so few times this club ever plays 2 up front. And didn't work???, you have got to be kidding. First coming of Jeffers made Jesic look lethal.....and that takes some doing

All I remember of Jeffers was missing sitters and Jesic lethal?? nope no way never

How does Jesic scoring 3 goals in Jeffers first 3 games sound, or 4 goals in 6 games? Jesic was a hack but in Jeffers first guest stint 2010/11(played 9 of 10 games from memory) he made Jesic look lethal. Jesic only scored 6 goals for the Jets and 4 were in Jeffers guest stint.

Jeffers second stint was decidedly different.
