That's crap. Jesic pretty much only played well/scored when Franny was on the field. That was a massive bro-mance right there.Quote:

Have the jerks announced it?Quote:

And the announcement, we have both Petratos brothers.. Two for One special?
I didnt question the truth was just wondering cause I hadn't seen anything from the jerks and then of course Brisbane beat us to announcing itQuote:

Well looks like Devante Cluts days might be numbered.
Even heard his manager (andy harper) on fox say he needs to lift his game on sunday.
Cant play football if you cant run.
I expecting some better signings than that though.Quote:

Moving Forward
Patratos is trash and garbage. Looks like the kind of bloke that would wear Adam Griffiths t-shirts.
Typical Middleby nonsense.
Don't worry he'll be out here kissing the badge as he skies another one into Goninans so you lot can be chuffed he's playing for the shirt.
Meanwhile Johnny K is just gonna walk and no one cares until he's playing for the Socceroos and erryones like "man how did we let him go?"
So now we're the cashed up bad guys playing the cap and pinching players!

You just know it's going to happen before he arrives or in the pre-season.

You've had worse !Quote:

If Dimi is to play #10 and we still sign the striker Jones bangs on about needing, where that leaves Nordstrand will be interesting.
Next season, super sub at best. A top line striker will be a must.Quote:

TBH he would be mad to go over there now.
Noddy off the bench next season.
Need a top line striker, quick and clinical.
Nabbout/dimi/brown/ Hoole not bad depth. Can't see us keeping leilei, good to keep if Hoole does leave
Seriously you want to keep Nordstrand just to fill the bench.?
Waste a Visa spot on an injury prone getting old fast player???
FMD
That ain't how we make semis finals
It is actually having the balls to say to Nordstrand thanks and goodbye
Just as we need to be doing to Kanta BK Hoffman Poljak etc then go out and sign better options
Sentiment needs to be left at the ****ing door
Noddy only needs 30 mins to win games.
But fair point, a foreigner spot should be reserved for a full 90 min player.
Mullen kanta bk prob won't be offered contracts. Poljak, as an Aussie citizen, would be worth having around in the squad.
Made this point on the podcast.Quote:

My issue with Petratos is that he was pretty much always the 'worst' player in that Brisbane front third. Teams had to worry about Broich, Corona, McKay, McClaren heck even Henrique more than him so he always found himself in loads of space (moreso Broich and Corona creating space for him).
But now we are either signing him to create for others (as a #10) or as another winger who now doesn't have anyone to create for him. I just don't see how that guy can make our team better doing either of those roles.
So until we sign a true #10, and Ooga Booga becomes Corona/Isaias, he ain't fixing anything.
Happy Australia Day.
