SQUAD FOR 2015/16 SEASON - no Griff, no party

[Frodo]

Whats everyones feeling for season 2016-17 in terms of recruitment?
Which imports should we resign?

If we win the league all of them..

If not, FOLD THE CLUB!

[rhysd]

Nord
Trifunovic

Maybe leo

Alivodic needs to score a few goals between now and end of season. Otherwise no.

Poljak is here for next season but would sign him for longer.

I agree.
I would keep nords and trifunovic.

Unsure on leo, he has class but injury concerns and his age are a worry.

Alivodic as harsh as it appears would probably have to go. Not enough goals or assists.

Need to resign biraz and Hoffman. But biraz may leave overseas on a free.

lets come back to this at the end of the season

That sounds pretty smart. Wait til the end of the year and risk losing any good players for nothing or resign them at a higher rate. Good call

I think he means us discussing on the forum, not the club attempting recruitment.

[Tommyjet]

A potential new owner makes it had to realistically discuss now. I mean if the New owner wants to spend the whole cap, concessions and marquees then I wouldn't be keeping any of triffo, Leonardo or enver. I'd also be thinking of better Aussies than we have, James holland etc.

[hawk]

send em back, send em back

[Mark325]

If we did get new owners I would definitely shift some shit around in a big way. I personally would still keep Triffo and Leo on board, if Trif ends off scoring over 10 goals come season end then he's worth retaining, and Leonardo with a full off-season is definitely worth retaining. What would change is that I would cull 2 players who's contracts aren't over, but that I feel we could get better value out of there positions

So, the empty spots in my team would be either a winger/attacking mid depending on how you wanna use Leo, a midfield spot as I would remove Poljak, a LB spot and a spot at CB cause I'd get rid of Daniel Mullen. I would move both BK's to outside the cap, re-sign Birraz, Hoff and Lundy as well. Make Nobby a marquee, sign James Holland as a marquee in the midfield. Look overseas to a foreign LB, which puts us at 4 foreigners, sign Clut from Roar and then sign Rhys Williams as the CB replacement.

So, our team would look like this:

Birraz
Foreign LB - Boogard - Williams - Hoff
Holland - Uga
Leo - Clut - Nobby
Triffo

Bench: Haliti, Cooper, Kanta, Cowburn, BK

That's got 7th written all over it.
Nobby worth keeping but still within cap. I like where your heading with the Aussies. As I said, if we got a decent owner, triffo and Leo gone.

So essentially, what you'd change is that Nobby stays under the cap, and you'd sign two different foreigners at the left wing and striker position, with one of them or the LB being the marquee instead

I'd explore the option of removing poljak. Ideally someone like holland, possibly Rhys Williams replacing him.
Plenty of left backs getting around the league that are stuck behind more established ones that we could tap into.
Marquee spots to be used in the attacking 4

For me I'd even accept someone like Steven Lustica as a better starting midfielder then Poljak

What LB from other teams would you try poaching?

Ben Garrucio

[plague]

sack everyone.
sign Griff.
the rest will take care of itself.

[Mark325]

Ben Garrucio

I wouldn't say he's the best available, Cowburn is probably as good as he is in that position

[steve136]

No way should we keep Trifunovic around. The guy is absolutely rubbish with the ball at his feet, cannot hold it up to save his life and shows zero composure. He doesn't run hard, is too slow to get in behind the lines and contributes zero when defending.

But he's scored nine goals?

Let's look at how he scored those. Penalty, tap in from 1 yard (that he hit the keeper on), a couple of good headers, penalty, header, penalty, one on one with the keeper that the keeper got a good hand on, penalty.

It's important to note that he created a grand total of ZERO of those penalties himself.

So basically, on three occasions across the entire season he's showed a good ability on the air. Is this really what we want out of our import striker?

It's impossible to count how many chances he's absolutely butchered, although there's been a good number of one on ones where he's either been caught from behind because he's hesitating, or has just plain fluffed it.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more suited to the Jets he is. Make him marquee.

Also, Alivodić no longer looks like a a guy that's played football before.

I'll pay all that honestly, didn't think about those goals till after and sorta realised that from a strikers perspective his goals aren't quite what you'd want.

And watching this game he isn't the best footballer, I'll stick by Leo being good though

[Tommyjet]

Ben Garrucio

Yeah garrucio, murnane, Galloway from victory
