He should be retained for his wife alone.

No doubt he has ability. Particularly in the air. His first touch needs work and he does need to do more off the ball. However, he is strong on the ball and has a passion for the team. Give him another year.
i always read this stuff that he should throw himself about more, chuck himself at lost causes, basically be some dumb hybrid of berisha/mclaren/matt simon...he's not and he never will be.
maybe he's a relic from a forgotten time, maybe he just wasn't made for the dumbness and ridiculous ping-ponging 18 yard nonsense acts of the a-league, or maybe he was just having a bad day at the office. admittedly he wasn't great yesterday, but with alivodic honking it up as well how could he possibly do any better?
a bloke like the triff is all about timing, which to be fair was nobody's strong suit yesterday.
just think what we actually could have had at one point...we could have had matt simon ffs
I'm torn. Something we lack in our front third is raw pace.
If a quicker player had the chance Milos had first up, they may have scored. It's unlikely they would have been run down.
If we have a quicker player, I also think it creates a bit more space in the midfield.
But Milos has good strength and has increased his output off the ball for the team considerably. He's also now a known quantity.
Will wait until season's end to judge.

Fair call but I don't think he has "good strength", compare the way Fornaroli; a shorter yet stockier player is able to hold the ball up and keep possession under pressure.
All comes down to $$$ in my opinion. Would keep him for next year as long as we aren't paying him ridiculous coin as I would place a 100% fit and healthy Labi above him in the pecking order.

A dumb hybrid? No. I just want him to be on the same page as the blokes pinging balls into him, rather than a step behind. And I wasn't talking about yesterday but all season.
I also find it ironic that you of all people is defending a guy that doesn't put as much effort or energy into his game than what he could. Are you saying you don't want him to be a little hungrier out there?
He reminds me a lot of Viduka.
On his day he can be great but spends far too much time moping around the field not looking interested if things ain't falling his way.
I am also torn. With the right system and players around him he could get 20 goals a season in this League.
We also should look at foreign signings more long term than 1 year and see.
It is a tough call whether to back him again for next season or look elsewhere
Actually, I agree with the Member. Not unlike Viduka.
some of you blokes need to go check out how many times he picked the pocket of the gypo scum back near our 18 (otherwise known as not his problem) because he chased them down for no other reason than he wanted it more than anyone else. especially late in the game, bloke worked hard.
but yeah anyway lazy, doesn't care etc etc etc.
He gave a mouthful to Enver in the first half when little Serbian had a shot instead of looking for tall Serbian.......I think he shows passion and he works pretty hard defensively.....he maybe does not get too many good delivery to shine upfront?.....Leo does great things but has not delivered much yet except last week for Nodies first goal......

Oh dear, comparing Milos to the great Dukes. Please do yourselves a favour and check out some goals packages on YouTube of Viduka just to jot your memories of what he could do. FMD, how embarrassing.
I would retain him, especially if we can get some better quality in behind him. I thought Sunday was the hardest he had worked all season, he lost the ball with a poor touch at one point and chased 40m to pick the gypo's pocket back in our half. Leonardo lost the ball similarly a few times and stood still and threw his hands in the air. Unless we have new owners who are willing to splash some cash about (Marc Janko is off contract after the Euros) then I would keep Milos and try and sign a young Aussie back up. Maybe in the mould of Ugar where we bring a young Aussie home (Skapetis or Demitriou come to mind)
Love Milos.. (most of the time)
Keep him here..
Just curious...is this the same woman (a number of years apart)?
