I understand what your saying, and i agree a couple of marquees outside the cap would definitely see us better able to compete wage wise with other clubs.
I just don't agree that the marginal cap saving advantage that re-signing these two players (who should be on min wage) allows, outweighs the downside of bringing down the overall quality of the squad by encouraging these mediocre signings.
If we did get a couple of quality marquees and ALSO stopped paying overs for the players that wouldn't get a run at another club... then we're onto something.
You consider a 300k saving in the cap as marginal?
Also, you talk about BK and BK as if they are two players that are of Sam Gallagher or John Welsh standard. They are both exactly the type of players that a Melbourne or Sydney would keep around as serviceable squad depth.

I think Kantarovski has been quite reasonable this year. He started well in the first few weeks while Poljak was injured and kept him on the bench until he was forced to CB. Last weekend I thought he hit the ground running.
He's undoubtably got injury issues, which must be considered if he is re-signed - perhaps incentive contract based on appearances.
As it stands, if we want to take advantage of this exemption, Kanta and BK are the only two who fit the critera.
I think whoever said earlier that it depends on what Lee budgets outside the cap spend will be a massive influence. James Gardiner tweeted yesterday that the Jets expect to lose $2 million this year. If they have, say, $500,000 allocated will we spend it all on a marquee (leaving the cap for 22 players) or on the 2 long serving players and an NPL player (leaving the cap for 20 players). Spending it on the 3 players boosts squad depth and as Grimario has repeatedly stated allows a greater amount, on average, to be spent per player.

So is it ok to boo Hoole whenever he gets near the ball now ? I mean the seasons practically over now without much hope of being in the finals. Seems only fair we take out our frustrations out on Hoole [Benedict Arnold]

Who he never played under. EDIT - except for pre-season .What is your point here?

Sorry, I thought Hoole signed when Miller was coach. The Telegraph even had Miller commenting about him signing with the Jets from Sydney FC

I'm reading sarcasm here, at least I hope so.
The 1 year deal we signed Hoole to was perfect. He flops as I guess most of us expected - no big deal. As it goes, he's started to hit his straps, albeit not with the greatest consistency, and we had hopes of extending his stay.
The bloke might be known as a bit of a silly billy sometimes, but fair play if he feels he is up for an overseas stint
Yeh I added the pre-season part afterward, my bad. Point taken, I knew there was one I just didn't see it at first. Cheers
Miller did FFA cup. Hoole did play under him

If Hoole goes overseas hell get a shock of how below standard he is atm and I can see him returning to the aleague in a few years
Depends where he goes. He's not going to cut it in any of the big leagues but if he ends up in Norway or Denmark, I don't think he will struggle as badly.
He obviously thinks he's better then he is. Hopefully he gets some humble pie when he gets overseas
Players of similar caliber are earning more money in Europe... why wouldn't he go for that cash, regardless of how good he is?
Can we honestly say from what weve seen this season Hoole is any better than aleague standard?
I think you're grossly over estimating the quality in some of the European leagues he's been linked with.
I probably am and are those league your thinking of better then Aleague standard??
Hoole is making the same mistake as Taggart - getting ahead of himself and going a season too early.
Could also be a case of them going ten years too late as well. They may have done better playing youth football in Europe rather than in Australia.
