    100% No to Holland showed everyone what he thought about the Aleague with Adelaide. Rather Kanta to Holland at least Kanta can kick someone whenever he plays

    Diving bans: Will retrospective action work?

    Anything to reduce this scourge on the game is a help. Yeah there's heaps of grey area and the big clubs will probs get off more often but ever since that Brazilian a**hole diver Rivaldo fell to the ground like a twat it has almost fkd the game.

    Like Okon would have anywhere near the contacts Ernie Merrick has in Europe
    Disappointing to see that even the Gypos recruit better than we do.

    FWIW the club that he is from is the same club Ange Postecoglu's new bolter kid in the recent Socceroos squad is from. I would casually guess that Ange is one of the reasons that players from that club are on AL clubs radars.

    I'm always skeptical about players whom spend their whole careers in one country/area and then decide to come to the AL. Like Alivodic, or Kokko. It's definitely a gamble imo (well, I guess most visa players are a gamble innit).
    OK

    He's been playing 2nd division the past few seasons on loan - so I'd guess the lure of more money here would have been enough incentive.

    From what I casually hear about Kokko and co also, they see Australia as their "in" to the Asian market also.
    OK

    If we signed him I could only imagine the criticism levelled at the club for not aiming high enough, signing another drovandi/de groot/hakanson rolled into one etc. Yet as soon as another club does it, we assume he's quality?

    It also comes down to what kind of league it is, club etc...

    I would take a bloke playing in the Bundesliga 1 or 2 and only there anyday of the week.

    Degroot and Drovandi to a lesser degree did very well after they left the Jets. Hakanson never overcame his injury woes from what I have read and was pretty much finished.
    The coast signing though is a central mid, 28 years of age who appears to be able to get around without the aid of crutches or a wheelchair - So absolutely no comparison to the shit the Jets sign.

    Makes a lot of sense. I think our owner purchased the Jets to get into the Australian market / develop his non-football business interests.

    Anyone know why we signed Drovandi and after 1 game is never seen again?

    He probably failed a beep test at training so GVE no longer wanted him. Also I think the language barrier and GVE's lack of tolerance for foreigners might have come into play as well.
