    Our backs are leaky as and is a big issue. We need a hard cvnt at DM as well a solid back 4. Then work on the attacking 5

    It the midfield.

    Blokes there need to be muc much better

    Not NPL standard like Kanta and NPL standard like Ugarkovic and iceland standard Brown etc

    Fix this area. We keep more ball and blokes there are better at taking the pressure off the backline
    So you saying we should sign Milligan?.....and can play CB if needed....
    Dare to Zlatan

    I'd be ok if we played like Icelanders. Hard as f*cking nails those boys.

    Need to set your sights way lower. Merrick has been scouting players at Bentleigh Greens. Been to their last few games apparently.

    Agreed

    Not much point having 500k of your salary cap standing there at CB as attack after attack stream through.

    I would be happy for another Jackson like Signing at CB for competition but that's all.

    I would like Nick Ansell, he fits your bill.

    Baro is obviously a good player but i do agree that that foreign spot could be used better elsewhere on the park. There is enough quality Aussies out there that we could look at.
    WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !

    That would be a good trick seeing he has been in Europe since before his appointment.

    Would not matter anyway as you can use the Rookie allowance to sign an NPL player that is in excess to the 23 man squad and outside the salary cap. IE Brennan and Alwright

    I would definitely take Nick Ansell. He is an upgrade on our Central Defenders (except Boogard, and he runs him close).
    I also don't mind Baro, dependent on whether we can get decent Aussies in the attacking 3rd (ie/ marquee's).

    If we sign Milligan he go straight into DM

    He be the best DM in the HAL

    Why play blokes out of position??

    He could do a job at CD if pushed
    But you play your best players in their correct position

    Milligan will be 32 this season and he's going to be looking for a marquee wage from any A-league club. Sorry, but his best football is behind him and I don't think the club can afford to be chipping into his pension fund.

    He would be the best DM in the league by a far margin. I don't care if he is 32, he would be our best player easily.

    Milligan is 200% worth what ever he wants. Bosses the aleague and would teach Ugar alot. BUT he would never come to the jets

    FBK signs with Roar.

    Love your work Lawrie.

    Feeling the blowtorch so leaks a list of BS targets to mates in local press. Fans lap it up and completely forget what a basketcase of a club we are. The art of distraction.

    Still got the best 2nd keeper warming the bench though #wegotthis

    You'll take all this back once our new technical director Terry Venables gets here and sorts this mess out.
