Squad Cleanout

[Premy]

Nah, none of them would play for us unless a shed load of money was thrown about and we all know that Tinkler isn't about to do that.

I think Porta, Smith and Bradbury would be relatively cheap.
Porta, 32 chance to finish his career in Aus wouldn't demand to much coin, I wouldn't imagine his on big dollars in Ecuador so the wage may not be to dissimilar.
Smith, chance for regular 1st team football, could possibly get a loan deal.
Bradbury, park football or a professional contract?

As to Cambiaso and Holland yes I agree they would demand marquee wages.

doesn't matter who we sign as long as we have the coach we do

Agreed.

Should sign Chipperfield as our next boss. At least he knows how to park a bus.

[Nou Camp]

I would take a coach whos only experience is playing fifa, championship or football manager

I've played Football Manager at the highest levels... where do I apply?

Full disclosure... I am pretty shit at FIFA.

[De-Champ]

I have a coaches licence fully accredited by the FFA.
I have driven the players around on many occasions.

[joel31]

I won the World Cup with Australia on FM. I think I win

[Grimario]

I did it with San Marino. In your face.

And you rated our squad as the best in the league with Biraz, Neville, Steele, Carney, Madaschi and a bunch of others I am forgetting as amazing Europe level superstars.

[Nou Camp]

I took Plymouth from div 3 to the treble
and 17 straight la ligas with barca (before there was messi and Ronaldinho)
ahhh might have to fire up the old CM when I get home
I think Phil should start playing

[Mark325]

I'd say sign
Scott McDonald
Richard Porta
Danny Ireland
Kale Bradbery
Brendan Cholokian
Massimo Murdocca
Cam Watson
Unlikely but Pablo Sanchez

Wow
Screenshot?
How many years did that take?

[Premy]

I'd say sign
Scott McDonald
Richard Porta
Danny Ireland
Kale Bradbery
Brendan Cholokian
Massimo Murdocca
Cam Watson
Unlikely but Pablo Sanchez

Finally someone who adds some context to the discussion.

Murdocca and Watson, I wouldn't mind if at the right price, A-League quality and would add depth.
Cholakian, haven't seen any youth league for some time. How's his form?
Ireland and Bradbury, I agree wouldn't brake the bank and good squadies.
Porta, HELLS YES
McDonald, nah pass I think his well pass his best.
Sanchez, Didn't he just sign an extension with Adelaide? Although I would take in a heartbeat.

Cholokian seems to be in good form, I put him in the same category as Bradbery and Ireland. Wouldn't break bank and a better squad player with more potential then some of our lot
Personally think McDonald at CAM has seen him revitalised a bit which is why I choose him
From what I've gathered him and the dude they grabbed recently from Real both haven't sign extensions so I'd be on that quick.

[Mark325]

So for me my overall squad would be

Birraz
Neville
Regan
Kanta
Josh Barresi
Jason Pepper
Mitch Cooper
Ben Kennedy
Daniel Mullen
Lee Ki Je
Brandon Lundy
Radivan
Boogard
Enver (Serbian guy we're signing)
Scott McDonald
Richard Porta
Bradbery
Ireland
Cholokian
Watson
Murdocca
Pablo Sanchez

That puts us at the 22 so sign up another foreigner to hit the limit

[MFKS]

Think you are missing a couple

Virgili Sam Gallagher and Cowburn are dead certainties to get new contracts

[Premy]

With the uncertainty surrounding Phoenix and them only being able to offer players a contract until the end of next season how long will it be until other clubs start picking the carcass.

Personally I want us to try to get Burns & Reira.
Dangle the carrot of a 3 year deal in front of them to secure their future and think we could be half a chance to secure them.

what's the uncertainty?

[Maito Mitch]

God I hope we don't sign Burns. I don't want to see his career ruined, he's just coming good

[Premy]

what's the uncertainty?

Phoenix only have an A-League license until the end of the 2015-16 season. FFA need AFC and FIFA approval to renew it and a decision doesn't look any closer to being made.
