Not a bad signing, looked to be a promising kid last season so definitely could pay off, at the same time not the area of the field we should be focusing on.
Going the route of signing two or three other high quality starting players and from there trying to find the best young guns out there who's skill you can hone isn't a bad idea, looks to be the route we're going. Maybe not the best in the short term but could well pay off with a good coaching staff behind them
My initial reactions were yes but if it was 2-3 years ago definitely. Bresh is at the end of his career and although his brain is still a step ahead of most players in the A League, his legs are gone and it's very unlikely he would be able to last a full game.Originally Posted by Frodo
The latest is that Iain Ramsey and Kofi Danning are trialling.
Both are decent enough and have shown some potential over the years but are really squad players. I think they are both the type of players who with the right coaching could step up to the next level and become first team regulars.

I would love to see Kofi Danning here, good attributes for a winger in the HAL.
Ramsay is probably slightly better than what we have aready, i.e no-one, so i guess we can't complain too hard.
Apparently beggars can be choosers..
If they are signed I hope they are cheap. Not overly keen on either
Ramsay has scored a goal every 2nd game on the international stage? He has only played 2 international games but never let the truth get in the way of good internet conversations...
Not the worst signings if we get them, two players who have the potential to be quality with good coaching.
If Ramsay is on anything more than minimum wage, he's done us over.
If they are signed, it'll be for a one year deal. We're setting ourselves up for a good tilt at a squad next year with appropriately paid players given their contribution (I hope). Some higher paid players will be coming off contract next season so signbing players for more than 1 year will compound the problem.

Apparently beggars can be choosers..Iain Ramsay?? Gee...maybe we should start slagging off at some quality players for the next few years.
Might land them here on that basis if the Box Head is coming to town.
Little Man's Disease (LMD) better make me eat my words then if we sign him!

You know one name we haven't been linked with (that I have seen)... Cernak. Surely we are due him at our club at some point?
Now you've gone and done it. If it happens I blame you.

Isn't he in South Africa? With Brockie.
Yep, we are safe for now
Thank **** for that.
(January signing)
Starting to get sick of City's signings. Theyve bought in Franjic, Gameiro, Novillo, and now Aaron Hughes... Thats on top of already having Mooy, Paartalu, Kisnorbo, Koren etc etc...
Just shows the difference in having owners with money and willing to utilise marquee spots... Not FFA funded scrooges.... But it still has me f#%ked how we can end up in so much cap trouble with so many roster spots still left
Cowburn at right back on minimum and then the backline is sorted. Griff on as supersub / striking coach on minimum wage. Frees up the cap space for quality midfielder and strike partner for griff.
Don't see you attacking the others that have also suggested Ramsay would be a decent squadie
