The signings or rumoured signings of Hoffman and Labinot have Mark Jones all over them. Not a bad thing, just an observation

Wonder how Labs will go. Bit older, new coach, still has the passion
I have to agree with wolf man on this.
I wonder how many of these signings have been in the pipeline prior to miller signing?

I'd imagine a fair few.Originally Posted by Blackmac79
Due diligence takes time, then they'd wait till the miller gets to look at them for final say.
Yeh that's the way I see it going too. Perhaps they had a list of potential players for him to look over. Someone like jones and jp would help a hell of a lot.

JP originally gave The Chest his starting gig here. Sounds more JP to me for both the wsw signings.
What else are your support staff for anyway if they are not recommending people for you to sign?
Not saying its a bad thing.
I remember watching the youth play magic in the NPL and standing behind Jones (with his poodle Iphone background (need to tifo this idea)), and murphy while stubs was having his tinks paid for holiday, they were discussing players like nothing else.

I think the fact that so many people see haliti as a great signing is a pretty big indicator of our level of expectation. Also the level of acceptance we have had over the years. This guy would be just an average player at any other club, not one to be excited about re signing. Sure he will do a decent job, but im sick of "he tries hard and plays for the shirt" i want to effing win some games!

See I couldn't care less about winning. The beauty is in the struggle.

one thing at a time.
let sget them playing with some pride, the winning will come.
and expectations are limited by the salaray cap situation.
Excellent. I'm really excited by Poljak

So if Jimmy Gardiner is right and there are another 2 foreign players to be signed, then that leaves the first 11 in a lot better shape than what it was looking likely.
If as I expect Poljak and Watson will play 6 & 8 with Kanta as backup that still leaves us one DM/CM short for depth. You would think one of the kids currently being trialled would pick up that squad position. However it got me thinking. If we are bringing back the likes of the Hoff & Haliti then why not Jobe Wheelhouse? Serious question has Jobe been out of the HAL too long or could he handle it?
Would Poljak be considered one of the foreign players? or did he say 2 more still?
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
This club has yet to demonstrate that it deserves to have Jobe back.

Would assume this means two additional, not inc Poljak.. Considering it was part of the Tweeters conversation of him announcing the signings.
Article in the Herald on the signing of Poljak and Haliti explicitly states 2 foreign signings earmarked for the front third, presumably a 9 & 10, and are additional
Is Cowburn still with the club on a Youth contract? Ie is he eligible to play still like Lundy?
Great signings! Hearing rumors about Santalab and Babalj on Facebook. Can anyone back this up with a source?
Feck I hope not Santalab, Babalj maybe.
