SBS reporting that Babalj is signing for AU
May have dodged a bullet imo
Everyone all over the A-League FB announcement of Watson, ADL fans rejoicing he's gone and others mocking the coaches signings. Everything is back to normal![]()
Doesn't Watson have European Youth experience? Trying not to wade into this striker debate but if we are going to take that as a positive we should do the same for Watson.
Does anyone think that the FFA are trying to leave the 9 & 10 spots free in case a new owner comes in and wants a couple of decent signings to get an instant feel good factor? Or do we think the FFA have already found them and are waiting to announce them in a few weeks to get the most impact in membership sales once the media starts talking about the HAL again? Just getting my conspiracy theories out there...
Where is anyone speaking highly of Babalj? RAM said he was shit and not worth marquee money and all I can see in response is that he's less shit than what we have and that the suggestion is that he's not on marquee money at Adelaide?
Also, Babalj has yet to come back and spend 3 seasons at Oakleigh nor has Watson played a Socceroos game.
He seems about on par with our current options with a better upside. Which isn't meant to be an insult, just he probably isn't a HAL level starter yet.
My initial point was in linking the Watson hate to the Babalj, let's call it "non-hate". People jumping to negative conclusions. I'd rather have a team of Watson's over a team of Carney's. Cameron Watson's that is, no Shane's allowed.
