SQUAD FOR 2015/16 SEASON - no Griff, no party

[halo se7en]

Its not about signing sure things.

It is about the unwavering belief that Miller should have in a player when he signs someone to the club that they are what he wants to be working with to turn this club around on the park.

This is a $1 each way gamble.

There is nothing in it that says Millertime is 100% wanting this bloke at the club as a key component of stopping the rot on the pitch.

FFS We have a squad full of blokes he doesn't believe in.

Why sign anyone that he doesn't have 110% faith that he wants here??

Also anyone coming in right now should not be a bandaid solution for this season which is basically ****ed anyway. They should be a permanent part of his plans for next season and beyond.

Do you ever read back what you write? Who says Miller doesn't have belief in this guy? If Miller doesn't believe in his players then the first step would be signing different players, which he's doing. He's also just signed an Olyroo - is that not a player with a view to the future? Isn't trailing another youngster a view to the future? I don't understand what you actually want, aside from something to whinge about.

And why is a bandaid solution a bad thing at this point? If we can finish this season with some level of respectability, the players won't be demoralized, and the club will have a marginally better chance of attracting marginally better players and we won't be left with another wooden spoon. Either you're a really angry person which you should probably do something about or your shtick is getting as stale as our club.

If Miller believes in this Danish bloke and has done sufficient research he signs him for this year and next.
He actually backs his ability as a Football Manager (Which actually is his job by the way) and assesses that this bloke is good enough now and good enough for us next year and gives him a longer term deal

What he has done though is given the bloke a 3-4 month short term deal to come out here and basically trial for a gig next season.
Sure he may work out he may not work out.

That being said Miller has not put his balls on the line here making a decision right now. He has been here 6-7 months now. He should have a fair idea of where we are where we need to be and what we need.

When actually are the decisions gonna come from him where he puts his balls on the line moulds the squad as he sees fit and lives or dies by the consequences??

Because I ain't seeing it just more cowardly bandaid decisions

In other words you have no idea.

He said Griff which is the best and most sensible idea i have seen. We sign Griff he escapes punishment for attacking a linesmen in the family jewels and we win the league simple. In conclusion SIGN GRIFF FOR 100+ YEARS as captain/coach/ceo/owner

Too easy

Now you have fun picking holes in that

The Member just out here whacking the checkmate on every sucka who fronts him.

Top form sir.

A coaches decision on players is only as good as the information he is given. Do you think we have sent someone to go watch him play a few times this year? Your statement is correct, it is his job and he should be making decisions and sticking by them, but to keep the same line going.. The club doesn't have the money/personnel to go on scouting trips to Europe so he is gambling somewhat no matter how much video he has watched or agents reports he has read. Maybe he doesn't have enough info on him so he's said here's a short term contract to prove your worth.

Which could be good business if he doesn't adapt well. If is amazing and just leaves to go to Sydney i will apologize to you and concede you as supreme lord of the Forum.

So first you criticize the signing in the first place, now you're criticizing the signing because it's not long enough? Wow.

I reckon it is a poor signing point blank from a lower level Euro League of a player past his best


I reckon Miller has no credibility when he makes signings and doesn't have the balls to back his signing long term but instead takes the $1 each way approach with a short term deal yet refuses to deal with the big problems within our squad that he still needs to be resolving.


Exactly which part of that you having trouble with understanding

[q-money]

what farken dream land do you live in where we can attract decent players?

Prob the planet 2008 where Remo was King and Griff was God.

Sign me up for a one way ticket there when it's my time for Martyrdom. Better than your 40 virgins etc etc.

The part where you were asked for suggestions and have still offered 0. The part where you were asked why we'd be an attractive option to players, and again you've offered 0.

And the part where you criticize this signing but claim Miller has no balls because he's doing it as a trial, which to most people seems to be a smart way of going about it. If he signed him for 18 months you would have ****ing slaughtered him.

How can he solve these big problems? By a 15 player cleanout in January? Lol Offer a solution for once instead of this monotonous illogical criticism time and time again.

Don't distract him from actually providing a proper response.

I hope your not expecting a constructive response. The easy way out is negativity and some people are too weak to look for any positivity. Do what I do and ignore the comments made by certain members of this forum or otherwise there is no point being on here. Has worked wonders for my forum experience.

[turbojetfireV8]

think the Dane has good enough pedigree to do well in the A League, my concern is apart from signing Steve O as a potential replacement we still have the worst midfielders in the league in Watson and Poljak who rarely pressure and can't make a pass to save their lives for vast periods of the match, are they gonna stay on the pitch or can we phuck the pair of them off and get at least one more decent replacement mid??

For the most part I do, but every now and then I bite.

PS: Griff will be too busy as head of the new Australian republic to play for us BTW when the revolution comes, need to look at alternative options...

How do you know it wasnt the player who requested a short term deal to see if he can settle in over here before committing to a longer stay?

How do you know that miller hasnt already got a list of dead wood he's going to cull at seasons end? And a list of recruits for next season?

You have to remember, he came in here needing about 10 players, with fvck all money left in the salary cap, no cap concessions, no marquee money available, and not many decent free agents left. He has assembled a squad that he could afford. Maybe at seasons end when he culls some people that are not earning the coin theyre on (watson), and maybe an owner willing to throw some money around... Maybe then we'll see some better players and some more attractive football

No wonder the clubs a "basketcase" when half of the fans are too!

I gave you a suggestion.

You have failed to address it.

Why ???
