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

[RAM]

I'd keep Kanta and BK. Kanta's versitility has been really handy this season, and at least he puts in. He has been better this year than he has for some time.

[Frodo]

You say we shouldn't be blinded by loyalty in a Salary Cap League, News Flash there is now a loyalty exemption in the salary cap that Kanta fits into and no one deserves it more than him.

This point doesn't matter at the moment as the FFA won't spend outside the cap, if this changes then my view would change.
At this stage though his wages don't match his contribution, both on the field and being a local lad. Sorry, i just don't rate him at all, i think he is as good as Watson. Plus he gets carded every single game and causes us problems defensively as soon as he goes in the book.

I'm sure he is a top bloke and works his ass off but he is only good enough to be a back-up, and he earns way too much coin to be a backup in our squad.

Closer to once every 4 games though this season he is above 1 in 2. Not quite every game.

No don't let the truth get in the way of a good rant.

What games have you been watching? As stated earlier in the fist half of the season he was all but our best on ground most games, comparing him to Watson is unjust and unfair. How many games has Watson played out of position this season?
His still got his best Football ahead of him and if we let him go he'll pick up a contract elsewhere and do a Goodwin, Elrich, Bridge, Brockie, NTS, Abbas, North, Durante, should I keep going?

[WolfMan]

How many games has Watson played out of position this season?

Personally, I'd say all of them whenever he's not on the bench or omitted from the squad

Oh man.
I knew someone would go here with that question but dear lord you phrased it well.

My bad, not every game. That said he has accrued the most yellows per minute played than anyone in our squad, so he is does get too many yellow cards. He and Hoffman both need to learn how to defend without constantly fouling players.

I don't rate him as a footballer and i honestly think he brings as much to the team as Watson. He never looked comfortable at centre back and he is nowhere near Leo or Morty as a 10 so he is basically fighting against Poljak and Urga and he is isn't as good as either. Where does everyone think he is going to play every week other than the bench?

So my comment still stands. He earns too much to warm the bench. #SorryNotSorry.

Tend to agree. He is not to the standard of other quality mids in the league. Good bench/squady but for the money needs to be better. Id rather use his money + a bit more get a higher quality mid (prob import).

I'd offload Boogs or Mullen for him, Mullen especially considering he is well over the price we should be paying for him

Or play him at DM alongside Ugar and let Poljak go and free up another Foreign spot (or not resign Kanta)

Where does the info on Kantas salary come from? Can't say I have ever seen it in the press. Everyone has a price and if he is overpaid then I agree, but Kanta seems to be picked in the 15 every week so can't see why we wouldn't want to sign him. At worst he is a great option of the bench covering multiple defensive positions.

Borat beat me to it.
Where are you getting his Salary figures from? I can't recall it ever being published how much he earns, so with that how do you know his overpaid? Also what do you think he is worth and how much would you offer him?

I vaguely remember that there was a thing up a while ago explaining how much everyone's like for like contracts were at the start of the season, and it came out that Kanta was on 180,000 but I could be wrong

[Hunter403]

Cahill contract terminated. Don't care how old he is, he'd look good in a Jets shirt

If that's the correct figure then yeah it's probably over but IMO not by much probably 40-60k, that said the availability to have his wage/part of his wage not included in the cap also shouldn't be forgotten.

Don't hold me to that figure, this was when the like for likes were done, so around 8 months ago now. Memories hazy but I can't think it was much lower
