Andrew Hoole - 50 appearances (36 starts, substituted 18 times). 1 goal and 8 assists.

these stats scream average player at best

What will fill you guys with confidence is Hoole absolutely destroyed&embarrassed Daniel Alessi, our most recent signing, the last time Hoole played with us.

But 5 of the assists were in the season we scored 23 goals. Add to that the 1 goal he scored, and that's a contribution to over 25% of our goals that season.

Also no player provided 5 or more assists last season, nor 5 or more assists in 2013/14. The last player to reach/exceed that in a season was Ryan Griffiths in 2012/13 with 8.

He was the best player in a season where we were absolutely turd... basically, instead of cream rising to the top, Hoole is a turd that had high fat content whilst all the others that season were high in fibre.

[StannyCFCJET]

Id take him over Pav and Brennan but if he's starting every week im worried. But i will say if he resigns ill back him 100% and hope he proves all my doubts wrong as the HOFF did

So when surrounded by other high fat content turds, or the cream, will his contributions be converted at a greater rate?

I'm just playing devil's advocate here by the way. I'm on the fence with this one. I'm not too fussed either way.

I think we need to recruit better out wide and would rather more money go to, say Troisi. But our bench lacked any sort of impact last year and that needs to improve. He can certainly add to that but I don't know whether that would appeal to him at this point of his career. But, he offers more than Pav and Brennan as said above.

Remember that goal was a penalty too.

He lost it at Sydney that day in Wellington when he dived, copped it from Dura and then missed another pen. That, and the miss against Chelseas just blew his self-confidence which is something he struggles with. Looks like a deer in headlights many times.

And if you are down I think I would rather have Miller in my ear than Arnie.

[Grimario]

That and he's local, so hopefully he's come back on less coin than he was demanding back in the day after a season of shittiness with Sydney.

And your family/friends close by too.

[Wilso8948]

Does this mean we are getting Carney his best mate back too... Jeez I hope so.

Judas ****s

[Frodo]

Hoole to LB anyone?

[StannyCFCJET]

Hoole to LB anyone?

havent we seen him play there and fail?

[The Dunster]

Looking forward to Hawks input on Hooles return.

[The Dunster]

To me it not that interesting but common sense really.

Locals should play for less cash feel more settled be prepared to put in that bit extra and hold stronger in hard times.

Makes perfect sense to fill your squad with as many locals as possible and supplement it with some quality foreigners and a couple of ring ins from outside the area.

Problem we have is our locals ain't good enough to play for us let alone other HAL sides

Based on that Logic the EPL should be a massive failure.

I tend to agree with you though.

[Couscous]

Geez. He's Newy. Love him. He's us. The end.

[turbojetfireV8]

we are aiming for 8th if we re-sign shitness like Hoole...
