Dylan murnane trialling with wanderers.

Perth have somehow found some mare space in the salary cap and signed Rostyn Griffiths again

Makes you wonder how they can keep signing players but anyway

****en joke

good pick up

[Grimario]

Vadcocz wouldn't have been cheap.

Most of their squad is injured players/failed players coming back to their home town to prove a point/rebuild a career.

Wish we were half as ambitious in our signings.

U serious?

[Grimario]

U serious?

You don't think? I obviously mean their off season recruits, not most of their squad.

Williams has played maybe 5 games in what seems like an eternity. Class player but he's injury prone and a significant risk. He's also from Perth so yeah, I think he fits into the category of an injured player going back to his home town to rebuild a career.
Herd - long term injuries since the dawn of time. Last season was the first time he played more than 20 games in a year in 5 seasons. He's not from Perth but yeah, I think he fits into the category of an injured player coming to rebuild a career.
Lowry - Unwanted at Championship level. Returning home to Perth, where he is from.
Taggart - a stellar career at Fulham with his none thousand and none appearances. From Perth, returning, etc etc.


Need I go on? These aren't current Socceroos who are going to be demanding mega bucks. They are past stars or unfulfilled potential.

And don't forget, they have an extra million in the cap they get from having Marc Warren in the line up.

I don't think Rhys is there to "rebuild" his career. He's a Socceroo coming towards the end of his career but with plenty to offer. Extremely versatile and a good pick up for any club.

Was Lowry unwanted?

Agree re Taggart. Herd played 23 games last season in League 1.

Griffiths is a bloody handy HAL level player. Same as Taggart.

To suggest that their recruitment at HAL level is anything but impressive is ridiculous IMO

[Grimario]

Where have I said it wasn't impressive? I was only making comment regarding people going "how the **** do they fit all these stars in the salary cap?"....?

They have won the off season, easily. Will make for an interesting set up though, not a great deal of width.

[Grimario]

Also, Williams is 28. If he wasn't almost permanently injured, he would be in the prime of his career and still a good 5-8 years off the end of his career.

[BP Super Dynamos]

Bruce Djite off to Suwon FC

[matty]

chris herd's contract been terminated.....watch this space

[Grimario]

Not really. He has had difficulty with his family and relocation so they are staying in England, aren't they?

It's not like he's going to another team.

Or is he?

Strange, did his missus really not fancy a move to Perf?? Send her pics of Newcastle, it might be a bit more appealing...

[stopper2]

Saw the other day when Troisi signed for Victory that it was mentioned on SM that in season 2013/14 when he played for them he scored 12 goals and provided 9 assists....very impressive stats!

He is also 1.77m tall.
Well short of the A-League record holder (Scott Higgins) at 2.01m.

Higgins > Troisi.

Although it must be said that height is only an indicator of a players all around performance.

[plague]

The Newcastle Jets win 50% of their games when conceding 13 corners in a match.

If we go out there and concede exactly 13 corners every match we will get between 39 and 42 points which will see us fight for 6th spot.
Exactly where Miller thinks we'll be. No wonder he's a stats guru he's got it all sorted out.

[weston]

Henrique apparently wants to go back to Roar. I wouldn't be too dissapointed if we made a bid for him if that was the case.

[Jeterpool]

Nabbout and Chianese were released for him to go to Singapore. Interesting he wants out so quickly.

He's an ideal player for us to sign but the Roar would have to be nailed on favourites.
