    Nah, **** that. Sick of getting old folks in. Poljak had a kid last week, sign him (her?) up. Can't be any worse than what we have.

    Couple of alternatives:

    Uskok - HAL experience, 25 and just won the NSW NPL with Sydney Utd and made round of 32 in FFA Cup.

    Cairncross - HAL experience with Sydney FC, captain of Blacktown, 26, QFs of FFA Cup and successful season in NSW NPL.

    Petar Franjic - HAL experience, 24, brother of Ivan, decent player who had a good season in VPL.

    Vrankovic - HAL experience, 23, playing for Bonnyrigg - ones of the top clubs in the NSW NPL.


    All better options than a 34 year old Iain Fyfe who's been playing NPL for 2 years imo. At that age his body is winding down and will find it much harder to re-adapt than these guys in their mid-20s who have something to prove.

    Good, then we'll be able to go out and sign Ufuk Talay.

    Excellent. Put him in the starting line up then park him.

    I like your suggestions. But whats to say these blokes haven't got good paying jobs outside of football? I can't imagine the injury waiver contract being that high? Mayb Fyfe has nothing to fall back on outside of football as he's been around for so many years. Just looking to squeeze out as much cash as he can before retirement.

    I think these blokes would be gagging for another shot at HAL.

    Your last two sentences are very good reasons NOT to sign Fyfe.

    Not just any coach... the coach of the complete failure that is our national U/20's team. He would fit right in here!

    So, how much exactly would Martin be prepared to fork out and in what position should he invest it? If Martin is open to funding a guest player, who? Personally, I would prefer a Leonardo style attacking player (without the injury cloud of course)... and Ljubo...

    The way the article reads I wouldn't say anything will really be happening player wise. It was very much a 'give us a quote about how things may improve without committing to anything' puff piece.

    Plus it would have to mean Jones would want someone else not from Adelaide, which I doubt he does.
