Are you at training every day
No, I have a job to go to, would love to be able to sit and watch but my boss wouldn't be impressed...
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
Some Footballers arnt the best trainers but come game day they shine. Maybe Kokko is of this mold. However we CANNOT afford to release or sell him without even giving him a run of games. If he steps up and bags some goals then we dont need to waste money on a striker and can spend it on a winger or CAM instead. I dont think Brown is creative enough for CAM and Clut isnt getting consistent game time
Also anyone have anymore information on Ma Lei Lei with the rumor of being sold back to china??
Hoff is a steady and generally reliable defender. He has made few mistakes this year in his defensive role.
There are some things that also need to be considered when discussing Hoff:
1. When defending he has little help from the 7 position. Hoole provides little assistance for him and often reacts after the opposition left back has gone forward and there is an overload on Hoff.
2. Hoff has rarely gone forward this season. Either on Jones' instructions or because he knows that if the ball is lost it will be on him to get back and he might well doubt Hoole's ability to assist him.
While Hoff is not the best right back in the league he is up there toward the top. If he can improve going forward and crossing then Wolfman might well be right
Agree with everything you've said
Rumours are interest has cooled

I will go as far as agreeing with a lot of what you wrote.
Last year Alivodic actually done a shit load of work tracking back and assisting Hoffman making him look good to earn a new deal.
Hoole is actually doing us a favour here by helping put Hoffman closer to being back in the NBA league when he ain't offered a new deal
Thoughts on Daniel Da Silva? Been released by Roda FC. Huge expectations on the kid
At this stage I'd prefer Clut by a long way

Yeh I don't think both could fit in the one squad
Don't know if it will matter anyway, apparently hes ear-marked to head back to Perth..
More under-the-cap magic..
They do have 2nd marquee spot open, and wunderkid DDS would probably qualify. If not him, they could probably move Keogh to marquee and DDS under the cap.
I thought DDS was headed (back?) to Roma anyway..
OK
I think there was a bit of bullshit going on in terms of who owned him. I think Roma never actually had him.
Hoff is good enough.
We have bigger problems elsewhere.
Roma bought him but never paid the first instalment of his transfer fee. So deal was void. Cheeky bastards.
Lot of names thrown around is the closest we will get to signing someone this window (my opinion)
Kokko needs the chance to prove his worth. I believe we should be looking at a 9 or 10 with brown back into the 6/8 role or he remains where he is and target another hard working midfielder
All in all with the space in the the squad free and some decent options about strengthening of the squad is needed to keep the form going
we need a winger that can cross 100% Nabbout and Hoole always cut in ALWAYS and Ma Lei Lei drifts around the field looking for a pass and lay it off.
There isn't a wide player in the league who can consistently hit accurate crosses. Old fashioned "wing play" doesn't exist anymore in this league,
Well it ****ing should and we should set about changing that
