And Nabbout was basically an outcast at MV
for once we have an amazing turn around in form in our favour.And Nabbout was basically an outcast at MV
Mainly down to the fact he was at a club that signs players of calibre every seasonAnd Nabbout was basically an outcast at MV
Ben Kalfallah
Berisha
Troisi
Rojas
Valeri
Del Pierre
Bozanic
They constantly bringing in quality experienced players.
Not likely a young kid is going to come through and get enough sustained opportunities to succeed unless they are top shelf talent themselves
Who have the Tards really developed over the years??
Broxham??
Thomas??
Geria??
Not thinking of many others whom have come through the club

Jets youth team midfielder Antonee Burke will be on a plane to Portugal on Saturday as the first beneficiary of owner Martin Lee’s plan to develop players overseas.
Burke, 19, has signed an 18-month scholarship with the Jets and will be sent on loan to Academica until June in the Portuguese second-division, which Lee’s Ledman Group sponsors. He will play with the club’s reserve team.
“He will come back to us a better player, and it will be a great experience for him,” Jets chief executive Lawrie McKinna said.
Burke was picked in a national under-13 team and trialed once at Aston Villa, but injuries and late physical development had hampered his career until recently.
“Injuries came and I lost confidence. I just got back from a big injury at the end of 2015 and haven’t been injured since, so my confidence is high,” the Emerging Jets graduate said. “Hopefully going to Portugal can help me try to get back into one of the national teams.”
Former Roar youth winger Joe Champness, 19, will join Burke in Portugal after the Young Socceroo also signed an 18-month Jets scholarship. Another Roar youth forward, Harry Sawyer, who made his senior Jets debut against Wanderers last week, and Joeys striker Mark Moric, the son of ex-Sydney United midfielder Ante Moric, have also signed scholarships.
The Jets had hoped to play Sawyer in their youth team in the Northern NSW NPL, but he is one day too old.
The Jets have also expressed interest in signing 18-year-old Wanderers and Young Socceroos striker Mario Shabow.
Sounds alright for those kids.
Sawyer is not ready for the bigs, get him off for a while.
I just cant see Martin Lee spending any decent money outside the cap for a decent player. Marquee player/players are surely in the plans for next season if he wants the club to improve and grow
I wonder how they manage that.....?
If melbourne had a good manager. They would absolutely dominate the competition with that squad
I doubt it. Their lack of speed is being exploited and they have a marquee who is no longer a dominant force. Meanwhile, they haven't found a play-maker to replace the one they lost and their star Uruguayan striker is not getting the service he requires.
The problem is not the manager - it's the fact they don't have the right player mix.
On an individual basis sure they have good players - but as a team and with respect to value for money - they have fooked up deluxe.
I think he was talking about Victory.
For what it's worth, I think Muscat is one of the better coaches in this league.
Haha I was like berisha not a dominant force? Whaaa?
Sounds a promising move by Lee to give the kids a taste of European football, I assume he does this with Chinese kids as well?
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
Right you are, I was thinking Melb City. I agree. Muscat, like him or not is a leader. Much like Sir Alex in that players fear him and want to do well for him.

Your kidding right? Muscat has no idea. Relies on his best players using their ability and when it doesnt work or other teams change tactics mid game I.E Sydney last Thursday he has no idea and gets found out easily
I agree with you there.
You put Muscat in charge of Victory spending the minimum end of salary cap without the big $$ marquees and running a disorganised club like Jets Gypos Nix etc and see how he would go
I reckon he would really ****ing struggle.
His management career is taking over the biggest club in the country with a well developed squad on the brink of success that Ange had built and since then he has managed to jag 1 ****ing title and he most likely will end up empty this year as well
So, basically he's not a good coach because he relies on his best players to play well and because his club has more money than some others.
Take away the fact he is clearly a great motivator, his sides consistently play the best football in the league and have won multiple titles. Sure some of his success came with a squad that had a few key players brought in by Ange (Finkler and Barbarouses namely), but Ange's Victory sides were a bit underwhelming really.
Wait so there are blokes who would come here and coach us and not struggle?! Who are they and where do we find them
Venables.
A done deal except you lot drove Con out.
You deserve Jones.
Be grateful.
What has he changed since Ange took over they play the same style almost and where is he plan B. Sydney brought on ibini and started playing more direct balls in behind and muscat did nothing, add this to Sydney's defence easily handling victorys attack most of the night so where was the change in style or tactics to get around this. Put Muscat in charge of a squad like us or Mariners and he would struggle big time. Being Passionate and Fiery only gets you so far you need to combine this with football coaching smarts and tactical nous.
