2016/17 Squad Thread

[StannyCFCJET]

We haven't had a debate like this since we all wanted Heskey and Bridges to play together.

That wouldve been amazing to see. Taggart + Heskey worked well together

Probably a cultural thing in some ways too, you get the sense that they love doing things on their own and in their own way, in a much broader sense than football. I think they like the independence. (This was in reply to Borat's post)

Not too fussed, if we sell him and make some money, great, but it again comes down to what we do with the money and who we replace him with. I think he's been a decent addition to the squad, still not quite sure what his level is - you see moments of brilliance and finesse from him but sometimes goes missing for 15 minutes or more at a time.

Am sure we can find some 30 + year old nobody from SA to replace him.

My argument is who replaces Ma Lei Lei at number 10 brown has been inconsistent in the attacking aspects of his game (his work rate is fantastic). Clut hasnt shown enough to make Jones start him. Hoole central is an option but we need him out wide

This is why we signed Dimi imo
A midfield 3 of Brown Poljak & Stevie or brown would be the one in a 4213 behind a front three of Hoole Nabbout & Dimi. Now Dimi isn't going to happen, imperative we sign a suitable replacement - marquee preferably.

Michael Bridges played in the Premier League you know.
He is also friends with Harry Kewell.

You think Dimi was signed to play striker?

Really!? You reckon he could have got Kewell out here to play for us instead of Heart and Victory

Can we bundle Kokko into the deal as well ? I was initially a fan of Kokko but I've not seen anything much since to suggest he's the player we need.

last night kooko was thrown to the wolves again, he came on when hoole and nabbout had empty engines, with 15 to go Broxam replaces Bozanic and victory then play two holding mids which pretty much closed our attack down, Kokko had no chance,

Jones will use this to say Kokko was lazy and doesnt offer an outlet

Not as a dedicated striker no
But definately could play better than Nobby in a fluid front 3

Didn't know where to post this. And no one will probably care. But we are seventh on the home table and eighth on the away table, but sixth on the actual table!

if we lose Hoole he may be an option...

[evanhayes5]

Kokko isnt great he has had chances to prove himself and hasnt been up to it. He cant press which as a forward in this league you must be able to do. Berisha is probably one of the best strikers in the league and probably presses the most out of all the Victory players.

From what Ive been told LeiLei really wants to leave and head back to china, he has struggled to fit into the group because of the language barrier and so on. He wasnt even meant to start in the Victory game but then Jones was forced to play him, Im guessing it was so someone from Liaoning could see him up close.

If the club needs to have chinese players on its roster, I think the best option would be to sign 2, so both at least have each other to have bantz with and all that sort of stuff which happens off the pitch.

For me it would be signing 2 full backs, Asian country's usually have good full backs who are disciplined and good 1v1 defenders.
