Probably comes down to a simple fact we can remove most, if not all, of his contract outside the cap so we can spend the remainder of the cap on the squad.Originally Posted by ForeverRed
So if we have 6 spots to fill and we recruit Kanta and a marquee, we have more to spend (on average) on the remaining 4 spots.

but kanta is so shit why do we keep wasting money on players that aren't good enough that means other players see our club as a joke and know they don't have to perform when they come here gypo out
Didn't say I agreed with it. Just suggesting a reason why the decision may have been made.
I suggest 1 year deal is a sign of the confidence they have.
I think they've been pretty ruthless in the cuts they've made, but there's a bit of value in the market this season and not a lot have been re-signed. There wasn't that value last year.

They arrived at the culling decision fairly fast. How long has merrick been overlooking the squad?
My post wasn't serious... I was mocking the froth at the mouth brigade who ignore all logic when discussing outside the cap signings. If the foz allowed posting in all caps, that would have made my sarcasm clearer.
As bad as Kanta has been since his injury, he actually wasn't so bad in those last 3 or 4 games he played in..
Maybe he looked alright cause of how sh!t everyone else was around him..
He's experienced in the league and would know the players, I'd think.
It's not out of character for the club to move this quick - last year the players departing was announced the day after the end of season awards. It was similar the season before.

My sarcasm detector isn't working today mate
My response can perhaps be read as snappier than it was meant to.

I'd expect any interview/conversation regarding the appointment would have included detail regarding who you would keep/let go/recruit and reasoning so the club knows the new coaches plan and they can act accordingly post appointment.
And it's good the club have acted decisively and quickly.
As opposed to the logic you are showing where you have just condoned our shit club
1 Taking up a limited spot in the 23man roster.
So that now 6 spots not 7 available for Merrick to fashion his squad. Let's not forget one is a back up keeper so it really 5
2 Have rewarded mediocrity. Kanta done nothing last season to warrant a renewal. That not me talking. That the reality. He barely played. So are they awarding it on his past non existent level of performance??
3 Justified being as shit as we possibly can be again next season by keeping the losers who get us to the bottom and keep us there. We have been shit ever since Kanta got here?? Coincidence??
But it all good your logic as this level of shite isn't costing us on the salary cap that much
It ain't a bargain just because it free
1. A signing that Merrick condoned given it happened after he arrived.
2. The whole A-league and salary cap structure rewards mediocrity. You have to have mediocre players in your squad - look at MV's bench when they lost the GF... some of those steaming turds wouldn't even make our bench, never mind starting line up. If you can do it with a player outside the cap, yay.
3. He's a squad depth player that covers multiple position and is being paid outside the cap. We've been shit since you posted on this forum. Coincidence??
And you still completely ignore the entire point that has been made every single time. Congrats on doing that. You're an expert at ignoring everyone's point.
And what is with your "English isn't my first language" posting style these days? Are you trying to come off deliberately as a mouth breathing Knights supporter?
Yes
A shit sandwich is still a shit sandwich.
It doesn't make the slightest difference to what price point you sell it for it still a shit sandwich.
He's a squad player??
We have 14 other blokes barely making it as HAL players
We don't need any more
Totally agree with the member.
Kanta is such a waste of limited squad spots available.
We have 17 signed + 1 keeper = 5 sports left.
We have Uga,Brown,Cowburn and Koutrumbis as DM. That's already 4. If Kanta re-signs makes 5. We actually need a quality starting DM eg Milligan which was mentioned so that could potentially mean 6 DM. That alone leaves only 3 spots left. We need a AM and wide players, because the only wide player remaining is Nabbout!!
Ppl saying kanta is versatile. Our CB are Boogs and Jackson. First we need a better starter, then we also have Koutrumbis and Alessi as backups.
In Summary, Kanta is wasting a much need squad spot!!
Who would you sign then?
If everyone is so sh1t, who is good?
Who will come here for fvck all?
?
Who will we get then, Member? Who would you get to make the sandwich less shit? You keep going on about bringing in better players but WHO?
