    He has a really punchable face.

    Chinese marquee winger... are we talking aged fading superstar or splashing on a young prospect with resale? Or just fringe loan player?

    I doubt that's the well thought out answer Bon was looking for.
    If we can stump up marquee wages for Milligan then a bloke playing in the Championship aint out of the equatio n.

    They aint on tmas much as you think at that level

    His career is also winding down .

    I doubt we could get him anyway but i dont think he is as out of reach for HAL clubs as you make out


    I also on record on the foz suggesting Milligan well before the Jets mentioned it this week

    Don't rate Nichols, would prefer to see what else comes up. Also with Glen Moss being a Kiwi, is he a visa spot or not? If so, go cheaper locally...
    Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...

    For me the Jedinak thing isn't about the money (I also didn't suggest it was). It's about his desire to stay in Europe till the next world cup. Even at Championship level that is preferable to being involved in our rabble. Just my opinion but he is a leader, respected by his manager, 1st on the team sheet for Villa, he aint coming.

    He's got dual, apparently.

    Nichols is far and above anyone we've had at this club in years. Let's not kid ourselves. Outside of troisi I'd say he's the most creative Aussie in the comp. (obvs better ones overseas). Sign him. Solves an issue at no.10 and keeps a visa spot open

    The only person in the HAL with a more punchable face than Nichols is Hoole... But he is definitely a better attacker than we have had for the last 3-4 seasons.

    Not saying i want to sign him, but i'd be interested to know how low he would be willing to drop his wages.

    Jedinak is a wank. Walked away from the premier league to earn more coin in the Championship because he was too scared to fight for his spot. They replaced him with Flamini, whom i love, but Flamini isn't exactly the greatest midfielder to grace the premier league.
    Went to Aston Villa and only played 3/4 of the games in a team that finished closer to relegation than promotion.
    I'd rather pay Poljak peanuts than think about throwing money at Jedinak.

    What other centre backs would people rate having here? Id be happy with Baro but when you consider we have one foreign spot on someone not Chinese it makes it a bit harder

    Other bloke who might be a prospect is Robbie Kruse

    It was Merrick who dragged him from the scrapheap at Roar harnessed his talent and got him firing for Victree

    Think he was naturally a CB in NPL? Not sure, but hes built more like a CB. Similar to Mullen moving out there at times.

    Okay true, Im just going off of wiki saying he plays predominantly right back, but him being something like 6ft 3inch would make me think he's a CB. Only thing is he is a younger player, it might be better looking at someone with some more experience. Spiranovic would offer that, as would Baro.
