I am just being realistic. This club will never sign stars from other clubs and has and will always will recruit on potential. We need to find the diamonds in the rough.

Tratt was x10000 better than any of our CB's this season for the record.

Not a fan of Lia myself,but judging by Merrick's comments on recruiting "experienced heads", and that most coaches poach from their previous club, if you look at the Nix off contract then he is the one that stands out as most likely to come to Newcastle.
I am going off the quotes that says we have $$$ to spend and we have an experienced coach who can possibly recruit them. If we sign Lia and have Uga and Brown as our only starting Midfielders (Kanta and Lia are not starting midfielders for NPL let alone A League) then we will get hammered every week.

Also you say Tratt was heaps better than our CB's, that is a massive call seeing he played RB all year. He played ok in that position but it is not a role in the side that we need to fill. He may be a natural CB but he has pretty much zero A League experience playing there.
