Complete speculation but i reckon we resigned Kanta because Merrick knows we won't be able to sign players better this year. Now don't take that as a compliment to Kanta but a sign that Merrick is a realist and knows that although there are better players available we don't have the ability to sign them up for our club other than paying them way more than they are worth. Which is the problem when you win more spoons than games.

I reckon we will have a small and slightly improved squad next season but aren't going to be beating clubs like Adelaide, Perth and WSW to half decent players available. I think we will be signing the Shannon Cole and La Rocca's this off season and hoping for mid table next year.
Which is amazing.. Wait, i mean terrifying! Terrifying is the word I wanted.


Here's hoping Plague is correct and those Bundesliga Giants knew what they were talking about when they took a little gander at young Benjamin. Maybe he could transition into a CB in 3-5-2 and only have to spray passes to Wingbacks and Def Mid's?
