    All the talk about Barbarouses is that he'll be returning to Victory, but surely Roar, Gypos and us would all be in talks to sign him.

    Especially since Ernie was a big part of him returning to the Nix in 2016, and Kosta only seemed to start having "non-football issues" once Ernie resigned.

    Ooh a foreigner, he must be awesome. From wiki:

    Kurz won promotion to the Bundesliga for the club in 2010. The subsequent 2010–11 season was changeable and most of the time, FCK was threatened by relegation, but eventually the "Red Devils" finished a sensational seventh in the German top flight - their best finish in the bundesliga since 1998-99, when they finished fifth. 2011–12 was much worse, with Kaiserslautern occupying a relegation berth virtually all season. Therefore, Kaiserslautern parted ways with coach Kurz on 20 March 2012.On 18 December 2012, it was announced by Bundesliga side 1899 Hoffenheim that Kurz would be the new head coach for the second half of the 2012–13 season, when Hoffenheim faced the threat of relegation. Hoffenheim weren't able to emerge from the drop zone and decided to fire Kurz on 2 April 2013. Then Kurz was manager of Ingolstadt 04 between 9 June 2013[9] and 30 September 2013. He was named the head coach of Fortuna Düsseldorf on 23 December 2015. After scoring four points in seven games, Kurz was sacked on 13 March 2016.

    So he won promotion with a team, then basically struggled for the next 7 years.

    Got a team to the Bundesliga.
    Stayed in the Bundesliga finishing mid table.
    Top 2 flights in Germany shit on A league.
    Contacts and networks in a league much higher than ours.
    Name me a coach that hasn't "parted ways" or been fired.
    Just a couple of points against your argument.

    We have no need for a false 9 or one that's on far more money than his performances suggest he's worth. For an international marquee I'd hope the Jets would be looking for someone a lot better.

    I'd like to have a No. 10 that was also a threat on goal. But I'll settle for Dimi Petratos or anyone for that matter who can turn up for training without being on crutches or in a wheelchair.

    I'm probably wrong, but with the 150,000 we get from petratos could the jets theoretically use that to pay out probably a good portion of Wayne Browns contract cause I really don't see how he's fitting into our team right now

    The comments on Barbarouses were very interesting, that we have the position earmarked for someone else. Sounds quite advanced. Wonder if the reason we aren't interested or know he is headed interstate is the Austin is coming our way.

    Haha you don't think the 150k will go towards the 3mil in losses?

    IMO Brown should be given a clean slate to prove himself. He was pushed all around the park without ever really being able to play in his natural position. I am hoping a pre-season in the settled midfield position beside Ugarkovic will make all the difference.

    In so far as he will wear number 10, I expect Plague. Can be the only reason

    If Brown and Ugarkovic are our DMs next year we may as well just forget it

    Both are shit

    I thought brown was a no.10? And him and Ugarkovic partnered up isn't really the partnership I think a lot of people would be hoping for

    if Poljak aint coming back it may be our best option.
    not saying its the right option, but it might be our best.

    who knows, the mongrel component might just increase with Brown there and we all know mongrel is vital to winning.
