I think we should push it back to three so our clubs are forced to get this recruitment right and sign players who are better than we have here

I would also force us to sign an Asian player and I don't think just signing some shitty never was Japanese or Korean player should cut the mustard here

We should be forced to sign young Asian players where we are getting a skilled player but are helping them potentially move into better leagues one day

As for playing NPL standard defenders I think the problem is we need to stop recycling ALeague level players and clubs need to be encouraged to play kids

When you see Archie Goodwin playing and scoring at his age I don't for the life of me believe we do not have the youth in this country. We need to be putting the kid's in at 17 and 18 getting 60 to 100 games into them so by the time they are 20 to 21 we can send them off to Europe to play.

Right now my biggest concern this offseason is not keeping Penha but more that our Club can hang on to Thurgate from potential overseas approaches. It be good to get another season out of him before he goes overseas

The kids are good enough we just need to stop giving these shit players a chance

I would say the last 2 years of the ALeague in se ways have been the best for many a year because we are starting to reign in the excessive salaries being paid to shit players with a ridiculously high salary cap and as a result we been forced to play the Connor Metcalfe's Marco Tillios Angus Thurgates etc and not just play them but make them key players in their teams
Ok, who has taken over this account and is talking sense?
