Why not get Tom Willis who is uncontracted currently?

He will probably still remember the shit we gave him, and we would still give it to him anyway, so no I cant see wotutalkinboutwillis comin here

All this talk about Trott has got me thinking about the squad, we have lost Tommy P & Gumps and replaced with AC & AE. AC was a bench player at Victory AE was no where near the Nixs best.

AE has the potential to be the best player in the A-League, hopefully LM and the boys can get him back to his Socceroo form, but at Nixs and Fulham he was a disappointment. Up front Dylan Mac, well I hope he has improved from his NS days.

Right back still a pro maybe, is Osman right for it or better at mid, do we have a proven striker?

Maybe I am just in a poor mood, (blame lawn mowing and garden weading with hang over in cold wind) but big judgments on a number of players at the same time.

LM said we have a couple of more players to be announced and maybe some loans from the Shiefield .............. anyway back to the lawn mowing for me.

I think macca will be a big player for us this season.

Elrich will have a good year with a good work rate and a full pre-season.

Ozzy is a gun at right back. Cant see him moving from there. We have clarky to cover him. If we get another CB i dont think we will need another right back.

maybe just a centre back will suffice because I am confident that Osman could cover as a left back if anything happens to Heff. But I guess there is the case that happened last year where we ended up losing both to injury

Sash is proven ............... but we more than one ........ and someone who can create from deep with speed and runs. Maybe it will be Mattie's year, maybe Dylan, maybe with,-- Hutch, AC & AE we can shot from most mids positions as well ............. who knows but can hardly wait ............. still pre season is on soon.

sash has been the most valuable player (in terms of number of goals scored) for every a-league team he has played for.

Apparently 442 Jamie McMaster is fancying his chance at an A League return. From 442:

McMaster Eyes A-League Return

EXCLUSIVE: Jamie McMaster is hungry for another crack at the Hyundai A-League as he continues on a footballing journey that has taken him from Leeds United to Lambert Park.
After a period where he readily admits to falling out of love with football, the passion is back for the much-travelled player.

The-25-year-old attacking midfielder made an instant impact as a substitute in Sundays NSW Premier League clash between Apia Leichhardt Tigers and Sutherland Sharks.

The former Elland Road teammate of Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka slammed a shot past keeper Phillip Zabakas just seconds after entering the fray at Lambert Park. It restored the Tigers lead, the home side having earlier taken the lead with a superb free-kick from Robert Younis.

Brendan Gun hammered in a leveller before McMasters strike but a goal worthy of gracing the world stage rescued a late draw for the Sharks in a 2-2 draw.
A long range dipping strike from Predrag Bojic crashed into the Apia net via the underside of the crossbar a goal of stunning quality.

Still, it wasnt enough to wipe the smile of McMasters face as he takes his first tentative steps back on the road to professional football again.

McMaster, who had a spell with the Central Coast Mariners during season two of the A-League, wouldnt rule out a return to Gosford. But then whether its Bluetongue, the SFS, Perth or Wellington, he is ready to do a job for an A-League coach.

He told au.fourfourtwo.com: I knew I was only going to get half an hour or so in the game. Ive been out of the game for about year and a half now.

That was my first goal, my first football, since my time at the Mariners. I left and went back to England to do some travelling with my mates. Id sort of lost interest in the game there for a bit.

But Im back now and wanting to get back into it. John (Romeo) has been nice enough to get me down here and get some games and build my fitness back to where it should be.

Apia Leichhardt is great for now but McMaster wants to step up to the big stage. The A-League? For sure, for sure.

Because Ive been out of the game for that long, Ill take anywhere. Id go to the Mariners, to Sydney, Ill just go where I have to go to try and get back to where I was," he said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I honestly think he is a bit ahead of himself and the circumstances behind his release was that he didnt comply with the no dickhead policy. God I hope he doesnt come here.

I don't think he will, he's not the attacking midfielder we are looking for!

Macca had his chance and didn't take it!
