Who's gone from that lot (this years squad) and who have we signed?

 

[Redline]

We've signed no-one as far as I know.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Expect to see a player signed soonish

Costanzo played for the Adelaide yoof today and was cheered off by their squad and went over to their fans.

Off maybe?

 

[Razorback]

Doesn't mean he's coming here. I read somewhere that the jets are chasing him too!

 

[northernspirit]

f**ks sake
we need to sign some players - another loss tonight

wont have osman and probably nash

 

[David Votoupal]

I still think Costanzo would be a most ideal signing. He has ACL experience plus would bring quality to the defence that has been woefully lacking this season.

I agree for the ACL, if he goes alright then we offer him a 1 year contract. I still think our problems are in the midfield.

 

[Jocwa08]

is there any news of any signings in the near or even distant future ??

 

[morrijo]

Would like to see stringers given a new contract His height will be an advantage in ACL.

We have missed Sasho the last few games . I reckon he weould have snuffed a few goals last few games.

Apparently will move anywhere for a 2 year deal

Now Kwasnik when is he off contract he as clumsy but could score goals.

Owens did have a bit of a spark when he came on.

Bogard could fill Mile position well i think.

Was Very dissapointed with Caceras last night . Even in the warm up before the game could not even pot one.

I wish our guys would back themselves to shoot and not try and get to the 6 yard box and stuff it.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Agree, Caceres has been pretty poor for the last few games.

The definitive Kwassie comment too.

Looked really unfit when he came on against MV. Really bulked up.

 

[morrijo]

Kwassie was my sons fav player.

Dont think the move for in has worked out.

would not mind seeing him back

 

[bay5_mariner]

Why won't the club offer Petrovski a 2 yr deal? Our leading goal scorer of 07/08, and has found the back of the net a few times this year - what strikers are paid to do!

Looking at his stats, he has scored the same number of goals in the two seasons with us that he did with the two years at Bling - 14 goals

With the exception of Matty, he'd be our next 'accurate' striker, but that doesn't say much at the moment.

Slowly losing patience with Mrjda. After last nights efforts, forgot he actutally had team mates to pass to. On one occassion, Porter was unmarked with an easy 10 metres of space.

Caceres....what does he have to do to get it in the net??? It seems as though he can create something from nothing in the midfield, and has pace; but when it comes to goal..geez!!

Does anyone know what the contract state is of O'Grady? Did last night earn him another season? (if he's up for renewal??)

Just my opinion

 

[FFC Mariner]

I suppose that Stringers contract will depend on who we can get who is better?

No one in Yoof really stands out as being ready for the HAL (yet) apart from possibly Sherlock but I'd say he needs another season in NSWPL and then yoof.

If we cant get a better option, give him a year.

Is he capable of becoming the nasty mongrel we need at the back?

 

[Jesus]

We just never wanted to shoot last night. Passed it way too many times when we needed to have a go.

I doubt stringers will get a new gig. I cant see him breaking into the starting line up ahead of wilko pedj and boogs. As well i think costanzo would be a better option

 

[midfielder]

Does anyone have any knowledge about Shane Huke, he apparently wants to come back to Australia maybe Jedis replacement.

[dibo]

i'd say league two is a bit below the a-league's standard generally, though when you're caught in a pinch...

 

[FFC Mariner]

*cough* Pedj

 

[Andy]

Shane Smeltz, who scored only 2 goals in the Conference?

Meaning is he worth a trial ... the cost of a plan ticket home ... no idea TBH, but as Dibo said "when you're caught in a pinch" just seems to me with his size and age he could be a possible answer.
