What happened to the Jesse Curran rumour? There were some solid sources behind it.

I think the ‘right back from Scottish league’ ended Up being Ziggy.

He is back on the coast after a holiday, has been seen with his best mate and CCU skipper Daniel Macfarlane.
Not trying to get hopes up, but, Sydney’s side is just about sorted defensively? WSW too? Jets also?...
I’m not trying to restart the rumour... but here we are.
Would be a very good signing. Would provide very good cover for Ziggy at RB or could allow Ziggy to play CB and Jesse RB.
Grew up as a centre mid not necessarily a DM. So would bring good versatility. Battle hardened from Scotland with brilliant technical qualities.

Read some supporters opinions in him. Not complementary. Certainly not like us with Hoole but of the opinion he wasnt SPL level.

Divided opinion over there. Some rated, some didn’t. Would be class here.

Paul Okon just said on the WSW Leeds coverage that he almost signed WSW’s Schwegler when he was here...
Piss weak as a manager but he has some good connections.

My opinion of Okon as a manager grew again after being subjected to Mulveyball

 

[Ozhammer]

I am hearing that in its search for a keeper, the club has its sights set a little lower than we were hoping.

Disappointing if true.

Ohhhhh dear..
Are we talking recycled Aleague disappointed or worse?

Irrespective of what else we had I really believe with a capable striker Okon’s tenure could have been very different. Not without issues but for what was a relatively tight defence a couple of goals here or there would have really had an impact on the ladder, we could have done something similar to Adelaide this year with a tough but low scoring run.
Asdrubal didn’t work out and covering him with Powell was optimistic at best. That season we could have broken our mediocre streak. Hopefully we’ve learned since then.

Glover?
Edit: will be interesting to see what we do with that final visa slot. Keeper, CB or striker would all be valid options.

Worse unfortunately.

Hoping I am proved wrong on this one but not holding my breath.

Bean spill please.

 

[Coastalraider]

Bean spill please.

I had hoped (and still hold out some hope) that management has figured out that bargain basement players in key positions nullify quality in other areas.
There is zero point of investing in players like Ziggy and the Koreans if we don’t have genuine A-League level talent in key areas like GK and Striker.

Both those roles are important but I think a keeper should be a priority if it’s between those two. It’s cliche but if you keep a clean sheet you’re guaranteed at least a point but if you’re leaking goals you can score 3 and still lose.

It sounds like we might have missed out on one of our targets if we’ve lowered our expectations for a keeper. Surely there’s an Australian or foreign keeper we could loan for a season if the current contract situation isn’t good.

 

[Ironbark]

I don't think it's cliched - we just spent a couple of seasons proving the concept and trashing our brand

Gosh I hope you are wrong Hammer?

Surely JVS must have some good connections.

Shaun

Can you comment on the keeper ...

Henderson?

 

[Tevor]

A season of Pearce perhaps. Disappointed
