Lots of options!

Ballard could easily take that starting spot based on those last 5 games he put in 110% and easily up there in the league.

It’s almost a shame that we have gone for Ayongo, hopefully it doesn’t deter the academy attackers to look elsewhere.

Don’t want to be like Sydney teams where the academy players swap clubs every 5 mins looking for an opportunity.

Need to keep that whole bench clear for our academy basically if we want to keep bringing in the best and moving them through and making $$$$$

If we learnt anything from last season it's that we needed players for rotation. Once we had 2-3 out by the end of the season finals got much more difficult to compete in. We do need the depth and I think Monty is addressing it. Our youth will get their shot, it's the key to our identity

 

[VonBowellski]

I know Beni is a winger primarily but I would like to give him a shot next Niz in a more central role. He has proven that he can drive hard and get through defenders, plus having his height there would be a plus when contesting goal kicks. Plus that brings Cy/Ayongo/Garang back on to the left wing.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

That makes sense to me

Yep, Matty’s impact, if any, can only be limited. Can’t bank on a fully fit Moresche playing well (if we can bank on it at all - till mid season at the earliest

 

[shipwreck]

Surely Ayongo was brought in to be a starter? I mean he would definitely be ahead of Ruhs

We don't have any academy strikers.
Well none that will make the grade anyhow

I don't think we'll see much of Cy this season. It'd be great if he's bulked a bit in the off season but there's only so much you can do. Needs to take a leaf out of Nizzy's book and toughen up, if not I think he's destined to be a sub at best.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

So should we sign an injury replacement for Moresche?

I half expected Ayongo to be that but he is on a two year deal. Would temporarily bolstering our midfield with a visa midfield enforcer next to Nisbet or Balard be a good move?

Or a more speculative (and cheap) visa centre back signing that could push Hall, Windust and who ever else we sign.

If we do we sign an injury replacement and they are successful it will be a tough decision for Monty when Moresche returns.

 

[midfielder]

WE have no visa spots left...

WE have no visa spots left

Do you count moresche tho? He won't play basically all year.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

We don't but we can sign a visa player as a injury replacement for Moresche.

 

[midfielder]

I presume we can, but how long is he expected to be out.... if he is out for the season again I assume its OK but if he is back with say 6 round to play does that make a difference ?????

I wouldn't expect to see him for 9-12m. So at best Jan/Feb at worst finals.

Did niz undergo surgery post season? Just saw on Instagram he has both ankles heavily bandaged with moon boot type brace supports…

Surely this is Balard's spot after tlast season. He was excellent.

 

[true believer]

I think ayongo will be the 10

Looks like it was him leaving hospital.

You're generally the voice of doom however on this occasion it doesn't sound good. Link?
