I maintain that Holman would do just fine over here.

+1.
he would carve in the a-league.

I know the reason doig is here is because of his injury past but he is good and as i have said before make him captain and I think pride will keep him on the field, oh and a permanent massage therapist.

There is a nice 5 minute interview with Arnold on the World Game website.

Loved the bit about needing 'workers and artists'. Exactly the type of balance we need and have lacked for the last 2 seasons.

All positive signs (except no million dollar marquee). Looking forward to seeing if the signings match the rhetoric 

 

[Roy Law]

Don't care how good he is, Doig's no good if he isn't able to play. If he had been able to come close to honouring his contractual commitment to the club we would have been in the finals but if he can only play half a season because of soft tissue injuries then pride should tell him he should back his bags and go home to the UK. We haven't the time or the money for passengers.

See, it worries me when you say these things, 'cause you're one of those sorts that knows stuff - say it ain't so??

 

[Jimmy]

Why are they training? We don't have a competitive match until July at least. I would have thought the players might be due a break?

Well he's not going to have long to look at the players after the world cup, might as well start now.
