Is this a new game?
You've left it a bit late to release it this close to Christmas.

Where's Dylan Fox?

There was a rumour of an attitude issue after being dropped.

The general evidence does fit this. But could be wrong.

Some players are not very bright and a lot are really badly advised. Given the shambles that was CCM last season any better offer (not hard) would seem very attractive.
Fox's experiences at Nix showed that Rudan favours very experienced CB's over young hopefuls - Aspro missed that signal.
At his age he needs to be playing. We would have almost guaranteed that for him and as Mick said, he would be close to Captain material.
I'd be chucking a lot of money at Wales if I was CCM, now that he has bulked up and been properly coached at City, he will be in demand by all the NSW clubs I'd suspect. Staj might just get him to the next level.
Also, Trent is free for next season isnt he? Another one who will be a bench player at SFC as they sign marquees

 

[jacobsfl]

Fox - don't live in Gosford anymore, didn't know what happened. Disappointing if that's the case.
Wales - Meh. Depends really. I'd favour Silvera but I'm not sure, is he still a wide-out?
Aspro - yeah, looked good for us. Shame really as he was someone I really wanted to retain.

Trent re signed with South Coast Mariners during last week

Few clubs tightening their pantry doors as Macarthur cones sniffing around.

Can someone please lock Duric in ours ASAP.

 

[Wombat]

Would have been nice to have Tommy H this year alongside Duric. Probably in the top 3 if Mike had invested wisely.

Without a striker it doesnt matter who he had signed. Jair will make or break our season imho

Spoke to a ‘source’ last night and can confirm that some movement is likely in the January window, although I got the impression that departures would need to happen to allow for any new faces, so no new money by the looks of it.

I am hearing that the club may not be as keen to re-sign Milan as we fans are, which is disappointing if true.

Was told that Anton thinks he is too old

Shaun did mention there could be some movement in January on the radio the other night.

Any mention of Fox last night?

Yet our senior striker until we landed Jair will be 34 very soon. Weird.
I'd be quite happy to extend Duric's stay but if someone else is giving him an offer that we feel is above his market value or what we can afford to invest in him then he can be replaced with smart recruiting.
IMO the most important player to retain if we can is Birighitti, firstly because he's been great, secondly because it means we dont need to use a visa slot on a keeper. Beyond him then we look towards Kim, Duric and Oar if we're comfortable with their wages and any other competing offers. Nisbet would be good to lock in on a senior contract to avoid someone stealing him away.

I think I heard Ziggy was on a 1+1 deal so decent chance we'll see an extension there. Other than that there's a bunch of non core players off contract we can either extend or replace.

 

[Insertnamehere]

For me re-sign.
Birra
Djuric
Kim
Ziggy
Miller
Nizzy

Imo oar is expendable. He's ok as a winger but lacks penetration like pain had. So he's more a 10 and we have heaps of guys at 10, esp niz....
Wait and see on Jair.
Who knows about Roberts?

 

[FFC Mariner]

I think we have other problems to fix before Milan
We need proper cover at LB and a quality experienced centre back

Very hard to argue with this. Maybe if Mile and Wilko or equivalent were in our defence, we’d start getting clean sheets and have several more draw and a few more wins, but without a sharp end....

And now we’ll have to pay the price of players coming in late who don’t know each other and won’t be game fit.

Mind you Jair did well fitness wise for someone who hadn’t played yet I thought.

Word was we were looking at Strain which would likely mean Ziggy moving permanently in to CB if he extends. LB cover is critical though as you say, we can't be so dependent on Clisby being in form and fit.

Isn’t playing like he’s too old, chalk and cheese with McGlinchey

Agree except we don’t need cover. We need a starting LB. Clisby’s going backwards as a player. Will never be good enough. Rose pulling shirts in his year too many was still better. Develop Hatch fast or we have to spend.
