Silvera is a diamond. Worth at least $2million imho.

Maybe a rough one at present.

Not sure what you mean, $2m per contracted year IMO.

Not without some more polishing first. Singh was less than 1m and far more established as a first team player.

I think you guys are way too serious and are missing Wombats humour.

 

[turbo]

Fair enough. Been a long day and the brain has switched off.

His potential is even greater than Singh's. I really dont want to lose him. Tevor has bartered me down. Its a $1million or nothing.

Gianni was a very gifted student apparently.

I just look at all those one touch passes. There's clearly a decent information processor on those shoulders.

So Tommy is officially gone to Macarthur at the end of the season. He has served us well despite the lack of goals, he’s been a real pro and I personally greatly appreciate him and trust he’ll still perform for us till he leaves.
He is, along with DDS, our top earner. And whilst it’s arguably blow there is a massive opportunity for sta.

I would actually argue that he hasn’t been great value for CCM over his two year stint with few goals and assists to his name, so I would argue that there’d have to be other better value options out there. Yes he puts a shift in but just like DDS, he has too little end product to be a top wage earner imho.

Basically zero product is not good value.
As I've said before I really like the guy and love having him in a ccm shirt but we need our heavy hitters to be hitting a little more heavily.

I don't think he's scored any goals has he?
Maybe in a friendly, but that's it.

 

[Ozhammer]

Zero goals and zero recorded assists across both seasons, albeit that he has only played 11 games in each (so far). Might be nice if he improved on that record before he moves on eh?

Makes you wonder why McArthur went so hard for him, as his Opta stats couldn’t have made for impressive reading surely? He may turn out to be an astute signing but his replacement should surely be able to improve on Tommy’s
contribution to date.

Any winger we get needs more pace and more bulldog about them. Can we get Pain back?

His passing accuracy and crossing are top notch. They did say they are after a particular type of character as well and he comes across as a good human.
While I understand why we've been playing him at left back (Clisby weakness) it can't have been helping his decision to stay/go, assuming it wasn't already a done deal that is.

 

[turbo]

I’m not so sold on his crossing. We’re either trying it too often when it’s not on or they aren’t hitting the spaces they need to. Probably a combination of both. Doesn’t look as bad as Clisby clearing the box but he hasn’t racked up any goals or assists this season from what I can see.

I think he's doing a good job, we just don't have anyone on the end of them that can score. I am a bit surprised he hasn't put a couple in himself but he's been played out of position a fair bit and is the type of player that does well with similar quality around him. Was injured for a long time too wasn't he?

I think we'll miss him badly, especially if we don't replace him with someone of similar quality.

He’s floating them in. Bit hard to header when they are floating. Can’t get power behind them or he is over hitting way past back post. If he over hits it and we still end up picking up the ball is that considered a completed pass?
The odd one straight across goal has been to close to the keeper.

Agree he is trying hard and doing a more defensive job last couple of weeks but we need some penetration from our wingers. Cut backs drive inside etc. dare i say it like millar (the rat millAR) last season. He also is a winger turned wingback who doesn’t know how to defend

 

[neverwozza]

Yeah agree on Tommy. He is trying really hard but he seems loathe to take his man on and drive into the box which means all his crosses are from deep and ineffective. Compare his work to Cacace from the nix and Maria from the reds and he looks very pedestrian and they are both genuine left backs ie you would expect their attacking ability to be worse than a converted left winger.

Possibly fear of rejection, due to the fact they’d already been knocked back by more than a dozen other players

I think Pain would be a very very good player in this playing group. He was probably one of the few players last year that was showing the fight that this current squad has.
