At least half of these really do need to be locked in for 2 more seasons and they're isn't anyone on the list I'd like to go. Not so sure about Sozer but that's more my ignorance than a well formed opinion. If Vuka retires is he worthy or would we bring someone else in?

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Some tough decisions for Monty and Sergio to make.

4 keepers on the list. Danny, Sozer, Pavlesic and we have signed Warshawsky. The two younger ones are both highly rated but are only 17 and 19

Good point I saw made on another site. Cumdingo has been proven to be a greater marquee value than Nani and many others that FFA have contributed to, so why don't the help to keep him here?

@Shaun Mielekamp have the club thought to ask FFA for money to contribute to Jason's wages and keep him here?

 

[Ironbark]

Love it. He's a great ambassador for the league and promotion for the comp at all levels which is also what they want out of a marquee. Would make a lot of sense. Shame the new corrupt management is pulling the strings, they'll give us nothing. Worth a shot though

 

[Coastalraider]

Easily the most marketable player in the comp. On all the promos, Socceroo, character and always up for an interview or story.

Compare that with the 2 million dollar man who pissed off home as soon as he got injured, after providing bugger all, and it’s fairly easy to see who would get a better return for the comp.

But alas, he doesn’t play for a big club.

 

[Melange]

These are from the neutrals I mentioned

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Miguel Di Pizio, Anthony Pavlesic and Andre Parkes are included in this squad:

 

[midfielder]

Tulio, Moresch, Nkololo, Kaltak, McGarry, Storm is that six overseas players we have...

Agree we need to sign Tulio....

Storm isn’t an overseas player.

 

[Corsair]

Storm isn’t an overseas player.

I thought he was a visa being a kiwi?

 

[turbo]

Aus and NZ background afaik

 

[pjennings]

Born in Cape Town

 

[Michael]

We can only have 5 foreigns (storm is local as has been mentioned)

So we probably shouldn’t be expecting any foreign arrivals unless Tulio doesn’t extend or one gets sold.

Honestly given how well the boys have done this season I guess it’s a case of trying to hold onto the entire squad and Monty will probably have to be quite reactionary in the off season. He’s no doubt got a list of potential targets to go for if/when players move on.

I agree with Grem but one of those isn't like the others. Veart is not a marquee coach.

 

[Ironbark]

Would you? Not so long ago I'd have leaped at the chance, but not as sure these days

Can't see him coming here for a bench spot and you couldn't in good faith bench either Niz or Maxi after their respective seasons.

 

[booney]

I have always been a fan of Rogic but would he be able to fit in and play Montyball which favours quick ball movemnt particularly out to the wings and high pressing.
