[Zidane98]

Who decided not to sign Badolato? Should be sacked immediately.

He bailed.

 

[Zidane98]

We need to:

Terminate Jing Reecs contract
Terminate Lino loan
Terminate BJs contract
Terminate Diles contract

Sign John Aloisi as manager
Sign a Teague replacement
Sign a CF, preferably Cumdog from India.

Start being ruthless FFS

.For Jets? Lol. Major ****up by our recruitment department.

Yep we tried to keep him, he didnt want to. Pretty embarrassing.

First thing I googled when he slotted his 2nd

We didn't try very hard.

Does anyone use other Victory forums? A shame melbournevictory.net isn't around anymore.

I post on Green and Gold FC which has a Victory thread.

There are lots of good Australian players not getting minutes overseas atm.

If we wanted to booster midfield Jake Hollman, Callum Nieuwenhof and Tyrese Francois would be excellent selections.

If we wanted strikers Cummings and Maclaren may want out of the ISL which is in trouble financially. Kusini Yengi is frozen out at Aberdeen. Milanovic is also struggling for game time at Aberdeen. Piol is not getting any minutes at Salt Lake.

In defence Deng and Geria are struggling for minutes in Japan and would be good pick ups.

If we wanted GKs Bilokapic and Chapman may want a change. A loan for Hall might be good if he wanted senior minutes away from Brighton youth.

I'd also like to see us use Blooms analytics for visa signings.

Glory sacked Drilla.

Glory sacked Drilla.

Your not suggesting we hire him?

 

[6dimsims]

Watch Perth beat us this week, using the good ol' new manager bounce technique

 

[Zidane98]

Your not suggesting we hire him?

Definitely not lol.

Considering high profile managers that are available and the fact that we aren't busting the door down to give Diles an extension perhaps it's time we go down the same path and be a little ruthless.

 

[Foxman98]

Di Pietro off to ruin the bombers,

Some of their fans seem to think its a coup.....

Anthony Di Pietro joins Essendon Board

Bombers welcome new Director.

[Zidane98]

Glory are in talks with Kisnorbo lol

 

[Foxman98]

Hoping for:

Vergos
Grimaldi Jelacic
Mata
Genreau Valadon
Davidson Rawlins
Jackson Miranda
Duncan

Santos was woeful last week needs a stint on the bench Stella just ain't it think Denis a little deeper will help him let Mata play the 10 role and Denis more of an 8 with Jordi more of a 6

Wouldn't hate seeing Jelacic have a go up top as well he always seems to come inside whereas Vergos seems to always drift wide

Long story short though if we don't win tonight Arty D is under huge pressure coming into next weeks Derby

 

[Zidane98]

Squad for tonight's sicko hour game:

2. Jason DAVIDSON, 3. Adama TRAORE, 4. Lachlan JACKSON, 8. Jordi VALADON, 9. Nikolaos VERGOS, 10. Denis GENREAU, 11. Clerismario SANTOS RODRIGUES, 14. Matthew GRIMALDI, 15. Sebastian ESPOSITO, 16. Joshua INSERRA, 19. Jing REEC, 21. Roderick MIRANDA, 22. Joshua RAWLINS, 23. Keegan JELACIC, 25. Jack DUNCAN, 28. Kayne RAZMOVSKI, 29. Oliver DRAGICEVIC, 34. Xavier STELLA, 40. Jack WARSHAWSKY, 64. Juan MATA

No D'Arrigo. Nish reportedly out until after international break.


Think we will line up as:


-------------------------JD--------------------

Rawlings-----Jackson--------Miranda--------Davidson

------------Valadon-------Stella---------Genreau

------Santos----------Vergos-----------Jelacic



Warsahwsky
Adama
Inserra
Esposito
Ramzovski
Mata
Dragicevic
Grimaldi
Reec

 

[Zidane98]

We are so light on mid especially with Darrigo already missing games.

Genreau might need to start playing deeper. Would help if Mata could find his legs for the AM role.

 

[Zidane98]

We should get Chappy back to the club. Can do a job in mid and in defense. Nothing too flash, just reliable. Don't know why we didn't do more to hang on to him.

 

[netslave]

nicely put away

 

[netslave]

started off well but seem to have taken the foot off the pedal, hopefully we pull the finger out after the half.

 

[netslave]

Mata!

 

[netslave]

Any other night Vergos prob would have scored, Mata shook off some rust, could be a quality pickup if he can stay healthy.

 

[giggler99]

Mata’s first goal in blue and white

 

[Foxman98]

Midfield looked far better with Mata in over Stella,

Start Mata, Genreau and Valadon this week and swap Mata and D'Arrigo around the 60th minute mark

 

[Zidane98]

Fire up mofos. Derby week.


Looks like GA upgrade is sold out. Only Prem A/B available now.
