[hey shorty]

2 more imports coming, both attacking players, and one more defender according to Kovacevic. 2 imports might be a while.

All 3 will be experienced players due to the youthful nature of our squad. I didn't think it was THAT young to be honest. Starting 11 that has Gulum, Marrone, Isaias, Diawara, Absalonsen and probably Regan early on has more than enough experience.

I'm liking the look of the squad.

 

[apollo_creed]

He said two more Aussies as well.

Need to nail those IMO. We have a pretty good record with signing Visa players and young Aussies but the big name Aussies are the trouble.

 

[hey shorty]

It's looking thin in midfield but nail the Visa signings and that changes.

 

[hey shorty]

Trial game at Marden on Wednesday, Absalonsen set to debut. Baba and Gulum to suit up next week.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Any word on an Aussie signing?

 

[hey shorty]

None at all. We need to make sure they're the right ones though. Mauk looks like heading back to $$ity

Read on another forum that Victory still have another 10 players to sign. Makes us look much better.

Why on earth would he want to go back to City after he gave them so much s**t last year? Bit disappointing if true.

 

[TommyD13]

Well no Mauk now. Appears as though we will sign one of Elsey or Lia, and then probably Marino, as well as two more foreign players who will likely be wingers/midfielders. Also room for one more extra signing if that is the case depending on cap room

 

[Magma]

confused as to why mauk wouldnt come back here. less competition, and it's the place that earnt you the move. odd.

if elsey is fit and ready come round 1 then that's a no brainer. he's more than good enough. if i was marino i probably wouldn't bother though. barely got a look in when we could barely get shots on target.

 

[hey shorty]

Different coach, that might help him get a look in. Pleeeeeeeeeease don't sign Vince Lia.

As for Mauk, all about money.

 

[FAITH]

Thought wed get burns and mauk so bit of a let down.

But kovac says we are close to signing 2 fore igners, 1an attack mid the other winger

 

[hey shorty]

I reckon it's our Aussie signings that will make the difference. Not too many good ones left

Coach was impressed with lia apparently

Hmmmmmmm not sure that's a good thing

 

[ABSOLUTE MADMAN]

hey shorty is your name a reference to that Bangs guy? Your account predates him gaining online fame but there may have been a name change in that time.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Yeah no Lia please.

You're not the first person to ask !!!

But no

 

[TommyD13]

This season's expectations:
FFA Cup: Make it into the quarter finals
League: Make it into the finals series, and hopefully we finish high enough to also qualify for champions league!
I really hope a few of the youngsters can really earn some first team football this year, just like last year

 

[hey shorty]

We are bucking the trend when it comes to youth, we are well above the A League average for first team players from youth teams.

Kurz actually mentioned he wants us to be THE club that young stars want to play for and use as a stepping stone to Europe. Hence why we are training almost double what we did last off season, so as to better prepare players for higher honours.

I want to make the top 4, but we might be behind Victory, Sydney and AUFC Lite (City). Reckon it'll be a very competitive year.

As for the Cup, would take getting past Newcastle next week after last year !!!

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Have we really signed Vince Lia? Sigh.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Val seems to think so.

Meh. Was hoping our next signing was going to be an exciting one.

 

[hey shorty]

Could be a Regan type signing that isn't as bad as we initially thought. I sure hope so. He's a solid professional and he won't be starting 11, at least we actually gave the bloke a trial first so he must have done ok.

5 signings to go including Visa spots.

 

[FAITH]

Vido I think will sign too
