cheers bloke xox

Alright kiddies, lets cool the F out before le mods arrive.

Victory, congratulations on once again raiding the Brisbane Roar. He's your problem now

Roar lads, keep calm and never drink alone. No one person is bigger than the club. I'm very tempted to go to this Fridays game to go the Post Game Function and listen to Mike Mulvey.

 

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

Don't feed the troll Dom

Last thing we need to do is give every other club more motivation to give us shit in our own thead

Another sloppy seconds for melbourne

Not sure what you are getting at there?

But do the names Theo, Ferrera, Davies and Mulvey mean anything to you?

All of them came to Brisbane via Melbourne Victory mate

Compared to whats gone to melbourne it's been a fair poaching display. Nichols, Kruse, Berisha, Geria then Kosta through a club between.

 

[polo9]

Nichols is now in the J-League.
Kruse is now playing in German and one of the best Australians atm.
Ange is now coaching the national team.
Geria is now rated as a really good defender in the league and will continue to improve.
Kosta is in his early days here but i'm sure he won't end up like Davies has for you.

why would anyone want to go to the Roar when you can come to us and move on to bigger and better things??

Only responding to the "sloppy seconds" call, and demonstrating that it hasn't all been one way traffic

Because Ange did so much at Melbourne. Victory have pathetic scouting, their young kids are shit so they lurk at other successful clubs for players.

by all means go to Melbourne, that will get you to barcelona, just look at the display against wellington, they could be really good water boys

 

[polo9]

lolz, didn't even have berisha against your mob and pumped you 3-0 at your home stadium. MV aren't a threat and they wont be next year, berisha thrives off team mates who can pass. what Melbourne did against us was hilarious. Couldn't even land a 5m pass with out turning it over so I can sense a goal drought for the angry Albanian next year.

we will sign players for next year to suit Berisha

also is it true you are going back to sign Solorazno?

Muscat doesn't have the brains to get clever players, he just goes for the big name players with reputation, doesn't always work

 

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

Solorzano has been training with the Roar squad. He has been given one week to prove his worth to the Roar.

Right, moving on then. Roar supporters, an ideas for potential transfer targets or do we look to our youth?

lol our kids are shit? is that why we won the youth league last year?

every young kid at an a-league club has come from a state league club you imbecile. so are you taking people off other successful clubs?

although now that you mention it, in a few years time we will have our own academy so we'll be creating little messi's and xavi's in no time

Smeltz rumored, but we would only lose him to Melbourne the year after

 

[polo9]

no he goes for players that will improve the squad

 

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

Yeah, I've been hearing Smeltz as well. I'm undecided on him as a supporter.

Polo, time to run along chappy. A few of us are obviously hurting at the moment (No doubtly, to the Victories delight). I think your overstaying your welcome in the Roar thread atm

Lets move on quickly from this. He's gone. Nothing we can do about it. We can be bitter and angry or we can move on, confident in our season ahead and knowing that no player is bigger than the club.

Let the Vic fans be Vic fans.

We're Brisbane boys, up in the den!
We're Brisbane boys, until we're dead!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

how has rogic and berisha not improved it

 

[Big Sauce 21]

how has rogic and berisha not improved it

Berisha is a big name player with the reputation as I stated and Rogic wont even be there when Berisha rocks up

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Mulvey said he had no regrets over opting for German midfielder Thomas Broich over Berisha as its international marquee player.
"I would struggle to find a better quality player in the league," he said of Broich.

Sneaky little dig from mike

*Yawn*

I highly suggest that Roar supporters skip over the garbage from the Victory trolls over the last couple of pages and don't bother feeding them. Reality was that we were always going to struggle to find enough room in the salary cap to keep Bes.He's looking after whats best for hi family and you can't really begrudge him that.

Its not the end of the world. Now we've got the search for a replacement for next season. The way I see it, is that we currently have around 450k (Bes's current wages + Pay Cut Stefanutto took) to play with and three to four different options.

Solorzano - currently trialling at the Roar. Would probably be cheap and has a proven record of scoring for us with that season he played with us . Hasn't really done well recently. Also takes up a visa spot.

Smeltz - We've been linked with him and he supposedly wants to move back to the Gold Coast. Mulvey was with Gold Coast while Smeltz was there and his goal record is proven. Would probably take up most of the cash we have available, but at the same time wouldn't cost us a visa spot. Would most likely not be able to press to the same level as Bes, but at the same time has the ability to score from distance where Bes was unable to. He has a proven record, but is 33 at the beginning of next season and there is the question over his durability.

Petratos and backing youth in - Has shown the signs lately that he can play that role. Good finisher and already under longish contract. Most likely not on high wages.

Another option is that we go overseas for another striker - very risky as they can be very hit and miss. We hit the goldmine with Bes but there is also a track record of a lot of failures in the a-league.

At this stage, I prefer the proven commodity in Smeltz, with perhaps signing Solorzano as a backup if we can fit him in.

Reality is that this is not the end of the world as while Bes was a very important member of the team, he is replaceable. Roar made a conscious decision that we value Broich more then Berisha when we signed him on a long term contract as a marquee. We also know for a fact that we can score goals without Berisha.

 

[Boro]

Of course it's a pity Bes won't be with us next year but oh well…another player just as good will be found and as in the majority of cases Bes will probably find things aren't quite as good at another club. You can't be angry at him though when the difference in wages is supposedly over 3 times the difference.

It's funny seeing some Victory trolls in our thread though. Wanting to have our coach and all our players is the sincerest form of flattery I guess. Hasn't been that successful yet though has it

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

This really should be the time we both bury the hatchet and united against a greater enemy.

What's the problem with clubs recruiting big name players with reputations? Berisha was a Brisbane hero up until a couple of days ago. Doesn't take long to turn on your own does it
