Squad Development 2017/18 Part 2

[StringerBellend]

I still love a good topper Stanley style belt it into the stands move, Ive modelled my own game on that 

[btron3000]

It’s the A-League, there are a few player types that are gonna be rare:

Defenders who can play 

Goalies good with both hands and feet

Decent strikers 

Playmakers with INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE who also produce polished finished product 

Left Backs

etc etc

[JayZko]

how da **** did we miss out on Nathan burns

[mack]

Because a fourth striker is what we need right now?

[JayZko]

He does play on the wing

[Tranquilo]

so does ferreira

But this Bangoura guy is 70 on FIFA

Just now, GrEmIoWaNdErEr said:

He was 74 on Fifa 17 and is extremely fast and is very good dribbler I'd take him in a heartbeat

Amico the difference between this guy and those guys you suggested is this guy is younger and can run around for ho the 90 while those other guys will be tired even before the 60 we need players who make a impact this guy will I can tell you now from what I seen on highlights of this bloke he is farkin good he'd humiliate defenders in this league 

Whats the comparison ro the Jets new guy?

[wswtragic]

Looks like he's getting the Popa treatment where he is - from a report in a Spanish paper about his team's training:

 

Quote

Argentine striker Oscar Trejo, Guinean winger Lass Bangoura and injured Javi Guerra and Ernesto Galán did alternative work.

This guy just as good probably better have you seen bangoura highlights also heard he went on trial with barca because when his team played barca he got man of de match apparently humiliated there defence I want him now please god I pray give him to us now  plus this guy cost 900 k so.....

Would have to be a loan deal like Nico last season then

[DeeDee]

The Covert Agent can reveal that Wanderers are keen to bring the Guinean attacker to the club, but discussions are currently complicated by wage issues.

If this line were used with any other club, the deal would probably get sorted. With us however...... pretty much means we will end up with Ryan Griffith's instead. 

 

Interesting on Marcelo Carrusca! However we need wingers, and at 34 would he even be worthwhile for the remainder of the season?

 

[DeeDee]

on Lass, apparently a new coach came in halfway through last season. Was used more as an impact player otherwise sporadic starter, scored only 1 goal. This season, new style and out of favour, played only 127 minutes and has 1 more season left on contract.

 

Was obviously a promising young player with alot of potential but has failed to push on. Only 7 career goals suggests hed probably dazzle but no end product. In the a-league worst case hed probably be another younger version of Castelan. Worth the risk???? If he can set Riera up with some quality ball and speed im willing to ignore his goal scoring qualities.

[Kangaroo]

So Carrusca to WSW?

[Stokz]

We do need a number 10.

And now as an aussie citizen uses the melling spot.

It's a tick from me.

Carrusca and this Bangoura bloke, very quality signings on paper. Given Marcelo's age though i'd be giving him a short term deal until the end of the season max. I suspect Bangoura would only be a loan but he fills the Jumpei sized gap on the wing until the off-season.

Well done u win

 

[eggs]

good signing imo

[teddies]

Yeah, look. I don't hate the guy. 

[Prydzopolis]

I’d imagine he’d take up most of the Jumpei salary freed up in the cap, hasn’t played much football which could either be good (fresh) or bad (lacking match fitness). 

Quality addition, have really struggled to play someone in that 10 role with roly in Gombau’s new system.

Sounds good

[mack]

Confirmed.

[Themumf]

He’s ace, and even at his age I think he can offer us that bit of quality to unlock defences. Big tick.
