I was referring to their claim of him not being in the matchday squad. As mentioned, it was because he was suspended. But Goal won't tell readers that.

[wanderersfanatic]

Is spira available? 

 

Perfect replacement imo

[pseudonym]

Probably can't afford Spira. Maybe use Aspro and sign Elrich?

Clisby ain't a central defender. Herd or the young boy Tass who debuted in Wellington.

Did I dream it but I think Clisby played centre back for Melbourne City against us and based on that you are quite right he can’t play centre back.

besides if risdon is still out then Clisby is playing left back

With Hammil out and aspro away not a lot of choice I’m guessing he’ll play Herd there.

Wasnt Roly a centre back in Holland? Come on gombau do it total football

Jordan Hall or Tass M from the youth team are both ball-playing centrebacks. Both better than Clisby. Wonder who Taurus rates better?

[Prydzopolis]

Cornflakes departs to pursue opportunity overseas. Wow  

Know there was the rumour that he was available to pursue other opportunities but didn’t realise it would actually happen! Or so quickly!

[StringerBellend]

Anyhow play aspro and Thwaite until the end of season with Hammil as back up 

Add the salary cap allocation onto what ever is left in the kitty (post Jumpy) to get best winger that we can afford 

we don’t have any acl, short sprint to the finals we should point all money at a decent starting XI (Arnold stylee) 

This football managing thing is easy isn’t it

We should be able to afford him if we keep losing players 😁

Also, what's the story with Risdon? Why is he not playing?

Ankle injury, playing on Friday. 

[Unlimited]

Looks like Hamill gets more gametime now

[tardotz]

These are dark times. If the captain left in Jan 3 or 4 years ago this forum would have been in meltdown. This time around it's more of oh well another one leaves.

It's part of "the process". At least we don't have players training on their own. But overall S6 feels as bad as S3. Add the SOP experience and it gets downright depressing.

Yeah but it's a new coach and we're not playing well.

It'd be a different story if players left the coach who signed them in the middle of a season where we could win. We're gonna have more turnover before things settle down.

Despite what they say, this season is a write-off. We might as well promote that kid that got game time on Wednesday and give him some experience before next year.

LOL he can't even hold on to the ball well enough for a midfielder! Roly is attacking third only. He's decent enough as a non visa winger or versatile attacker, that's it.

Surely you are taking the piss.

Aussie CBs with contracts expiring 

Wilkinson (33)

North (36)

Ryan McGowan  (28)

Matt Smith (35)

Mullen (28)

Curtis Good (24)

McGing (23)

Tongyik (21) 

Elsey (23)

 

[papersun]

Ruon Tongyik hasn't played one minute of first team football this season with City.

I've liked the look of him when he has played for them previously, Gombau would also know him from his involvement with the Olyroos, could be a possible signing..

[mack]

From that list the only players I'd consider if I were Gombau are McGowan, Tongyik & Elsey.

Curtis Good I don't know, he hasn't played a competitive league fixture since 28/2/2014 which is basically four years ago way back in season 2013/14. How do you even start to consider his ability now? I would probably call his agent at least. He couldn't hurt if we can pick him up for minimum wages, his contract expires at the end of this season I highly doubt Newcastle even care about him.

I am a bit 

But  not about trying to stack the starting XI and pushing as much as we can at foriegn winger

Good has played 3 Premier League 2 games and 2 EFL Cup games for Newcastle United this season. 

Last season it was  14 Premier League 2 games and 1 FA Cup game.

He is a left footer.

[lloydy136]

As much as i would love to see aspro succeed he has been a walking bomb scare this season and if he is going to be the starting cb for the rest of the season then the club and the coach have written it off despite what they have stated publicly.

Just to clarify "Premier League 2".

All based on Transfermarkt

[mack]

Premier League 2 is just a youth/reserve comp. Glorified training runs.

I would rather a player from a youth/reserve prem team than a youth a-league team

Western Sydney Wanderers are hoping to sign Ryan McGowan on loan to replace the recently departed Robbie Cornthwaite. It has been rumoured for a month that he was set to leave current club Al-Sharjah. [442]
