mack Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Mack I dont mind discussions on Dino. Healthy discussions for the team are good.Thank you for accepting this discussion on the internet forum I created. Who would you like to see as a viable alternative to Dino as striker. Would you prefer we persevere with Dino, or give more game time to Haliti or Gibbs. Or sign up someone else and who would you sign up.Gibbs hasn't been offered a contract as yet so I think that makes the management's intentions on him as clear as the other players. He hasn't forced the management to offer him a new contract. He'd be a fringe player at any club in the A-League. I think he might develop into a better player, but he can't lead the line as our first choice. Dino's effectiveness seems to alternate, he can help but other times he's invisible, even at the 'closing down' role. A faster player would make that closing down much more effective (ie Haliti), but would reduce the ability to hold the ball via strength and going back to goal, but would play into what I feel our midfield is good at, which is ball movement and retention.

fatshlob1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 140k i have heard he is on on numerous forums..... if true he needs to go imo bring in a state league striker panni nikas,robbie younis, luka glavas or sean rooney..... could also bring them in for cheap and are proven goalscorers at state league level i dont like seeing us spend big bucks on a player who dosent really contribute to the team.... yes he loves the team but is he good enough ? 1 goal in 20+ games says it all i personally think he will be gone soon..... all our imports should be of polenz/hersi caliber Link to comment

But they are in the State League for a reason, because they arent good enough to play in the A-league. Dont get me wrong you can still find those rough diamonds and get them to a good standard but I reckon we should target proven players in the A-league or quality strikers from abroad. Can we find a better striker than Dino, I am sure we can. The guy I want isnt available next year because he is tied to the heart. I would like us to maybe try and get someone like Gameiro, Josh Kennedy, Tadic, Babalj(my pick) or even Kalmar who I believe was playing state league not too many seasons ago. Edit - I am interested to see how we go with Perkatis. Always like seeing YOUNG talented players come through even from State Leagues. Edited March 9, 2013 by Jukes01 Link to comment

My preference is for someone like Babalj because he doesnt take up a foreign spot which we might eventually lose in a couple of years. I have watched Babalj play last few matches and the guy is a f*cking gun. For those of you who cant see it, he is better than Dino. A lot better. My preference is see if we can find a young striker and keep Dino for 1 more year at least. I think he deserves it myself. Then really go after Babalj who I think would be awesome for us for 2-3 years before he was snapped up overseas at a decent club. Link to comment

The FFA might just turn around and say we are taking them off you because everyone is crying foul. I couldnt care less what they think, we were given 7 spots and thats the way it is for us. We are using 6 of them so far. Edited March 9, 2013 by Jukes01 Link to comment

Gavo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I don't mind being loyal to, and persevering with, those who put their heart and soul into the jersey.

For me, that creates a positive and supportive culture, and thus becomes an attractive option for future potential recruits. Who wants to play for a club that turns on their own? I totally agree with this statement. Our club I hope is not going to be a revolving door when it comes to players. There is not much we need to change in our squad. Gavo09 I disagree, with Hersi, Bridge and Ono, Dino's role is nothing but support.... One of his roles is to score goals, I think you will agree with that. Its not easy scoring goals as a lone striker. He supports Hersi, Bridge and Ono very well but its not his only role. Just saying. Edited March 9, 2013 by Jukes01 Link to comment
Gavo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I do agree, the lone striker role is a tough one and support is definitely not his only role, but for me, I see goals as a bonus... When I watch us play, we just seem more likely to score, when we have a lone forward with their back to goal. Link to comment
theguyyouwishyouwere Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 we've won two more games (hopefully three against the nix) than the mariners, and dino has been in our side for most of those games. if we're in the same position this time next year with dino only scoring once is that really something to complain about? if we keep winning and dino keeps missing the target that's ok with me.
