RedBlackOle Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So Honda to Melbourne Victory seems like it's really on. Why is this not us? There may be reasonable explanations - i.e. they have Berisha cash ready to be reinvested, they are playing ACL - but I wanted Keisuke, dammit! Link to comment

Dead cert, bit like the Eels except they have been in a holding pattern for 30 years..Even with the new German I have very limited expectations this season.

They just brought a former German international (as player) and bundesliga manager in, that’s not a holding pattern. Nor was the money they lashed on Cejudo and Reira. if they had appointed Okon (or tolerated another season of process) that would have been a holding pattern Edited July 23, 2018 by StringerBellend DinoPresinger, BoyFromTheWest, sonar and 6 others 9 Link to comment

We will get a better idea of where we are and the style of play the new manager will employ when we play the FFA Cup in Darwin.Basically a wait and see thing. I'm not too upset we have conceded goals in trials or haven't made any "big name " signings. If whoever they buy ( if anyone at all ) perform on the pitch then that is what you want. (Without wanting to rehash old debates, my biggest bugbear from last season was the lack of intensity and passion at times from the players.)

So far they have had a couple of glorified training sessions behind close doors so who the hell knows, as for no big name signings it’s still July I doubt we’ll see the big foreign signings for a few more weeks. sonar, EmMac and Prydzopolis 3 Link to comment

OK, well names are a good start but I think we also need to consider other things - like if they have good or crap hair and hotness of WAGs.
