Prydzopolis Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I thought it must be some sort of joke, hopefully they are using WSW as some sort of wage bargaining ploy. You’ve got to replace a Riera with a player of similar or better quality, not downgrade. DinoPresinger, andypk, ReticentWarrior and 3 others 6 Link to comment

hawks2767 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 O'Donovan rumour ties in to the stories I'm hearing that we aren't signing anyone big next season and are just looking at youth and offcuts from other clubs. It's like someone within WSW thinks we have too many members and don't need to win trophies. I honestly hope I'm wrong but we already have DG signed for 2 seasons so the writing is on the wall.....

I'm not too crazy about wasting a foreign spot on both O'Donovan or Schenk but if I had to pick one, it would definitely be the 27 yo centre back. We've had oir share of washed up strikers (Oriol excepted). mack, DinoPresinger and StringerBellend 3 Link to comment

Redwog Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I don't DG is a weak signing. He's a known quantity, solid player and should start most weeks. As has been said it's the visa players that will make or break our next campaign. They don't have to be 'big signings' just effective week in week out. Some good technique, a positive mentality, and injury free. If our spine is built with these kinds of players we will be in with a shout. LetsPele 1 Link to comment

Not a big fan of this thug, but he plays every week (when not suspended) & has an excellent scoring record at AL level. Provided he can be accomodated within the sombrero, I'd be willing to give him a trial. A packed & pumping Wanderland 2.0 may well stir up his competitive juices & elevate him to another level. https://www.transfermarkt.com/roy-odonovan/leistungsdaten/spieler/34629 Link to comment

mack Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 The Government changed various high level sports visas a few months ago. It's possible that if he goes onto the new visa that he could be eligible for PR straight away. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
THEWANDERERSPOST Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Roy was suspended for quite a few games and still finished this season with 11 goals in 19 games. More than Riera with 5+ more games. And he is a striker I believe players fear, kinda like Santalab, has some mongrel in him and has the mentality to win games, the mentality Babbel wants I think. If he becomes Aussie he would be a great pickup imo. matty, Smoggy and JackDoff 3 Link to comment
