Jefski Posted September 10, 2019 32 minutes ago, Wanderingbeersclub said: Ok, too much page counting and not enough baseless speculation and rumour mongering. Here's a list of strikers in the last year of their contract. 30 years or older and valued 2M or less. Also, I have seen each and every one of them getting a caramel latte at my local Gloria Jeans in the last fortnight. That many coffees would take them 6 months to make 1 FCB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THEWANDERERSPOST Posted September 10, 2019 Sign this bloke up after Ziegler gets his citizenship. https://www.transfermarkt.com/lucas-silva/profil/spieler/218118 Not sure if we need more midfielders but he would probably destroy the A-League. Rodri for me is a no. 5 goals in the 2nd Spain Division in 33 games won't cut it I feel.

A bit of both would be my uninformed opinion. There will be a percentage of the lost members who failed to run the course at Soulless but may come back, and a further percentage who will come when the results look good, but Eurosnob $ are just as good as anyone's, and the prospect of having a fairly full stadium would delight the suits. 1 Jefski reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeDee Posted September 10, 2019 Ok thinking outside the box again. Instead of our fascination with a striker signing, maybe we target an expert right wing back. Playing 532, wing backs are our new weapons, so why not bulk up there to polish up our attack and defence. - Issa Cissokho - Maxi Pereira - Or the old boy Shannon Cole!

iamwesternsydney Posted September 10, 2019 4 hours ago, DeeDee said: With a lack of quality strikers free, maybe its best to focus on wingers/second strikers as there is a few good realistic options available. With Yeboah more suited to the striker role, Mo Adam and Duke who is quality in 2 positions, perhaps more of a wide forward is more beneficial anyway to add flexibility in our tactics. Leroy George is free. Harry Novillo is another option. Both proven to rip the a-league up and provide goals and assists. And then theres still Ben Arfa Leroy George left on bad terms, bagging out the A league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
