Squad Development 2019/20 Part 1


Recommended Posts

Yeh if there's one thing that could bode well for our season it's one of our imports getting FKD up a few weeks before we kick our season off. If only someone shot MB in the gut and why the fk has Pirmin not had a stroke yet? How are we supposed to stand a chance unless at least one of them suffers a serious blood clot in the brain!

Wow. This thread really has turned to quality.

Harsh on duke, played a lot of J League 1 as a foreign import (where many others failed)

Jumpei was a J League 2 player and currently on load in J League 2 

Duke is a very smart footballer, Jumpei is Jumpei 

It is also not really comparing apples with apples.  The J League is less physical and more technical and the J2 even more so players like Jumpei go well over there.  When Jumpei was allowed time on the ball with us he looked the goods as well but he wasn't given that time most games.  Duke is the opposite, he doesn't have fantastic technical ability but he works and works and is robust as well, he is more suited to the A League or Europe than the J League and the fact that he had any impact over there is massive because I think he is not suited to their game.  When he came back he instantly showed what he learnt over there was exactly what was missing from his game and stood out in a very poor WSW team, if he stays on the park and we have a decent season he could be the Johnny Warren medalist winner.

You a spot on about Duke looks to be made for the A-League  . 

I like Duke I think he is going to be good for us but honestly can’t see a Johnny Warren medalist there , if he is top 5 it’s going to be great season . 

Stringer my original comment that Duke was a J-League reject was a bit harsh  but 12 starts out of 42 games in 2018 tells the story . Also Subbed on 15 times for a total of  1 goal 3 assists .

2017 was his best season always  starting or getting subbed on but in 2016  only 3 starts and hardly made the match day squad . 

Jumpei had a very similar resume in J1 league 2013 and 2014  and his team was relegated to J2 in 2015 and then to us ( unfortunately)

Babel podcast interview was interesting talked about players in last year’s squad not wanting to work hard enough and poor attitude makes you wonder about the likes of Roly, Abj, Llorente Reira, all shipped out soon as season ended

We knew this was in the squad back in the Gombau year.
