mack Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 His stats show he's just another one of the A-League's never ending supply of generic defensive central midfielders. Link to post

Just think its weird that the club that claims to have the best youth dev in the country is buying ex victory youth when we have Baccus, O'Doherty, Grozos...and just let Sullivan go. We need experience. Fingers crossed he turns out great, but its confusing one for me. Link to post

Zakman Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Our recruitment so far - promoted players from the WSW youth team which finished 2nd last last season and rejected youth players from other teams. Would you class the squad as it is now, possibly the worst at the start of a season for WSW? Westiesarebesties and THEWANDERERSPOST 2 Link to post

We have a better claim to letting go of the best youth though...... Silvera.... sobs.. Grozos is not a-league quality. Baccus has ability but no a-league smarts to sit in midfield, grossly overated.

Probably need to take into account that most of the other squads around the league will be weakened as well. If Lesiotis is the Sullivan replacement and we will have a Covid budget Schwegler to come thats all ok. If he is starter... Link to post

Redmayne in goal, porous defence of Hamill, Borda, Cornthwaite & Neville, useless midfield of Lustica, Dimas & Pinatares and Jumpei & the 2nd coming of Bulut as the attackers paired with Mitch Nichols who suffered massive 2nd year syndrome at the club.

Similar to Sullivan but not as good. He played a heap of games and looked good I like Sullivan but I feel like he is the Idan Tal of WSW. Tal was a bench player at Everton year's ago where the less he played, the better he became in the fans minds, "get Tal on", "should have played Tal".... When finally the did play him he was average at best. Lesiotis looked good to me, I'm suprised Victory let him go. MartinTyler 1 Link to post

Get yer foriegners right and you make the finals.. have we? Lopar is awesome Muller I think will be sexual this year (2nd full season in Australia) Ziegler - if we get pre-injury Ziegler then he's great but if we get post injury one bog average Cox - I'm not sold, he's clearly a smart footballer and we looked better with him, but is he the 17+ goals a season striker we need? That miss against CIty was shocking Need to get the last one right Link to post
mack Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 We're either going to get an attacking mid leaving our central/defensive midfield withotu a Schwegler type, or we're going to get a Schwegler type and be forced to play Muller as an attacking mid again. Also we're assuming Lederer & Co are actually going to pay for a 5th foreigner. Carns 1 Link to post

Lopar Yes so glad he came back Ziegler Rubbish and more so that he is a foreigner Muller Yes but play him in his rightful position Cox Also not sure may do more with better service. That's why I tend we go for an attacking midfield player. Also I rather watch a team with the ball attacking rather than defending. WanderingToqui 1 Link to post

MathyouWSW Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'm happy with the signing of Lesiotis, he is the player that replaces Schwegler? Absolutely not. I feel he is a great replacement for Sullivan though. Link to post

hughsey Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I’m keen to see the battle of the youngsters that the aleague is most likely going to be this coming season.
