I know it won't happen...but if Robinson wanted someone cheap and could probably hit them in the back of the net, this guy would be a good option: https://www.transfermarkt.com/christian-santos/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/50487

Looks good to be honest, somewhat realistic and affordable.

He is a striker as well unlike Sims who is a winger.

I would be pretty happy with this, although as you say, its not gonna happen.

I'm not so convinced although I do like the Tevez suggestion. He'd still be alright for one good season

Yep, total opposite for me.

Tevez signing is another disaster waiting to happen.

Plus the teams that sign the big name players usually never go on to do well (Del Piero, Honda, Meier etc).

Tevez 

There's no way Lederer will deal with his slimeball agent.

Now we pick up the stragglers that didn’t get a contract. Plenty of good choices available.

YES !!  HOW GOOD !!

 

Please tell me it's true

[GD07]

I was thinking more about those 3 import spots we’ve got. 

[Paul01]

Perhaps with Socceroos games over, Father's day over and the European transfer window closed, we might see some signings

If we do sign more foreign players it needs to be asap because they won't be able to train with the team until just a few weeks before the season starts.

Victor Sanchez departed WU due to COVID restrictions and all that. I wonder, with the lockdown we are in, if this is turning foreign players away from playing here? 

[Keithie]

Big lose for Western United , Diamanti may be next

Probably this.

But, if some are willing to actually play football, they would be willing to be signed to be signed to any A-League club.

[wswnick]

So Antonis and Petratos don't appear to have arrived yet, not promising for any visa signings we may make to arrive before season start

[coachcarter]

Maybe they live in lockdown areas, same as the young fullback.

Definitely. With the way some of the state premiers are about borders, it’s inevitable there is going to be some form of hub/extended time on the road for certain teams even if the season starts when scheduled to. I doubt they are going to afford/get permission to bring families along. 

Considering what Dorrans said a few weeks ago about struggling to settle his family, it makes it even harder if the player then has to leave them on their own for an indefinite period.

Carl Robinson speaking on the ESPN Beyond The Lead Podcast: "We will bring, ideally, 1 or 2 attacking players still in that front area of the pitch. We've got to see how something else plays out. We're dealing with one scenario at the moment in the team, which is a positive one. We'll see how that one plays out."

Doesn't want to rush to complete the squad now due to uncertainty of when the season will start.

Father's day is a big factor?

I'd like to see where these attacking players will come from

We should be (ab)using them too.
