John Maisano is the new assistant coach.
I wonder if he shares our new ultra press play style thats working so well for us.
Another that has had overseas experience. He was Kisnorboās assistant at Melbourne CFG and Troyes.
I donāt get it. What has this got to do with The Simpsons?
Oscar Zawadaās just been released from Wellington.
Wouldnāt say noā¦
Heās a great A League level striker but the injury record worries me. Iād still probably take him at the right price.
Scarcella loaned out for the last year of his contract. Iām guessing thatās the end of that.
For the 57th and last timeā¦ heās better than Priestman and we really couldāve used him up in Gosford when Hollman was out.
Figured heād have had a better shot this season with our midfield churn, Brattan and JGR moving on etc. If Uffy still canāt find a use for him then Iām gonna assume weāre going hard and spunking 2 foreign spots on CMās?
Itās a really good move. If the guy is good enough, heāll get some starts for them. And if thereās enough to justify us keeping him, we can do that.
We should be doing more of this and not just releasing them, or loaning them to some random league.
I canāt picture him getting much game time for us, especially with Segecic coming back and Bosch possibly coming in. Sending him up the coast is probably a good move for his development.
Also weirdly the author for that article is listed as being āMelissa Baumjohannā, who I believe is one of Alexās daughters. Maybe the clubās letting work experience kids run our socials/website, haha.
Genuinely though, I love our clubās track record of giving non-football opportunities to past players and their families. Really nice family/community vibe.
Has Jorritt Hendrix left the country yet?
I know heās not going around with WSW again this season but Iād take him here if heās keen to stay in Sydney.
Is Segicic definitely coming back?
Pictured in training photos today with an article.
The next generation of Dom Bossiās to write pre-Derby hit pieces are coming from in-house.
So weāve maybe got a starting midfield three of Caceres, Hollman and the rumoured foreigner. Given we need at least one of a starting #9 and LW, and a CB, I donāt think a fifth foreigner for CM is likely. Even if we back Sega to walk in and start on the wing, or for Maxi to play LW, weāre lacking for depth there other than shoehorning JCP in. Same with #9 where itās pretty much just Wood?
Is anyone else ready to follow on the Zuvela ā Devlin ā Nieuwenhoff ā Yazbek ā Girdwood-Reich ā Hollman lineage of ALM-ready central mids?
I assume that France and Lacey are more #10 than #6/#8? As was Scarcella? As are Max and Sega, ideally.
Presumably weād be looking at Middleton? Kamijo if he ever recovers from injury (back problems?)? Anyone else?
We definitely need depth in midfield, it would be the ideal situation to introduce an academy graduate or two - assuming theyāre more Adamson than de Jesus. But it looks like the kids weāve got contracted, and the kids that are playing NPL, are very young.
Lacey, Middleton and Kamijo would be it at CM, but as you hinted thereās an Adamson sized gap (ready now) that Scarcella is perfect for imo.
Scarcella is more of an 8 or dual 6, rarely seen him play as a 10 or more advanced like Max, Sega, Quintal and France. So I canāt believe that Segaās return has anything to do with Matty moving up the F3, it has to be down to Stanton being ready to give him minutes that Uffy wonāt (like Taylor and Fryer also).
Scarcella going could just be a sign that management has a plan?
Bosch and Hollman.
