Yeah if its as I think and theres a monetary value on it or theyre giving a what most clubs are claiming on the loyalty then its not really a cap boost. I initially interpreted it as 400k boost on top of the cap which seemed like an artificial attempt to make the clubs successful from the get go.
The article itself mentions a 200k cap thats being potentially removed but is that being removed for a unlimited loyalty or removing the concept of the loyalty?
Hamill to WU,according to the Heraldā¦I suppose they need some left right outs.
They sure have a number of CBs now. If Rudan is taking over, they could well play 3 or 5 at the back, depending on your take on things,
Surely Calver can look at all their CBs and realise hes better off with us (I know his deal is signed and not getting out of it)
Heās head and shoulders above most, if not all, of them.
Finally announced Kurto
If were trying to fit them into a 3-4-3
Kurto
Calver Hammill Gulum
Risdon-Kone-Chapman-Pierias
Pain-McDonald-Pasquali
Bench: Delianov, Aspro, Cavallo, Yuel, Stamatelopoulos
Itās clear not all the pieces of the puzzle have been put together yet. They donāt have a left back as far as I can see. I see Pieriasā name come up a bit at left-back but I donāt see much evidence, if any, that he actually plays on the left. I donāt know what Cacaceās contract situation is but if heās coming off-contract, I can think of a lot worse options in the league for that position. They may even go for a loan option there if a good opportunity presents itself.
Yeah I list him there solely because theres no one else for it yet. With 3 visa spots too, Im sure one of those is going to a left back. Probably also another on a forward/winger which might be the other marquee too.
And whilst Ive written out a 3-4-3, Nux often played more of a 3-4-1-2 with Burgess/Singh a bit withdrawn. Pasquali probably fits that role. (that all assumes Rudan plays the same system)
Depth wise they also missing someone like a Retre as a very proven versatility man.
Iād probably pick Kone over Pasquali for the more advanced role, but I suppose Rudan could give them both a chance in that spot to see who fares better. Kone would be a far bigger goal threat, though, hence my selection.
Given how important wing backs are to Rudanās current system, and given how rare good domestic left backs are, I wouldnāt be surprised if they go a foreign LB. Alternatively, they might want to see if Gersbach is available and in need of game time.
Cacace has been very impressive this year. Hard cos he would need a visa spot. Gersbach on loan would be a great option for them.
Would be a great option for us as well
Weād be signing him as a backup for Zullo. Rather give those minutes to King.
Burgess to follow Rudan
LOL @ the savage dismantling of Wellingtonās side.
Burgess looks good but he came off the bench quite a bit til late in the season. They did well with Kurto, but thatās a 1 year deal for you. Try for another similar keeper.
If they are the only 2 players Rudan grabs, I think Phoenix can be quite pleased.
I imagine they would be keen on Krishna.
And Williams
Rudan finally to be announced tomorrow:
And because they dont have enough CBs hes wanting to bring in Durante too
