A step.in the right direction, but we still need a quality centre half, another right back and 2 left backs, scoring goals isn't our problem,  it's conceding them. 
We don't win anything with signing a top notch foreign central defender, Delpierre was top class, Baro wasn't, but was solid & was our stand out defender last season. 
I don't think the 3 Australian central defenders we have are good enough to win the league and less said about our right & left back options the better.

Which one? There's quiet a few Mathias sanchez's😂

assuming it's this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat%C3%ADas_S%C3%A1nchez :)

Can't see how this will be bad. We need to beef up options around the park and we're always crying for depth.

Millsy can be used literally anywhere on the park, except probably in goals or up front. You're only left with Valeri, Troisi and Brox as your natural midfielders. Brox is used everywhere also. All are aging too..

Quick wiki looks like he is a defensive mid, 29 years old, spent most of his career playing in Argentina and played for the Argentina U20 national side

Valeri wasn't injured though, he was ill.
If he and Milligan stay fit all season, what do we do then? Will this guy be happy to sit on the bench and just play as a squadie? Seems like a weird avenue to go down.


Valeri turns 33 this season
Milligan is 32 

There is just as much chance of either 1 getting injuries or slowing down as there is of them playing all season unhindered. And who knows, what if Muscat is planning on playiong millsy at the back?
The only concern I see with strengthening such an importnat position is the further stunting of Nigro's development

I disagree, midfield three of Valeri-Millsy-Troisi is great and we have Brox and Nigro to cover.
We need to focus on a left back and a winger.
Not saying it's not a good signing if true, just we should be focusing on nailing down those two spots.

well even if this Sanchez guy signs on, don't we have 2 more visa spots still available? Nothing wrong with having extra depth in the midfield I would have thought.

Maybe we're struggling to identify a Rojas replacement under the cap. 

Troisi-Berisha-Barbarouses
Milligan-New guy
Valeri
Troisi's best goal scoring season came as a winger in Turkey.

We have two guys over 30 in the most important spot on the park. 1 who missed an entire season with injury not long ago. It's a position that has killed us not having quality in.

If he is good, thaen this is a no brainer.

Exactly. Millsy and Valeri as first choice, Bronx, Nigro and Williams as back up. We need first teamers, not further back up players. Particularly need a high scoring winger to replace Rojas.

really? I thought our midfield was our weak point last season. Also, Valeri is getting on and is less likely to play out a full season when you factor in champions league. looks like a solid pick up.  

Our midfield was weak last year as we had Bozanic/Broxham in it for the season. 

With Milligan coming in, I don't see the need to sign another starting player for that position when there are obvious deficiencies elsewhere. 

Valeri whilst getting on hasn't picked up injuries while he's here yet, and Broxham is a more than capable deputy when he needs to be rested.

Possible line up for tomorrow night? 
I would like to see:
Gk: Thomas
Lb: Brox
Cb: Williams
Cb: Donachie
Rb: Geria
Cm: Valeri
Cm: Milligan
Cam: Troisi
Lw: Ingham
Rw: Kosta
St: Bes

Thats a pretty good squad, more than capable of beating Brisbanes over 35s.

Given the size of the current squad that would have to be very close to it. Perhaps Austin to start ahead of Ingham.
It will be interesting to see how KM fills the last 2 import spots. Hopefully a bit more scoring options to help the above.
We have a very solid base squad at the moment. It just needs a bit more flare.




Full  trophy cabinet (but yours looks a bit empty) !

No Choi in the line up or subs, so I think that ship has sailed. 

Brenton Speed said on the telecast last night that Choi has a broken bone in his foot 



He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Kosta with a hat trick off the bench last night, and apparently Williams also put in another great performance.
