Not that it wouldn't have went any better if he was at any other A-League club given our current climate, but still.

Both would be really good. Just not the “bling” you guys are used to.

Fine by me. Every time Victory have gone for "bling" names it's been a disaster.

That would make MV pretty winger-heavy right? Assuming McManaman, Rojas and Kruse would all be starters.

Elvis re-signed on what looks like a one year deal.

Don't mind that. He  needs to have a good year to show why he got the contract.  Should be on minimum wage

It's Roux, one year extension.

Don't mind that. He has been serviceable.  Thought Brown would be the better  of the two when both signed .

No, he has a rocket strike, can play anywhere in midfield and is primarily a holding mid, with strong defence, similar to Skotadis of WU.

I rate Skotadis much higher. 
I don't see Lesiotis doing much for us unless he improves a lot.

I disagree.
For me, he’s exactly the robotic type of player Farina was arguing about.
He doesn’t seem to have any initiative or willingness to add different things to his game.
He’s a serviceable defensive midfielder, but nothing more.

The Vuk have not learnt anything after last season. Lesiotis was outstanding as holding or central midfield or out at right back. One of their best young players.

Lesiotis confirming he hasn't been offered a contract on his twitch stream: https://twitter.com/AleagueHub/status/1307242815529779201

Hopefully it's just a matter of waiting until they know what's happening with the cap, it would be madness to let him go.
