Since McGree is becoming the stand out player this year in the ALeague I can see him moving on to a european side next year and becoming a great player but where does he fit into the Socceroos line up? 

I think he could perhaps be a role player and slot into that Irvine kind of role when he played AMC. Like Irvine he is not a typical number 10. But funnily enough Arnold's sides have generally looked better when stuck with less creativity on the park and more of a disciplined/create pressure and convert efficiently type of style. If that makes sense haha. 

I think if he keeps on progressing, he could make that spot his and benefit from a player like Arzani out wide who will demand the ball, and blistering speed of Boyle on the other. 

I see him more as a goal scoring box to box midfielder than attacking midfielder. He could play alongside Mooy or sub on for Mooy depending on the opponent or tactics.

In the hole so he can repeatedly attack the box with his penetrating movements.

I dont watch much of Adelaide is Mcgree a genuine talent who could play in the EPL or is he more an industrious type of player like Irvine who runs around a lot and occasionally pops up to score a few goals?

not an area we need to desperately improve... better off letting him grow up abit... its clear his issue at Brugge wasn't his talent but a mentality thing.... they play youngsters regularly... looks at Charles De Ketelaere.

I have been surprised by his creativity this year. Yes, very industrious (good word) but has that bit extra over someone like Irvine. May lack in heading ability vis a vis Irvine, but that can be addressed, as we have seen with Maclaren. Roar supporter if you haven't seen my posts.

I don't he will be considered until the next round of qualifiers. He has the Olympics in July - August 2020 if we qualify.

He works well when he is joined by mutilple players in the box and can work collectively to unlock the hole 

Could he play a defensive midfield spot for the Socceroos making great runs into the box and rocket kicks outside?

if Europe can convert him to more a defensive mid with attacking qualities it would be the defensive mid we are looking for!!

And Ikonomidis is another one to fit Into the forward 3! 

Hard to see Ikon making it in with players like Hrustic, Mabil, Leckie, Boyle, Arzani and Borrello. 
He needs to make the next step up. 


I don't think this would work. Needs to be higher up. We need a player next to Mooy that takes a load off his shoulders in possession. Wouldn't mind seeing O'neil get a shot alongside Mooy against Nepal or Chinese Taipei.

I would say nowhere for the next 9 months!

Pretty much. 

Which O'neil?

IMO its a battle between Ikon, Mabil and Arzani for the starting roles in wide areas. Ikon scores more goals than the other two.

Hrustic is probably next in line while the other 3 need to re discover their club form to genuinely challenge

Matthew Leckie, 28 years old, 63 caps for Socceroos says hello.

Brandon

Where is Ikon scoring ? I must have missed that

Scored 9 from 18 league games last season and had 2 goals so far this season.

I look forward to seeing him play for the Olyroo's .

I think either as an advanced No.10 where he forward runs into the box would be dangerous along with his ability to score with his left foot OR as a No.8 with a playmaker next to him.

I like to see try his luck in Holland where they can teach him good movement off the ball like they did Holman as he reminds me of him when he was younger.

probably on the bench or in the youth team

Ikon better than Borello. McGree better than Borello.

Will need to keep the form up in a stronger league before he has any genuine claim to a squad spot. Unfortunately for Mcgree midfield is the one place we have plenty of options.

I genuinely hope he gets chosen for a Socceroos squad at the end of his ban. Really don't want Amini or Luongo there yet again.

This^ ppl just spouting borello based on "oh but hes playing in top 5". So did Richard garcia....

Dont get the luongo hate on here... guy was best player in his championship side last 2 yrs and has started dominating with his new team 

McGree is just amother reason why Irvine and leckie need to be converted to CF and right back respectively. We just have so many options now at CM, AM, and Wing. I think both those guys could be top international standard in those positions
