+xNot a bad idea for a one-off occasion where he have so many players unavailable. I do see a lot of chat about how this is happening only because our youth development sucks blah, blah, blah but I don’t think that is fair. I think we do have a lot of talented strikers coming through but when you look at their ages most are under 20. I can definitely see a lot of these players like Mo Toure, Wood, Kuol, etc being Socceroos but they have a lot more development in them. D’Aggers, DWH and Yengi are at good ages but unfortunately D’Aggers is the only one playing regularly. DWH comes off the bench every week while the most talented of the trio by far in Kusini Yengi is made of glass and can’t get on the pitch. of all those that you mentioned i can only see Kuol having what it takes to be a decent international level striker and even then he has a LOT of development to get there. Kuol has more raw talent than Daggers, DWH, Taggart or Jmac had at that age (though Taggs probably had a bit more technical skill), at the moment i dont think any of them are anywhere near being good enough to be international level strikers. What Bruno brings is something that we have not had in a striker in a long time. a striker that is capable of holding the ball up, creating chances in the box and knows how to poach a goal.
