We'll take him at CCM. Swap for McBreen?

He really should get a go in the A-League. Only thing that may hold him back is the fact that he takes up a foriegn spot. Excellent player though and a cracking goal today.

Just so everyone knows, he isnt a striker. He plays best as a midfielder, i heard that Miron wanted an out an out striker, hence why he swapped alex for Maceo. Good luck to him, i hope gets a contract for the Phoenix....after Sunday. :D

He's like Cahill, best behind the strikers rather then an 'out an out' striker.

He played his best match for us in preseason v Broadbeach when he played in midfield.

Both your clubs should be looking to secure his services. Would look great at the Mariners, in my opinion.

I was very very impressed by this guy a few weeks ago when Olympic beat Sydney FC in a trial.He scored two long range goals (one was disallowed but was clearly a goal), and now he's backed it up again & scored in the same style in the Final. This guy definetly deserves a crack at the A-League.

If Miron wanted a striker then why did he sign him in the first place?

He would be a good fit four either the Jets or the Phoenix, I hope he does get a contract in either case, sounds like he deserves it!

Goal scoring efforts. Great record but didnt produce up here because of injury and stuff.

Great to see a 10k crowd at a NSWPL match (probably be even bigger when they fiddle the figures on wikipedia), just a shame that the moronic Sydney Olympic fans will use this as proof they belong in the A-League.

Newcastle could use Smith, they have foreign spots left.

It looks like it was an awesome day. 10,000 crowd for a state league grand final is awesome. It would have to be the biggest for a state league grand final since they bought in national competition in 1977. This doesn't prove that Olympic or Syndey United belong in the A league but it shows that the interest is still their for those sorts of clubs and that they can present a case for joining the A league one day.

I hope we (Nix) sign him too. Even if he is an attacking mid I don't rate what we currently have except for Ifill (too early to tell on Sanchez).
