official. Taking hearts scraps

Love you.

He isn't even scraps. He was never even worthy of Heart. This is low for the blue Mexicans.

Can't believe Heart didn't sign him.

Watch them swoop in again after we say no ;)

Don't think we need another body up front. Probably a case of if he's better than we think we might sign him up, but lets give him a chance regardless.

Good luck to him.

Hope he does get signed somewhere.

If he signs, we could see Archie move to the wing permanently.

A lot of people on here keep saying things like this and I just don't get it.

Huh, wasn't expecting this. It is between McGrath and Govas for a senior spot, as I'm pretty sure we have 2 left and one would be for the marquee.

Tards taking heart rejects.... Oh the laughs after all the shit Tard fans have given heart fans...

Good choice.

I suspect he's not that impressive.

The red Mexicans didn't even give this guy a contract, that's worse than signing 5 who at some point you considered worthy of a contract ;)

=;
Don't let facts get in the way of a good laugh at MV.

have no idea why perth haven't looked at him, they are a little light up front, especially with smeltz injured.

Maybe he just isn't that good...

I wouldn't go that far.

I think the issue at MH was that we needed a goalscorer who had results, whilst Brent McGrath is still developing his game. The International route we have taken for the striker role was also driven by commercial considerations.

He was unlucky at MH not to get a contract, and I am sure most other clubs have their own reasons why he may not be a great fit for them at this time.

Good on him if MV do sign him.

For a guy that got a soccer roos cap he might be playing in the VPL next year

He'd be a good pick up for a state league side. That's about the right level for him.

Maybe Ange backs himself as a better judge of talent than Heart, they've made plenty of recruitment mistakes before & this could be another one

A major reason being that actually most, if not all of the clubs, have already all but finalised their squads. Infact some have already. Opportunities are unfortunately limited - bar perhaps as an Injury Replacement or filling the void of a late departure/transfer to Asia or Europe (E.g. Vidosic's departure at AU)? And opportunities naturally limit even more when the squads who DO have a spot/s left to fill are seeking players who play other areas, like defenders.

This is ALSO a reason why even 'proven quality', the likes of ('ironically' - due to being a Heart 'reject') Matt Thompson can't even get an A-League gig, at the moment - not even with Phoenix! :o

He isn't mid 30's

:lol: alright Ernie Merrick

i didn't talk about us. Nix have always been just as bad a gLOLry with old players, if not worse. That's Herbert for you.

This season Ernie is changing that up, just as Edwards may out West.

:lol:

So, who are the Glory's strikers?

Smeltz (injured), Maclaren, Sidnei, Harold (minor injury), Nagai and Makeche (minor injury) are the CF's (or cover CF's.) Probably in that order of rank.

They definitely need Atleast one more striker not enough cover. Not on of them is a ten plus goals scorer.

Am wondering why McGrath is trialling at MV? Unless I'm wrong, the only way we will sign someone (apart from the marquee) is if Bru leaves. We have Govas and McGrath on trial for one "potential" spot. Marquee will take the last position, as I've been told that Mahazi has been signed to a senior contract (on twitter, make of it what you will), leaving us with just the one spot (which is why I mentioned Bru earlier).

Little surprised the Roar haven't looked at him. Would be a much better alternative to Antonio Murray imo. We need a good back-up striker.
