+x+x+x+x+xI mean you could argue that hes a similar age to when Berisha came across but has a better goal scoring record than Berisha had. Berishas best season before Roar was 11 in 32 in Denmark and the season before he signed he had 2 in 28 in 2.Bundesliga This was my first thought too. Not to say that he will be a success, but his record isn't disqualifying. It'd really just be down to how he adapts and if the rest of the signings are any good. If he does sign I'll be optimistic but hold off from judging until he gets out on the field. He plays in League Two. A League One player would be bad enough but League Two... Lets not pretend like the Aleague quality is better than it really is, if anything the overall quality of the league has gone down in years. Secondly i thought people would have learned by now it doesnt matter what league or previous team a new player comes from, it has been proven time and time again. No one knows how well a player will perform in the aleague, Odonovon came from the Singapore league........... Before that League two.... Most people on here consider it to be League One level and most A-League sides have improved from last season. "Secondly i thought people would have learned by now it doesnt matter what league or previous team a new player comes from, it has been proven time and time again." Sometimes that is the case but sometimes it isn't.

This comment just reflects the lack of football maturity in this country.

Maybe thats one of the things Fowler will bring - knowledge of some rough diamonds in England’s lower leagues, we’ve all been focussing on LFC/Sturrage when in reality maybe we should be looking at Bury, Bolton and Tranmere for our next players??

+x+xSeeing au play at the moment makes me think of such a miss opportunity for not getting kurz. He would have been great for a clean out and getting the players to give all for the club. Because we didn’t get enough of Ross Aloisi telling the crowd/4th official/assistants/referee/anyone in ear shot to “F*#% Off” loudly during games?? 😬 JA would have been proud of the way Marco blamed the officials for his players being unable to take penalties.

I know the medical staff that do this stuff but they’re professional enough not to give details .... but mean enough to tantalise me. My guess would be first signings will be australian based players

+x+x+x+x+xRegardless of who we sign and what league/level they play at, we need to have faith that our new coaching staff will have done their due diligence and will have seen something that has shown them they are worth signing. Agreed. Agreed +1. Not something I’ve felt confident about since Ange left though lol. :laugh: Very true. I am less concerned with ability at this point, we really need to focus on availability, injuries to key players and visa players have really hurt us last 2 seasons. I hope we sign players that are durable and have high levels of natural fitness, I hope our medical staff and coaching staff have a long had look at themselves (can't blame facilities anymore) Maybe the roar should look at what the broncos are doing in strength and conditioning, as some EPL clubs are using the broncos methods.

Fitness was poor full stop (although the kids seemed fitter than the seniors). Injuries I’m less concerned about because I think we signed injuries and most were explainable eg Holman - knee; DeVere - knees and O’Toole - broken leg (not fitness) i think we then then had some mental/attitude issues with some of the players TK and Mikklesen spring to mind.

+xBradden Inman to Roar? Just had his contract in the UK terminated ...? Based solely on stats, he does seem to be able to score a few from midfield, which is something we are definitely lacking. Still only 27 as well. He'd be a decent signing imo. Could also be headed to Western?

I suspect we’ll have a largely Australian/UK & Ireland squad next season so this guy fits.

+xBradden Inman to Roar? Just had his contract in the UK terminated ...? he seems like a player that never quite lived up to his reputation, but has racked up the appearances in league 1. he doesnt seem to have been a stand out in league 1 hopefully he has something to prove if the club signs him.

Didn't they also change the strength and conditioning coach as well a season or two ago? I'm struggling to think of a positive aspect that was left by John and Ross.

Agreed. Agreed +1. Not something I’ve felt confident about since Ange left though lol. :laugh: Very true. I am less concerned with ability at this point, we really need to focus on availability, injuries to key players and visa players have really hurt us last 2 seasons. I hope we sign players that are durable and have high levels of natural fitness, I hope our medical staff and coaching staff have a long had look at themselves (can't blame facilities anymore) Maybe the roar should look at what the broncos are doing in strength and conditioning, as some EPL clubs are using the broncos methods. The strength and conditioning at the Roar has been woeful for some time. Way too many injuries and the players couldn't run out a game. It’s inexplicable after last seasons dramas. Fitness was poor full stop (although the kids seemed fitter than the seniors). Injuries I’m less concerned about because I think we signed injuries and most were explainable eg Holman - knee; DeVere - knees and O’Toole - broken leg (not fitness) i think we then then had some mental/attitude issues with some of the players TK and Mikklesen spring to mind. Didn't they also change the strength and conditioning coach as well a season or two ago? I'm struggling to think of a positive aspect that was left by John and Ross. I thought we lost a world class strength and conditioning coach, picked up someone else, went through a season of fitness hell when we also had the off field dramas, then got a decent strength and fitness coach after that. I am really not good on the backroom side of the club so I could be way off.
When I wear their colours, I am the club.

+x+x+xBradden Inman to Roar? Just had his contract in the UK terminated ...? Based solely on stats, he does seem to be able to score a few from midfield, which is something we are definitely lacking. Still only 27 as well. He'd be a decent signing imo. Could also be headed to Western? Yeah could be. Just picked up the announcement on twitter yesterday. I suspect we’ll have a largely Australian/UK & Ireland squad next season so this guy fits. Yep, lot's of grit and determination with the possibility of hoof ball. How many gaffers would Roar take on I wonder?

I believe this is referring to the appointment of Craig Duncan who was previously the Head of Sports Science with the FFA to oversee the sport science program at the club . He is still around, as he was a part of the panel who recruited Fowler. Our current strength and conditioning coach is Scott Smith who was previously with the Wanderers.

Our poor recruiting of visa players has been largely responsible for our decline. The biggest issue for for me is no one’s actually been watching these players play before they’re signed. That’s what I think Fowler and Grant will sign England based players who they’ve seen play.

I am really not good on the backroom side of the club so I could be way off. the year of injury hell came when Karl Dodd was our "high performance manager" and we didnt have a strength and conditioning coach. I dont know what his qualifications for that role were but the results were not pretty. Craig Duncan is a excellent person to have as head of High performance hopefully he has us running well next year, we definitely missed Mauk this season. I suspect that JA wanted to build the side around him so having him out for so long would not have helped at all

It’s interesting that a club needs a head of ‘high performance’. So is everyone else just focused on mediocre performance?

If we're lucky. There's never been a successful team in Australia (to my knowledge) that's been full of Brit players and gaffers under one roof. I'm hoping for the best but fearing the worst.

Understand and share that concern. I’d rather we had 5 Brazilians on the books to be honest. But, there has been a coaching/playing revolution going in over there for the past twenty five years and the best young teams and players are often English and any player under 30 has come through a different system to those older; so reputationally it’s not a good look but who knows?

Tony Grant was Everton's European scout, so I would say he would be in contact with a network of people that span the continent and may be able to unearth a couple of gems out of Europe as well as the UK that aren't PL standard but would be good in the HAL. I am going to remain optimistic.
