I actually googled that person to see if they had had any specific eduction, due to the flood comment. 
But after seeing, it just seems like a ringleader person. I may be wrong, but your intel seems to confirm it somewhat.

The few dog walkers in there were little old ladies. They wouldn't get violent.

Anyone hearing more info on other potential signings or other MV player movements. I saw in another thread someone mentioned Loz was still training with us and JT doing the usual shopping around.

Rumours going around on Twitter that he got caught doing coke or something on holidays. Would happily take him though, anyone is an improvement on Brown.

Fuck, forgot we still had him on the books.

Surely he wouldn't get a look in under Kurz?

firstly, its only a rumour. It would need to be admitted to or proven to start with. secondly, doing coke on holidays is not performance enhacing, so he's not subjected to WADA protocols. and even if he if banned by the English FA, would that ban even be acknowledged in Australia?

Yeah true it’s only a rumour.

Bulut was banned by the Turkish FA and can’t play here iirc so I assume a ban would be acknowledged.

I can see how a simpleton would think that.
I know a great deal about the A league.
However I am not an expert on every potential import. There are quite a few people on here however that might know of some good candidates.

Lol fair enough. Don’t mind me I just couldn’t help saying it. 
As a Sydney fan I’m very interested to see how victory play it from here. To be honest I don’t think Kurz has what it takes to coach victory. 
Happily proven wrong I just have this feeling he’s more of an underdog coach then a favourites coach if that makes sense.

MV season will be determined by the quality of these 4 imports. If Kurts gets these right they will do well. If not then the season will be very poor. The quality of his coaching will be less important than his ability to pull the right players.

Yes and no. I agree the quality of import will be important but I think Kurz needs to do a job with them. 
The fact (as far as I know) they aren’t even here yet for me isn’t a good sign. 
History shows the longer imports have for pre season the Better for all involved. 

Just look at castro pre Popovic, Brisbane roar under JA etc

The clock is definitely ticking. Think Kurts could squeeze out a good season with young fast players. At the moment he does not have that so lots of work to be done with getting the right imports who can just come in and gel quickly. That is not an easy thing to achieve.

Very true. I agree Kurz could squeeze blood out of a stone with young players but I don’t think that’s victory want. Victory want to win every year, that’s where I think there may be an issue. 
Regardless, good luck to him.

What do people think of Nabbout? For me, it's nice that he's returned but will he live up to the promise he's shown. Since leading the line in the World Cup he's been ravaged by injuries.

He's defintely an improved player, so that's the big plus. Until we see how Kurtz will line up our team, it's hard to judge obviously. I'm hoping that being next to someone like Ola will improve him even more.

Good call re: Ola, he seemed to really lift Kosta's goal scoring out put
