He was bloody good this year. Brilliant reserve keeper now and if Number 1 is out you lose nothing. I actually thought we might make a play for him.

Was Garcia washed up when he signed with us.

Young isn’t going somewhere to be a backup at his age, only caveat being if there’s a GK coaching role tacked on to the end of the deal. Still a very good keeper and in the top half of the starting keepers in the league last season.

I’m not debating he isn’t a good keeper. He was brilliant season before last and can still pull out some top shelf saves. But city you would think would be aiming higher for a number 1, not a well aged keeper from another Aleague club, good or otherwise.

But city you would think would be aiming higher for a number 1

Who should they be aiming at then? Assuming they aren't wanting to use a visa spot on a keeper that narrows the field. They've got some players to replace and the visa spots are more valuable in the outfield if they can get a decent local like Young. Gauci locked in with Adelaide. Danny has the same issue youve got with Young and seems to be locked in with us. Anyone else is a bit of a gamble but Heward Belle was the pick of the bunch for relatively young keepers with some experience. Maybe Delianov but he's contracted.

I don't see City being willing to bring in someone too green and put their faith in them. This way provided Young stays fit they can work on Beach for a season before deciding if he's ready to step up next season.

I think our budget is a wee bit tighter than City’s?

Look. I would prefer to watch Young in goals than Glover. So more than happy to go with it. As I said, I was just surprised.

I hope he goes. He deserves a decent payday after living through our dark days,

Was one of our best players

 

[true believer]

D’Arrigo by choice I’d say. He did ok in the 23’s. The others probably not their choosing.

he's certainly quality .should be snapped up by an astute manager .
