In monty we trust.

Enjoyed watching Moresche, interested to see where he ends up. Thankfully we have 2 other Brazilians still!

 

[LG__]

Bit disappointed with this, Moresche was on absolute fire in that last chapter of the season when he did his ACL.
Great comeback arc to end on though getting the final goal in the grand final, will always be remembered.

 

[Big Dog]

Makes me think he is joining another aleague club considering he hasnt left australia

It's pretty late to be trying to find space on the books at another A-league club. Not impossible though I guess. I've heard he's open to offers and hoping something good may open up in Brazil

 

[Michael]

Monty’s comments sound as though he’s given Moresche the flick. Which says to me he has a visa player he really wants, on the way. Nothing else makes sense. I trust Monty.

Moresche was a great servant for the club. Wish him the best going forward.

Jets? Hope not.

I have a feeling this maybe right about a new visa player

 

[pjennings]

With our Portugal links if not Brazil, maybe Portugal. Even in their top division the standard drops markedly after the top 4.

 

[VonBowellski]

off to Brisbane Roar is my guess

I'm expecting a LW and a RCB. RCB soon and probably wait until January after Di Pizio leaves for the LW.

 

[Wombat]

With no knowledge of how we are playing in pre-season this is my starting XI. Theo I'll leave on the bench ATM - until I see what a Monty pre-season has done to him.

Vuka
Storm Windust Brian Fazz
Doka Nizz Max Smith
Tulio Alou

Hall and Steele as defensive cover and plenty of choices for attacking cover - Theoharous, Di Pizio, Millard, Wenzell-Halls, Reec

Theo in for Smith no question

 

[Big Al]

Bit of a surprise didn’t see that one coming

That injury was at the worst time for him. He was finally looking promising when it happened and took him out of the finals.

Then wasn’t the same (pretty much expected) post injury and the team was clicking so he couldn’t get the run he needed. His ball control is typical Brazilian but I think DWH Theo and the rest of the Aussie brigade will score as many as he would have.

Probably looking to show case others to sell as well so he wouldn’t get the opportunity.

Watch out for Monty’s knife. It’s razor sharp. You’ll get cut if you don’t perform

 

[priorpeter]

Had a big offer from a club in Luxembourg which fell through. Most likely heading back to Brazil now.

 

[Tevor]

100%, but if these young lads go overseas it is no different so they might as well get used to it now. Good on him for being so brutal and going against the typical A League recycle show. It's just such a change for our Club after so many years accepting everything mediocre.

 

[turbo]

off to Brisbane Roar is my guess

Roar are looking for a visa striker and they’ve done much worse in previous recruiting efforts. Would be a nailed on starter too.

 

[pjennings]

Theo in for Smith no question

Wasn't a 90 minute player last year. If "Monty" fit he starts - otherwise I think he poses a greater threat later in the game. That said - he started at Mudgee and got 2 of his 3 assists in that game.

 

[sydmariner]

Jets? Hope not.

He’s better than that.

 

[Michael]

He seemed super happy here in aus so I wouldn’t be surprised if he stays in the league. Would be a great signing for some of the lower teams.

Isn't it nice to be able to say that?

 

[FFC Mariner]

That doesn’t read like he’s the one that was looking for the move away. It’s harsh but I think DWH provides as much without taking a visa slot and likely cheaper.

DWH won't last. Too fragile
