We Are The Reds

More people are against the World Cup coming to Australia then the Pope coming here?!

Every person who bitches about the WC should have to explain where Australia would get that $35 billion in lost revenue.

Probably this clubs first player who will be elevated to legend status in years to come, although eugene may have something to say about that. The beauty of it is, he is looking to naturalise so thats an extra visa spot available How far away is that? And will it actually happen? Great news though!

yeah, but the problem is if that facing star does not show the form that their career hi light real shows then interest falls away very quickly when people realise "oh he is human after all" IMO the idea/goal behind marquees and guest players is that they boost crowds from our 11-12k up to maybe 14...

What about someone like Leckie or Flores as a marquee. Sure we would be holding their career back. But Flores next season would have as much pulling power as most players

I think we should 'gamble' on these players and have faith in our scouts like Carl Veart who went over and found Marcos and now that he is here Rini who spotted Jason Culina. If these guys can continue this form of finding talent we will become a gold mine! Leave the Fowler's and Romario's as guest...

I would put it down to the most asian players weren't suited to our style of play and weren't big enough to deal with the physical side of the A-league. But thankfully this is now changing. Also the money over here isn't very good! An average J-league player earns over double what an average A-leagu...

I get the impression Rini would have some players in mind from when he was in Europe. A big crunt of a centre back and a new number 10 please Mr. Coolen.

And a new winger/second striker and the trophy is ours!

On the TWG website there is a story about how LA wanted to play other A-league teams and Newcastle were the first to agree.

I wonder if our new owners would be considering a game like this? We couldn't play a big match like this at Hindmarsh though...

I'd be in on that!

The story also mentions that Rini is already looking at new overseas players. I really hope we keep Marcos till at least the end of the season.

Can a reporter please ask Rini what positions he thinks we need players in!
