So the 2011/2012 squad so far

[davidbloop]

maybe Hughes is looking to head back overseas? not sure who has set these up, but it's clearly for exposure.

3 5 minute clips of nothing but Hughes.

Definately looks like they're trying to get interest from any clubs willing to sign, especially even with just the name of the channel 'footballsolutions' sounds like an agency.

[Nash]

Flores should stay 10, he'll always play in the middle of the park whereas i can never see Slory playing anywhere other than the wings or make shift striker. i can't say he's not as creative though as he hasn't quite had the opportunities to showcase that side of his game.

looking at a line up with no Leckie just saddens me

[Cassio!!]

lets just have aussie defenders plz save the imports for mid / up front lets sign a class japanese player (thats not young, not old)

[Stuckey]

I heard Slory say on Friday night when he was signing autographs that he is staying for the next two years.

There you have it straight from the horse's mouth!

[ganas]

Sign Endo from Gamba Osaka!
imagine endo and flores together in the middle of the park pulling the strings.

[redhorse]

Endo and flores. Mmmmmmm nice. Wonder if we will sign a marquee?

[Stuckey]

Except fot the awesome freekicks do you think Caravella could be that player?

I've rated him pretty highly since he's come back to Oz

[Stuckey]

So at the moment we're hearing nothing but outs, no ins as yet.

Dodd - Perth
Reid - Prob sydney
Pants - told to hit the road
Flakes - looking for a deal in Asia
Monty - Joined Metrostars (i'm not sure if thats just for the off season)
Costa - Joining Monty at Metrostars sound like a similar deal.
Bodrusic - contract expired may be back.

i think with reid leaving barbs will come back to a more central role which is great i can see him stepping up to play like Reid except Barbs has a better long range shot on him!
Defence is a large point at the moment Boogs is the only central defender we're sure will be back next season.

[flavze]

Bodrusic has been released.

We still have Flakes on contract and Mullen is a CB.

Plus when we sign Lucas Neil as Marquee we will have decent depth there.

[Nash]

i'm happy to see Bodrusic go. i want to see a CB come in of much more experience and vision. Bodrusic seemed like he had the vision to pass the ball out of defence and set things up, but i had no confidence in his actual defensive game... therefore no point in keeping him imo. he would be alright has a 2nd CB, but i think that should be Boogs.

we need a leader back there.

[shinAUFC]

Id like to see mullen and boogard be our regular pairing and we look at an international RB? someone a bit more technical.. in the cassio/alemao type player.

Pantelis has been released?? i thought he was given the option to go but was told he will be retained if he wanted to stay? He would be one of our higher earners.

[Stuckey]

Personally i think Dario would benefit greatly from a decent pre-season with us.

He seemed to lack awareness of what players around him were going to do.

[shinAUFC]

im going to take a stab at our line up for next year.

TBA....Mullen...Boogard....Cassio
........Usucar...................
.................Caravella.......
TBA........Flores...........Slory
............Van Dijk.............

Ramsay
Barbiero
Hughes.
Birra (if he stays)

We need someone to cover for Van Dijk, Djite would be perfect!
Rojas would be a great winger for us, though he has said he does not want to be one
Also i want a talented RB
