Well yeah - we can disagree with the approach but as far as I'm concerned whoever signs for us gets the benefit of the doubt

Agree, it doesnt matter who you are or what you've done in the past, I only care about how you play for AUFC. Sure it's interesting to discuss players former clubs and potential but in the end it doesn't matter. You can be the relatively unknown Marcos Flores/Matthew Leckie that works out amazingly for the club or you can be a former Real madrid player like Miguel Palanca and never really gel into the team.Well yeah - we can disagree with the approach but as far as I'm concerned whoever signs for us gets the benefit of the doubt
I imagine it's these sorts of players that they'd be bringing over to get experience, some might swim in which case good for us, others might sink in which case we probably won't see a lot of them.“The under-6 are the best team in the division and two players have qualified for the national under-17 team in China with our club which is now at the same level as where the City (Football) Group bought the (Chinese) club (Sichuan Jiuniu) two weeks ago.
It does add up.If the player is coming from our sister club, then yes its 3rd div China.
Lets consider this:
- Their first div plays our first div off the park
- SANPL is tenuously 2nd div, its a way off VICNPL and NSWNPL, one could argue it's 3rd div here.
- We're rightly cheering the signing of Toure from our "2nd div"
- We're concerned about signing a player from the Chinese 3rd div
The logic doesn't add up. As bpowell above says, let's see how he plays before we get too concerned.
Our SANPL sides have always performed strongly against interstate opposition; Campbelltown and MetroStars come to mind.It does add up.If the player is coming from our sister club, then yes its 3rd div China.

CSL clubs don't play us off the park. Their foreigners carry them.
Campbelltown is arguably the best NPL side in the country however the Vic and NSW NPL's are considered to be stronger though.
The only reason to be concerned is if he's a dud yet still continue to play him week in and out because of an apparent agenda from the owners.Even if our chinese player turns out to be a dud should we really be concerned?
Aleague clubs traditionally take a risk on one visa signing where the player may have alot of promise but carries much risk. Im fine with it.
Yes, we are wasting a visa spot on a player who probably won't ever make the bench and we desperately need a minimum of 1-2 starting XI quality players.Even if our chinese player turns out to be a dud should we really be concerned?

Only u23 players can be loaned so it would have to have been a swap deal.Rumors that we approached city and offered a loan deal for Rostyn Griffiths. City rejected the offer.
I'd say that's a bit dramatic, fans from other clubs appear to be talking us up just with the squad we currently have.At this stage, we'd be lucky to avoid a wooden spoon battle.
I don't think so. The other clubs around us have improved their squad but we haven't. The Western Bitumens have a decent squad as well.I'd say that's a bit dramatic, fans from other clubs appear to be talking us up just with the squad we currently have.At this stage, we'd be lucky to avoid a wooden spoon battle.
Whoever we get will probably be better than Ilso and fitter than Baba.
