He's got pace which we need but that's about it.

We've signed 3 heart rejects in the past 6 months and the first 2 have been...underwhelming. Would rather keep Malik.

Only if its a reduced wage and it allows troisi to come in.

But williams can barely hit the target, definetly better then duganzic out wide and is surely an upgrade but at what cost?!

A little pissed off tbh.

Williams is an okay player off the bench, seems gets injured a lot, Malik is certainly a higher quality player although has a lot of injury problems and his form is inconsistent.

Williams would probably be a bit better than Dugandzic.

A very bad swap.

Probably some of the worst business I've seen the club do. We're short an attacking player but to trade the club's best defender for one is crazy. I'm devo to see a player like Ossie go.

The club would be better off giving Kamau game time than giving Williams game time. Kamau can improve, Williams is not likely to improve.

I agree. I can't help but feel if AU signed a more accomplished winger this season they wouldn't have had to make this deal.

Lets put this into perspective.

1 year ago we released probably a top 2 in the league winger for free. (Ferreira).

We signed duganzic.

He has been so bad we need to replace him with another city reject. But this time it costs us Malik one of the most versatile defenders in the league.

Not only is duganzic taking up a roster spot and cap space but he now cost us Malik.

Has anyone else realised we can now play a john aloisi front 3 that earnt him so much success at heart.

Not one of those 3 heart player are as good as our players at hitting the target even though our guys routinely missed an open goal.

All three have a history of injuries also .....

Am i missing something ? How to cheat yourself 101

Also we fought to keep malik amid offers from overseas..... 6 months on trade for williams !?

Surely this has to be a way to open cap space up for troisi?!

Unless Adelaide are freeing up cap space to allow them to move things around and sign Troisi, I have lost so much respect for the club's owners.

Why the fuck would you get rid of your best defender for another City reject?

What the actual fuck.
