Here's the jist of it transfer wise.Coolen: maybe only pay big $$ if a marquee signing will make a difference every game.
Coolen: I always knew that SVD was our marquee plyrs but it's important they are close to the other plyrs & maybe not on real big $$.
Coolen: Need 4-5 more quality players so will spread spending
no need for a marquee cos we have one: SVD tbc
Coolen: Looking at striker, speed out wide, central defence & midfield. Expect Pantelis & Hughes to be here, but you never know.
Anymore signings?

Re: Anymore signings?
Nice to see that Rini also realises we need CBs, another striker and speedy wingers. Not too sure about the midfield recruitment, unless he's looking for another playmaker.

Re: Anymore signings?
From what I read of the twitter updates it looks like Rini has a clear picture of what he wants for the club. And the fact that he doesn't want players whose ego is bigger than the club is good imo. I think thats what really helped Brisbane this season.
With Stubbins it looks like he has ambitions of being more than an assistant at club level and good luck to him, he was a big reason we started the season so good.
This should hopefully put everyone at ease for the next 6/7 months till the season starts. You can't start criticising Rini before the season, if he doesn't improve on this season then have at it.
I for one am excited about next season, but annoyed that the FFA felt the need to accomadate the other codes so we didn't clash with them. I am sure more people are going to be interested in the final few rounds of the A-league rather than the opening rounds of AFL/NRL, as long as they know it is on.

Re: Anymore signings?
So Estrada is 100% not coming?
Judging from the twitter comments, seems like Rini isn't too confident Flores will stay. The Dodd situation is interesting, obivously without going into financials, I think AU's offer was pretty good.

Yeah as far as Central midfielders go we'll have:Nice to see that Rini also realises we need CBs, another striker and speedy wingers. Not too sure about the midfield recruitment, unless he's looking for another playmaker.
Caravella
Hughes
Pancho
Pants (this is the only position i can see him filling)
Barbs
Malik
Thats a pretty strong looking centre of the park IMO

No, they're calling van Dijk the equivalent of a marquee, being the highest earner in the squad.

Re: Anymore signings?
Cristiano may work under coolen, Coolen would be aware of him as he played in the eredivisie i believe?
Really hoping flores doesnt leave, particularly as i have a birthday to goto on fans day and cant get him to sign my freaking Viva Flores shirt grrr lol.... Maybe ill shoot the club an email and sugar coat and beg them to sort it out for me
