As long as the hot head is a gun then it works. Pav, a hot head but just an average or below average player doesn't work.

There is merit to what you are saying but in so far as how far do you go to let someone be a dickhead? 

Essentially if you are going to go down that road, the guy would have to be such an undeniable talent that it guarantees you a title, perhaps like a Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whom is a right fudgewit but massively talented. 

The flip side is that if you don't win, you could set off massive infighting and torch your own team for the sake of one asshole that gets you nothing.

Or we could just recruit players based on ability rather than trying to get 'an hothead who doesn't do the touchy feely stuff' in.

If you can't tell, i'm rolling my eyes.

Sarpong vs my boy Rory Fallon

 - Christ vs Jesus, 

Sarpong, 27, 130 matches 10 goals from midfield, 

Rory, 33, 350ish matches 70 odd goals - as target man.

Sarpong goal every 13 games - half the A-League season - Rory Mellon, goal every 5 games on average.

Rory also knows lyrics to "Slice of Heaven", one nil Jesus over Christ. 

Rory also comes with old caretaker looking chap who looks like his dad and is great with the Weenix - a Wynne, Wynne situation.

Would take him in a heartbeat. A bit of mongrel in midfield he would be great in the A-League

I would take Barton in a general sense but he clearly isn't what we need right now.

According to some random guy on the 442 website Gai Assulin was in Wellington a few weeks ago.

Gai Assulin looks to have an injury history. I know thats not a big deal when you look at Nathan Burns but if teams are wary of signing him because of that, then thats something to consider.

At 24, when you consider where he has been, then I suspect injury(s) could be an issue.
