depends on cap space after Burns, Gorrin, and WeeMac we might not have any. Plus we can only sign someone on a one year deal. A one legged Ifill is still better than half the imports in the league.
Firstly, no-one has seen a one legged Ifill play. Secondly, and I feel like a broken record on this point but I think it's important, we need to focus on the next Ifill rather than pretending that Ifill 2014 is going to be the same player as Ifill 2008
Yes, if we can and if we have the cap space. Which I suspect we don't.
How do we have one of the worst teams in the A-League and not have any cap space? Also we still have 3 marquee spots. We don't need to get a super, super player as a marquee. Why can't we just sign a relatively average international marquee but pay him about what we pay our other international players. If Welnix don't want to buy another player then that is fine but having no cap space doesn't make sense to me.
Because the owners have said that its a marquee less team.
The cap space issue is an assumption based on a few factors. firstly Burns and Gorrin would not have been cheap, secondly we apparently offered McGlinchey much more than any other team was able to without making him Marquee, thirdly we only have a couple of roster spots left and are looking only at cover players.
If McGlinchey falls through then we likely will have the cap space to sign the next Ifill (but will only be able to offer a single year as foreign space is precious and you would think that we would like to extend Cunningham and Riera if they have good seasons)
Who says we are one of the worse teams in the comp? I think we are going to be extremely competitive. I expect Krishna and Boyd to step up, Burns to show us what he can do, and Cunningham to get into double digits all with the benefit of a solid pre-season, etc.
